Kevin McCarthy quietly gets away with holding Republicans to a lower standard than Donald Trump
Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Paul Gosar or Arizona will not be punished for their participation in a white nationalist conference, according to House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy.
The California Republican called the recent conference "appalling" and said his members' role in the event was unacceptable, yet insisted that the two shall face no consequences. Instead, McCarthy said he spoke with Greene and got her word that she would not attend the conference again in the future. As of Wednesday, McCarthy said he has yet to speak with Gosar.
The America First Political Action Conference was organized by prominent white nationalist Nick Fuentes, who said America had forgotten "young, white men." Greene spoke at the conference last month, while Gosar spoke in a prerecorded video for the event and also gave the keynote speech at last year's conference.
"There's no place for what has gone on with that organization," McCarthy said Wednesday. "There never will be in this party. It will never be tolerated."
