https://www.rawstory.com/2019/09/republican-house-minority-leader-goes-down-in-epic-flames-during-60-minutes-interview/
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) had an embarrassing moment on 60 Minutes Sunday, when co-host Scott Pelley read the concerning excerpt from the transcript of the call between President Donald Trump and Ukraine.
McCarthy was asked about Trumps quote, I would like you to do us a favor, though.
You just added another word, McCarthy claimed.
No, its in the transcript, Pelley corrected him.
He said- Id like you to do a favor, though? McCarthy asked.
Yes, its in the White House transcript, Pelley explained to McCarthy.

It's kind of amazing to me that none of these people take the talking points given by Trump's WH,

In defense of Kevin, he did say who was on Russia's payroll. And he has a nice tan.

Why is it that the GOP doesn't take the time to read anything not bullet-pointed? None of them ...

I'm sure he, like all the others, only read the talking points and marching orders from the White House. They don't think for themselves.

(14,966 posts)4. It's kind of amazing to me that none of these people take the talking points given by Trump's WH,
and hand them off to a staffer with the order "hey, tell me which ones aren't ridiculous bullshit and if you can't find any, fix them up or even write some new ones"
Hell, if you step out of line on the message of the day, but you do so by making a BETTER (well, LESS BAD) argument, is anyone really going to be mad that you aren't in line?
