The McCarthy attacks another big fat liberal lie!

Why would the President forgive McCarthy after McCarthy suggested he was unfit and should resign? Because McCarthy never suggested he was unfit and should resign!

Same words, but a different understanding. The conversation here is whether or not the President should resign if he faced some sort of impeachment or 25th Amendment challenge. McCarthy believed at the time that this would pass the House and possibly even the Senate. We now know that impeachment passed the House, but not the Senate, so McCarthy's initial estimates of how many Republicans would go along with these attacks on Trump was a significant overestimation. 

Obviously many Congress critters were upset by the January 6th riot in their own backyard. Rather than use this to better empathise with how the rest of the country has had to deal with riots, crimes, and such... many of these cowards demanded that this was "different" because this was an attack on "them" and thus some sort of constitutional crisis. Was McCarthy guilty of this as well? Might even have lashed out at easy targets up front? Possibly. But there is nothing in these tapes that suggests McCarthy himself thought that Trump was unfit or even that he would support the 25th amendment (he did not support impeachment). 

The suggestion otherwise is..... well a lie. 

Here is what Legal Insurrection had to say:

There’s no word yet on whether or not that proposed conversation between President Trump and minority leader McCarthy ever took place, but if it did, it probably went just as he said. Hey, Mr. President, it looks like the 25th Amendment resolution will pass at least the Pelosi-run House, that’s bad. It may be best if you resign rather than go down in history as removed from office for being “unable to discharge the powers and duties” of office. No? Oh, okay, I thought not

What is also notable about this released/leaked audio is what we don’t hear. We don’t hear McCarthy conspiring with Cheney to remove Trump from office; we don’t hear him state that he personally believes Trump is unfit or that he would support the 25th Amendment resolution they are discussing; we don’t hear him state that he would be upset or angry if Trump refused his advice to resign in the face of 25th Amendment removal; and we don’t hear what he’d “do” if Trump refused his advice.

In other words, this is a great big nothingburger. We already knew that McCarthy, like many in GOP leadership, was (too) quick to condemn President Trump in the hours and days immediately following J6, and we also know that he, like many in GOP leadership, very quickly changed his tune. We also know that President Trump was gracious enough to forgive him his emotional outburst and accept his apology.

Most conservatives are ignoring the latest crazy rantings of people who seem to be capable of nothing other than their latest crazy rant. But those who are addressing this are in the same boat. Pretty much every adults agrees that the attacks on McCarthy are simple more red herring that attempts to conceal the fact that Democrats are slowly destroying America with their hate and anger. McCarthy has nothing to do with anything of substance and it likely will not harm McCarthy's standing in the Republican Party at all. 

Sorry liberals. But you are barking up the wrong tree again and nobody but other hateful crazed lunatics care about this. But I hear CNN+ will devote most of their airtime on this, so make sure to sign up and send them your money!
