Is Mark Meadows running the House Republican caucus?

Where is the sad tool, Kevin McCarthy, on this pronouncement? Does he agree? McCarthy is the perfect useless Trump clown for this time. A guy who knew Putin was paying Trump in 2015, but obviously is drinking the Trump Koolaid today.

Is there a news report out about Meadows?

McCarthy is too stupid to do anything on his own anyway.

If the Republicans take the house next year (shudder), I doubt ol' Kev will be Speaker.

I don't think he would actively do the job on a day-to-day basis, but he will be third in line to the presidency. He probably thinks he will be able to issue executive orders.
