While kissing his humongous stinky ass.House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy continues to thread a precarious needle as he tries to balance all the factions of the Republican Party by simultaneously keeping close to former President Donald Trump while also rewriting the narrative of his role on both January 6 and the weeks leading up to the insurrection at the US Capitol.
When Trump left office, McCarthy had to decide whether to denounce him for inciting the January 6 attack or embrace him in hopes that it would help Republicans secure the majority of the House in the 2022 midterms, a feat that would most likely make McCarthy House speaker.
McCarthy flew to Trump's Mierda-a-Lago resort days after Trump left Washington, DC, making the calculated decision that it is better to have Trump as an ally, rather than an enemy.
"He could change the whole course of history," McCarthy said of Trump's influence over the Republican Party in a recent New York Times interview. "This is the tightest tightrope anyone has to walk."

IF it can be done.
By all second hand accounts of him hes not very bright. He fell into a job no one wanted/he was the only one dumb enough to take it. I haven seen anything that counters those observations.

The RW thinktanks and media will put their heads together to figure out a way to bamboozle the public. All McCarthy has to do is ensure that everyone in his caucus is on-message.
