Washington Post Torches Kevin McCarthy: ‘Thrown In His Lot With Enemies Of Democracy’
The Post’s editorial board said an “unprecedented” step must be taken against the top House Republican.

The Washington Post tore into House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) refusal to cooperate with a House select committee’s investigation into the U.S. Capitol riot.

In an editorial published Thursday, the newspaper said the probe into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on Congress by a violent mob of then-President Donald Trump’s supporters was “indispensable not only for history, but also to bolster the nation’s democratic procedures against another attempt to subvert them, which could come as early as 2024.”

“No patriotic American should oppose such a probe,” the newspaper’s editorial board wrote.

The Post called for the subpoena of key Trump ally McCarthy, a move it described as “unprecedented” but necessary because “his behavior amounts to a dereliction of his oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

“In his quest to become the next GOP House speaker, Mr. McCarthy has instead thrown in his lot with the enemies of democracy,” the editorial declared.

1. Mr Benghazi says if they were in the majority they would be legislating not investigating!

2. Kevin McCarthy speaks with forked tongue and ass

He too lusts for power and REVRNGE towards anyone who stood up to Dear Leader.

Not only do we need to fear turning into another Russia or North Korea if Republicans take over, everything that was gained since 1776 will be lost snd erased from memory.

4. One of the first things that came out of his mouth was inflation and gas prices. Like Joe

called OPEC and said jack up the price of oil and then he raised prices worldwide on everything! A week ago he was calling Joe Biden a socialist, then a week later he's calling him a Predatory Capitalist. People without common sense eat this shit up!

10. "People without common sense..."

Unfortunately, that describes a helluva lot of people.

11. Almost the entire Republican base. You have to be stupid to

vote for a party that only cares about giving away tax cuts to billionaires. Too stupid to realize they are shooting themselves in the foot for the tax evading billionaires entertainment.

3. I think the Washington post

just gave a lot freedump guys a semi

5. Pretty sure McCarthy and most Repugs really don't care about WaPo opinions

Their base isn't reading WaPo and even if they do, they heed or understand none of what they read. I see all these articles online about Colbert, Kimmel, Noah, Meyers, NYT, WaPo, etc. really owning some or another Repug or their talking points. It cheers us on the left, but not sure it moves the dial much with the morons that vote R.

6. Epitaph for a Toady of Tyranny

Kudos WaPo!

7. This is good; now be consistent and spread this message across other media platforms

The media need to do a better job of defending the Constitution that affords them their lofty place in our society.
