I imagine living with your head in the sand can be pretty boring.

Kevin McCarthy - LIAR

“It would be my recommendation you should resign,” McCarthy told fellow GOP House leaders in a Jan. 10, 2021, call, explaining the advice he planned to give to the then-president as a second impeachment loomed. “That would be my take. I don’t think he would take it, but I don’t know.”
In addition to falsely calling the story wrong, McCarthy on Thursday trashed journalists, claiming “the corporate media is obsessed with doing everything it can to further a liberal agenda.”
A spokesman for McCarthy did not respond to a request for comment from HuffPost on Friday.
The Times reporters on Friday released a separate recording of McCarthy telling a broader group of House Republicans, the week after the attack, that Trump had agreed with him that he bore “some responsibility” for what happened. That claim, which was reported at the time without the audio, doesn’t gel with Trump’s behavior then or now. In recent months, Trump has gone so far as to describe the riot as a justified protest against a stolen election.

And your point is?

Do you mean that President Trump isn't allowed to have an opinion about the riot?

Do you mean that you won't take the word of the man (McCarthy) that actually said something rather than the spin from a biased news source?

The NEW way to be a real player in the Republican Party is :

To LIE, get caught , make excuses and pretend it doesn’t matter.

Oh, it matters all right. You can bet that there will be a price to pay. Just not publicly.
