Kinzinger slams McCarthy over GOP agenda rollout: 'An opportunity squandered'
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) slammed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Friday over his “Commitment to America” plan, saying that it was “an opportunity squandered” by his choice to “bow” to the “MAGA” wing of the GOP for his political gain.
“Kevin McCarthy, who is supposed to be the leader of the Republican Party, is instead being led by a conspiracy theorist masquerading as a member of Congress,” Kinzinger said in a video posted on his Twitter page, referencing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), with whom McCarthy introduced the plan.
McCarthy unveiled the plan outlining Republicans’ top initiatives Thursday as they attempt to regain the majority in both houses of Congress in the upcoming November elections. The four pillars of the plan are an “economy that’s strong,” a “nation that’s safe,” a “future based on freedom” and a “government that’s accountable.”
Kinzinger said McCarthy is “outright supporting” the conspiracy theories that pose a threat to American democracy.
