More tapes coming out. Long story short, he (McCarthy) mentions concern he and others have for the tripe and dangerous rhetoric coming out of his own caucus, and a few of them are named… some of the usual suspects. The cartoonish far-right members. McCarthy also urges them to stop posting things that incite violence against others or threaten each other. He’s very direct and firm. A leader. Boy, he did limp out big time.
McCarthy Feared G.O.P. Lawmakers Put ‘People in Jeopardy’ After Jan. 6 (Published 2022)
New audio recordings reveal Kevin McCarthy worried that comments by his far-right colleagues could incite violence. He said he would try to rein in the lawmakers, but has instead defended them.www.nytimes.com
It’s behind a paywall, but that’s the long and short of it, with audio proof.
This is a real-life version of the image you conjur up in your head of politicians saying one thing in public and doing another in private. It’s so out in the open, and his lies are on audio tape, video, social media and images, in the press, etc. You can call him out on his lies and inconsistencies right to his face, and he will look right at someone knowing America is watching and tell a whopper of a lie.
His base doesn’t really like him now that they’ve heard him call Trump unfit to serve, so he’s just a RINO to them. They want someone like Gym Jordache or MTG for their perceived “toughness” (I know, it’s laughable, but it’s true.) And democrats certainly don’t like him.
But he’ll probably be speaker in the end anyways, despite most of America not liking him and not voting for him. Sort of like Trump. A lot like Trump, actually. Because for both Trump and McCarthy, lies and bullshit are just means to an end. And somehow, they manage to drag enough of America along with them.

Let's have a great big round of "WTF?" when it comes to this party

Oh, and the Matt Gaetz sex trafficking case is still ongoing.
What values! Seriously, what values?
The most pathetic part of it is that he’s embarrassed by the tapes instead of his current bootlicking of Trump. The tapes indicate borderline rational behavior, which is a disqualifier for GOP politicians.

As it's been pointed out, Romney is the WORST case to be calling anything out, because he is THE example of privilege. In recounting the "hard times" they had in college his wife pointed out they lived off of stocks given to Mitt while in college. Statistically how many students does one believe survives on stocks in college? Because if I could have I would NOT have discovered a diet of RC Cola & ramen noodles, and that "Joe's beer the beer of steel workers" should be considered a packaged crime of humanity.
