Poor Kevin McCarthy in trouble yet again. Always with his own party, always because there's a tape somewhere or something that he didn't bother to think could exist, apparently the technology that we know of as audio and video which I'm using right now is not something that Kevin McCarthy thinks can be copied and given to other people and so he keeps, you know, he keeps suffering the consequences of that and I gotta tell you I'm heartbroken. I hate it when the kids fight. Most recently the New York Times got a hold of audio of, of Kevin McCarthy Republican leader and Republican whip Steve Scalise former white nationalist sympathizer and maybe still and after the insurrection on the sixth they were complaining mightily about what happened, worried how much it would hurt the Republican party. New York Times obtained a recording and apparently McCarthy accused certain Republican members of quote, putting people in jeopardy, unquote.
Yeah, you could say they did that when they stabbed and gorged and kicked and stomped and speared Capitol police officers and raided offices and yes I'll say it again, smeared feces on the walls and the rest. In any case, McCarthy in talking to Scalise chose to pick out some characters you'll probably have heard of as the ones who were causing the worst trouble. He said quote, he's putting people in jeopardy, he would be Matt Gaetz, you know him as a Florida congressman, an immature man baby, spoiled brat whose dad's money got him there and someone being investigated and perhaps indicted soon for trafficking underage women. That's correct. Beyond that he said quote, and he doesn't need to be doing this, we're talking about Gaetz again, we saw what people would do in the Capitol, you know, and these people came prepared with rope with everything else.
Yeah, I wonder what McCarthy thought the rope was there for. Clearly he knew even though he would deny this later. In days after McCarthy as we know criticized Trump but he also criticized Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, Andy Biggs, you know, called them the sociopath coalition. The ones that were the most involved, who would show up or call the Willard hotel and meet with Trump's brain trust to try and overthrow the will of the people on this 200-plus year democracy of ours. Well they seem to be kind of pissed about it. I would be too. I'm not gonna defend them. they happen to be crazy. but they're pissed and, and they're, they're hitting back. On yesterday today, today's Wednesday, McCarthy met for the first time with members of the caucus and the aforementioned Gaetz, I don't believe he brought any 16 year old girls with him if i'm right but, you know, New York Times or Washington Post might not report that. He referred to Scalise and McCarthy as quote, the behavior of weak men not leaders.
Also Andy Biggs another insurrectionist who was known to be plotting with folks ahead of the January 6th insurrection was critical too. He was not happy at all. There are others that were there that were kind of pissed off too. They had also criticized Mo Brooks who encouraged people, sorry I just can't believe this, to go into the Capitol occursion to quote, kick ass and they did. They went to the Capitol and broke windows and smeared feces on the walls and attacked people. At this point Donald Trump has unendorsed him for Alabama congressman because he doesn't want to keep talking about the election being stolen. There's just nothing good enough you can do. But he was also attacked. Gaetz has now hit back and singled out Liz Cheney as one of the evil perpetrators that are helping Democrats, I would call it sort of trying to preserve democracy.
The biggest problem if we're being honest for, for McCarthy and his speakership is Tucker Carlson because Tucker Carlson, maybe Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson of the Swanson frozen food Carlson family, spoiled brat, masculine man who apparently tans his testicles as we know from earlier videos and dumb bow tie lover extraordinaire, but he has the eyes and ears of many of Fox.
