BREAKING: New details about Trump-McCarthy shouting match show Trump refused to call off the riotersIn an expletive-laced phone call with House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy while the Capitol was under attack, then-President Donald Trump said the rioters cared more about the election results than McCarthy did.
"Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are," Trump said, according to lawmakers who were briefed on the call afterward by McCarthy. McCarthy insisted that the rioters were Trump's supporters and begged Trump to call them off. Trump's comment set off what Republican lawmakers familiar with the call described as a shouting match between the two men. A furious McCarthy told the President the rioters were breaking into his office through the windows, and asked Trump, "Who the f--k do you think you are talking to?" according to a Republican lawmaker familiar with the call. https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/12/politics/trump-mccarthy-shouting-match-details/index.html

16. Well...
That seems to make sense that this was the outcome of a "conversation. 
I remember the news reports as the Capitol invasion was going on (I was watching CSPAN and listening to my local CBS affiliate news radio station) and the commentators were indicating that multiple people were trying to get a hold of 45 and eventually, it was reported, the "only" one who supposedly made contact was McCarthy. Supposedly people were even trying to get his kids to intervene. At this point, the fodder needs to be banked for election time - and not just 2022, but literally for THIS year for any states that might have state legislative seats up. They need to define the GOP as supporters of insurrection. |
