House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) heartily embraced a conservative talking point that’s gained momentum in recent days: Parts of the Russia probe were an attempted “coup” on President Trump.
During a Washington Post live event on Thursday, McCarthy told reporters he agreed with Trump’s use of the word “coup,” pointing to the text messages between two senior FBI officials, who were working on the probe, that showed an anti-Trump bias.
“Their actions are a coup,” McCarthy reportedly said. “I do not believe they were abiding by the rule of law based on what they said.”
The idea that the Russia probe, or at least portions of it, were an attempted coup of Trump’s presidency was first raised by his son Donald Trump Jr. President Trump quickly embraced that assessment, telling Fox News last week that the probe was a “coup” and “an attempted overthrow” of the U.S. government.
Definitely one of the dumber Okiefornians from the capital of Okiefornia, Bakersfield. How he manages to walk and chew gum at the same time is beyond me.
McCarthy, would that be the same tRUmp you believe is on putin’s payroll?
Every time McCarthy speaks, the collective American IQ drops a couple of points.
Coup? Are you fucking kidding?
Coup to what end? Getting the Nazi Qtip into office?
But then again this nonsense comment is for the unthinking Republican base.
Remember: They are not misinformed. They love Putin and are working towards an autocratic America. They know what happened, enabled it, and are grateful for Putin’s skilled interference.
We are not all in this together.
