House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy suggested that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been withholding the articles of impeachment to prevent Sen. Bernie Sanders and other White House hopefuls in the Senate from campaigning during the upcoming trial, The Hill reports.

Said McCarthy: “If there’s anyone who gained from this, it would be anybody who’s running for president that’s not in the U.S. Senate.”

McCarthy went on to say that Bernie Sanders “actually has a chance to win but not now that Nancy Pelosi has held these documents.”

I have to say this is stupid even by the very low standards of Kevin McCarthy

1. That guy is a bit dim.

His opinion means very little to me.

[Bummfuzzle]

2. He would of won, but not now. All before anything has happened.

Quite a pat excuse before anything has even started.

[TwilightZone]

3. Politico published similar sentiments a few days ago.

4. Oh geez. Now it's Nancy's fault.

What babies.

[LonePirate]

5. Ask yourself why McCarthy is trying to stir up trouble between Sanders and Pelosi (and Dems)

The answer to that question is all you need to know about this situation.

[comradebillyboy]

9. It's pretty obvious but I don't think it will work.

I don't quite understand how a dim bulb like McCarty managed to get to be House Minority Leader. Surely the Pukes have someone more competent.

[LonePirate]

36. A dim bulb would seem like a great leader to the other bulbs which are burnt out.

Keep in mind McCarthy has people like Jordan, Gaetz, Gohmert and so many others in his caucus who are intellectually indistinguishable from corpses.

[Iliyah]

6. What about Liz and Amy?

They are senators too while running to become the Democratic nominee . . .

[RandiFan1290]

7. Who cares?

why post his bullshit here?

[comradebillyboy]

12. Mostly for comic relief.

[RandiFan1290]

13. Cool story, bro.

[Cha]

30. Cool story.. Not.

[Cha]

29. I'm Glad he did.. I want to know what's going on..

If it's ok with you, randi.. or Not.

33. krystal ball saying the same stupid thing..

8. The dnc announced it would move any debate impacted by the trial....

They did that after impeachment in the house.

It makes zero sense, but mcarthy is a shit stirrer. It's his job.

Don't post anything he has to say about our primary or candidates.

[Thomas Hurt]

10. Everyone knows McCarthy doesn't have either Pelosi's or Sanders' interests at heart.

Why did you even open your fat yap.

[redstatebluegirl]

11. Expect more of this. The GOP want Bernie, he will be the easiest one to beat.

They know they can paint him as a socialist as well as all of the new House members to get a two for one deal. I have said this before, the ads write themselves and they will work. They hate Pelosi, so if they can hurt her at the same time they will. Elevate Bernie and hurt Pelosi a win win for them.

We need to stay really vigilant, this is going to be their way of operating from here on in. I will always support my parties nominee, I just hope it is BS.

[Mr.Bill]

17. They won't call him a Socialist,

they'll go straight to Communist. Their base doesn't know the definition of either, so it won't matter. Communist sounds worse, though.

14. Poor Kevi tryna run a psyop and failing badly.

15. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is a lying sack.

On any given day, I would trust Nancy Pelosi, or any other Democrat, over what McCarthy said.

[LiberalFighter]

16. So McCarthy is desperate for Sanders to win the nomination?

Who would had thought? Ha Ha

He only mentions Sanders by name when Elizabeth Warren is also a major contender.

If McCarthy is that concerned about it he should ask Moscow Mitch to schedule the trial after the Iowa caucuses.

[dewsgirl]

18. I look forward to the many photos, Lev Parnas undoubtedly has of

the two of them.

[comradebillyboy]

20. Lev sure did get around didn't he? He has pictures with

just about every important right wing figure.

[dewsgirl]

23. He sure did and he documented everything. I seriously

question their judgement in taking the photos in the first place. I know if I ever do anything wrong or illegal, I for damn sure won't be documenting it with photos and I'm not a high profile individual.

[vsrazdem]

19. Oh Kevin, just go away.

[comradebillyboy]

21. Excellent suggestion

[awesomerwb1]

22. Question is why are republicans

trying to help Bernie?

Are they so sure other candidates can beat Dump but not Bernie?

[highplainsdem]

24. I think that's obvious. They're afraid of Biden.

[comradebillyboy]

25. McCarthy is more interested in hurting Pelosi than helping Bernie.

[awesomerwb1]

27. Why would McCarthy need to even mention

Bernie to attack her? No need.

[comradebillyboy]

31. He's stirring the pot and attempting to be divisive. He wants to

generate animosity among Democratic voters.

[SaschaHM]

34. They know that they're going to pick up some voters when he loses.

That or they'll be able to steer enough elsewhere to win by small margins.

[MineralMan]

26. Anything McCarthy says is loaded with irony.

Ignore him.

[Cha]

28. lololololol.. mcarthy and krystal ball had

the same idea..

I have to say this is stupid even by the very low standards of Kevin McCarthy

people like him know no depths.

[Ninga]

38. What's wrong with Krystal?

[George II]

32. Tell that punch bowl turd that McConnell is scheduling the "trial", not Pelosi.

[Tiggeroshii]

35. That makes absolutely no sense any way you stack it.

[Ninga]

37. McCarthy wants to seeDems in a food fight - this time pitting Pelosi v Sanders.

Desperate desperate desperate GOPers

[dlk]

39. McCarthy is a Republican

Until his party cleans up its very dirty act, Kev should stay in his own lane.

[rurallib]

40. Charlie McCarthy has more credibility than Kevin

and he was a real dummy

[Gothmog]

41. McCarthy and trump have the best interest of the Democratic Party in mind

trump and McCarthy would love to have a weak candidate like sanders as the nominee

Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign manager is warning that Democrats would struggle in a general election against Donald Trump if Bernie Sanders is the nominee.

In an interview with POLITICO, Jim Messina predicted that Trump would exploit Sanders’ stamp of socialism in battleground states needed to defeat Trump, keep control of the House and have a shot at winning the Senate.

“If I were a campaign manager for Donald Trump and I look at the field, I would very much want to run against Bernie Sanders,” Messina said. “I think the contrast is the best. He can say, ‘I’m a business guy, the economy’s good and this guy’s a socialist.’ I think that contrast for Trump is likely one that he’d be excited about in a way that he wouldn’t be as excited about Biden or potentially Mayor Pete or some of the more Midwestern moderate candidates.”....

“From a general election perspective, socialism is not going to be what Democrats are going to want to defend,” Messina added.“If you’re the Democratic nominee for the Montana Senate race, you don’t want to spend the election talking about socialism.”

Messina is the latest Democrat to raise concerns about Sanders at the top of the ticket. Endangered House Democrats are coalescing around Biden because of concerns that Sanders or Elizabeth Warren could threaten their reelection hopes, POLITICO reported Saturday.

43. Reminds Me of Trump Saying That Democrats Are Unfair to Bernie

You have to wonder why Republicans and Russians seem to be defending Bernie.
