In a “shocking” turn of events, Kevin McCarthy, the man who constantly threatens to kick me off of my Committee if he takes over... lied. Again.
And this time it’s revealed on tape. After repeatedly denying he was going to call on Trump to resign after January 6th, the press just released an audio tape revealing that’s exactly what he told colleagues he was planning to do at the time.
It should surprise absolutely no one that Kevin McCarthy lied. And it should surprise nobody that he did so to cover for the former President and to try to help himself stay in leadership in the Republican Party.
There is nothing Kevin McCarthy wants more than to become Speaker of the House. And he’s willing to do anything – and blatantly lie — to get power.
We cannot let Kevin McCarthy become Speaker of the House. We just can’t. Ever.

Let me tell you a true story about Kevin McCarthy:
The first real conversation I ever had with Kevin was on a plane back to Washington in 2010. We sat next to each other and had a perfectly inconsequential conversation about the upcoming midterms, the type of conversation you have when you are waiting for the movie – literally any movie – to start. We landed and went our separate ways.
But when Kevin got back to the Capitol, he told reporters that I said Democrats were sure to lose the House that year. I said no such thing.
I immediately confronted Kevin on the House Floor. "You know I said the exact opposite of what you told the press,” I said. Kevin looked straight at me, and replied, “I know, Adam, but you know how it goes.”
Yup. That’s how he is. That’s how he has always been. The truth matters nothing to him.
And his lies have gotten far more dangerous to our fragile democracy.
Can you rush $10 to our campaign to help Democrats keep the House Majority and ensure Kevin McCarthy never gets near the Speaker’s Office?
