'No one has done more.' At the RNC, Kevin McCarthy lauds Trump

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, California’s most powerful Republican, lauded President Trump as a savior for the nation on Thursday, the final night of the GOP’s national convention.

“No one has done more to protect and advance [the United States] than President Trump,” McCarthy said, arguing that Trump created strong trade deals, supported the military and strengthened the border. “As Republicans, we are proud to stand with him and to work for you. Together we built the greatest economy the world has ever seen — and we will do it again.”

McCarthy laced into Democratic nominee Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris — his state’s junior senator — as supporting policies that would lead to socialism, poverty and government control.

McCarthy, a prodigious fundraiser who has represented the Central Valley in Congress since 2007, was the chairman of the Republicans’ four-day nominating convention. The post is recognition of McCarthy’s being among Trump’s earliest supporters in the 2016 presidential campaign and among his most vocal and loyal defenders.

He didn’t tell the FBI.

The blood is on Kevin’s hands, too.
