GOP Strategist Says Kevin McCarthy 'Scared of the Facts' on 1/6 After He Threatens Telcos

A Republican strategist criticized House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy for threatening telecommunications companies that comply with records requests from the House select committee investigating the Capitol attack, arguing that the GOP leader is "trying to bury" the facts.

"I think the threats are basically grandstanding, especially for an audience of one, meaning the former president. We all know that Kevin McCarthy basically does what the former president wants him to do—in this case, it's go after Big Tech like Donald Trump did when he was president," the strategist, Susan Del Percio, said on MSNBC Sunday.

"This is all about operating from fear," she said later in the interview.

"They are trying to delay this as long as possible because eventually, I think the truth will come out. But Kevin McCarthy is scared of the facts and that's why he's trying to bury them."
