House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) bristled under questioning about why the Republican caucus is only just now taking steps to punish Rep. Steve King (R-IA) for his comments on white supremacy.
“Have I been leader for years?” he retorted, according to the New York Times.
He continued that he has only been the “in a position to take action” as the head of the House Republicans for “a short amount of time.”
King has now been stripped of his committee roles and indirectly condemned by the passage of a resolution in the House decrying white supremacy. He has a years-long track record of offensive statements and hobnobbing with far-right fringe groups.
Because history just started in January of this year in Kevin’s mind. Like the Busheviks who forgot any of the horrible things Bush did in office and the way the trumpanzees will disavow any knowledge of trump’s actions when he is gone. Has he been leader for years? No but he has known about Steve KKKing’s remarks for years and said not a word.
Enjoy your time under the bus Ryan. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving fella.
“Have I Been Leader For Years?”
Always the first to take responsibility for moral leadership!
Corrupt, hypocritical failures of human and moral decency.
Oooooooooh, nice backstabbing on rAyn, Kev.
Such a hero
