House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) lambasted the author of the anonymous op-ed in the New York Times as a “coward” on Sunday, adding that it proved the existence of a “deep state.”
“Whoever wrote it is a coward,” McCarthy told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo. “If you ever wondered is there a deep state? Is there somebody high in government that would hide behind media to work against the voters of America and create a constitutional crisis? It’s proven today that it is.”
McCarthy went on to blame the New York Times for publishing the piece to distract from positive economic news.

If by ‘deep state’ he means Americans who are scared shitless for our Country - yeah I agree.
Such bravery, Kevin! And on a “deep state” liberal-lovin’ network like FoxNews to boot! Why, I haven’t seen such a display of courage since that chicken wing dinner I ordered from KFC on Friday night!
The “Deep State” is comprised of the Trump GOP and the government they run.
The only “deep state”, Kevin, is the comatose condition of your and Trump’s brain.
Mccarthy continues the grand show for the rubes. Deep State, my ass.
