I call ‘em like I see ‘em

McCarthy’s violent threats won’t go unchecked on my watch. Friend, You know me. You've helped me. You have my back — and I have yours. So it probably doesn't surprise you that when Kevin McCarthy threatened to fight me on the House Floor recently, I told him what I thought of him. …

Jim Jordan is still defending Trump

Extremists have control over our government. Friends, As much as we should be concerned about Trump’s indictments, I’m just as concerned about the Republicans in Congress like Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan who are still defending him.  These extremists have taken control over our go…
