John,

Six months ago today, a violent mob fueled by the lies of Donald Trump stormed the Capitol in an attack on our democracy.

The world watched as insurrectionists undermined the will of the American people, endangered the lives of countless public servants and desecrated our U.S. Capitol in the strongest possible terms.

One of those under attack that day was Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy.

And since then, he has:

Said Donald Trump “bears responsibility” for the Capitol riot -- and then promptly walked that claim back,
Voted against the impeachment of President Trump,
Kicked Liz Cheney out of House leadership for voting to impeach Donald Trump,
Opposed the formation of a commission to investigate the events of January 6 and protect the Capitol from future attack,
Refused to meet with Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone, who was seriously injured protecting Members of Congress like himself from rioters,
Met with with Officer Fanone after weeks of public pressure -- only to tell him he will not publicly disavow lies Rebublican lawmakers are telling about the insurrection,
And finally, threatened to punish members of his own party who serve on the House commission aimed at getting to the truth about January 6.

It’s clear: Kevin McCarthy and the GOP are willing to risk inciting the same violence we saw at the Capitol six months ago by continuing to embrace Donald Trump’s Big Lie.

John, we can’t let Kevin McCarthy become the next Speaker of the House. Will you chip in $15 to our 2022 fight fund today? Every dollar goes towards organizing to keep the house in 2022 and ensure Kevin McCarthy never wields the power of House Speaker.

Donate »Kevin McCarthy has shown again and again that he won’t do what it takes to protect our democracy. The only way to fight back is to organize and win big. But rest assured, with the grassroots people-power of 10M California Democrats, we can do anything.

Onward!
