Kevin McCarthy reportedly told Republicans in a phone call last year that TFG admitted being partial

partially responsible for the Capitol riot. Now McCarthy says he doesn't remember that call

In the days after January 6, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Republicans in a private phone call that then-President Donald Trump admitted he shares some responsibility for the Capitol riot, according to CNN.

But during a news conference on Thursday, McCarthy told reporters that he couldn't recall that phone conversation on January 11, 2021.

"I'm not sure what call you're talking about," McCarthy said.

CNN reported on the phone call at the time, and on Thursday the news outlet obtained a detailed readout of what McCarthy told his Republican colleagues.

that he thinks Putin pays Trump and Dana Rohrabacher.

Remember that? He says the truth but retracts it when it gets attention, as it cameras and microphones don’t exist. smh

Trump always at some point punches down on everyone around him (except Ivanka) just so they know who’s boss.

to go to a football game. Jr. comes out dressed in a football jersey and then Shitler brutally punches Jr. in the face, yelling at him to go put on a suit. My internet's wonky today or I'd post a link.
