WATCHKevin McCarthy Doesn’t Even Come Within Miles of Answering a Question About George Santos in Absolutely Brutal Dodge
"House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) didn’t even come close to answering an awkward question about assigning controversial Rep. George Santos (R-NY) to committees — in one of the most brutal dodges you’ll see.
Speaking with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation Sunday, the California congressman somehow turned a query about Santos — the New York congressman who is embroiled in scandal over his wildly falsified resume and serious campaign finance questions — into a two-minute rant against proxy voting in the House.
“Doesn’t it further wear down credibility [of Congress] when you put someone who is under state, local, federal and international investigation as a representative of your party on committees?” Brennan asked.
“Are you talking about [Eric] Swalwell?” McCarthy replied, sarcastically.
“I’m talking about George Santos, representative from New York,” Brennan replied."
