New audio of McCarthy claiming that Trump agreed that he has some responsibility for January 6th

“Your Honor, we offer Exhibit 'A' into evidence.”

New audio just played on CNN from that GOP leadership call on Jan. 11 2021:

Kevin McCarthy says Trump "bears responsibility for his words and actions" related to Jan. 6.

McCarthy then follows up: Trump "told me he does have some responsibility for what happened."

CNN just broadcast new audio of McCarthy unambiguously blaming Trump for the January 6 attack during a House Republican Conference call on January 11, 2021. In the audio, McCarthy also claims Trump acknowledged to him that he bears responsibility for January 6.

Happy 4/20, y'all.

“This lovely young Parisian woman is enjoying a serene moment in her lush garden in the 1910s in France. Her companions are her fluffy faithful feline and her caged bird. Keeping songbirds as pets is a hobby as old as the ancient Sumerians, but small home aviaries became a status symbol in the 1800s and early 1900s. Likely, this young lady enjoyed the company of her birds as a way to connect with nature. Interestingly, her garden contains several cannabis plants. It could be that the unique leaves and vibrant foliage was sought after as a garden plant. Or it could be that the young woman or her family were utilizing the medicinal properties of the cannabis plant to treat any one of a number of ailments.”⁣

PELOSI: "The country needs a strong Republican Party, not one that has been hijacked as a cult."

What happened: Speaker Nancy Pelosi implored young Republicans to "take back your party" during a wide-ranging conversation with former Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) on Monday evening in Berkeley, Calif.

"Take back your party. The country needs a strong Republican Party, not one that has been hijacked as a cult. We really need that."

— Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Her other takeaway: Without naming him, she acknowledged former President Donald Trump's "very authoritarian" approach has been partially effective: "They’ve had some level of success of undermining the collective conscience of our country that we all agree certain things are right."
