House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is denying statement attributed to him in a forthcoming book about President Trump in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
According to reporting from The Hill newspaper, McCarthy is calling the reporting in the upcoming book “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden and the Battle for America’s Future” by New York Times reporters Alex Burns and Jonathan Martin “totally false.”
“What he did is unacceptable. Nobody can defend that and nobody should defend it,” McCarthy told fellow members of House leadership about Trump four days after the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, according to a report of the book published Thursday in the Times.
The report also states McCarthy said he planned to tell Trump, whom critics say incited the riot, about the House impeachment vote: “I think this will pass, and it would be my recommendation you should resign.”
“The New York Times’ reporting on me is totally false and wrong,” the California Republican said Thursday morning in response. “It comes as no surprise that the corporate media is obsessed with doing everything it can to further a liberal agenda.
NY Times lies about everything.
As much as I’m not a fan of McCarthy I trust NYT less.
McCarthy is a snake in the grass. Those rinos sooner or later let their masks slip. When some body shows you who they are believe them.
Cancel my comment.
TGP has an article with audio recording of McCarthy talking to Cheney.
I guess NYT is like a blind squirrel who occasionally finds a nut.
If he doesn’t sue for libel (or whatever) than he probably said it.
He isn’t as corrupt as the NYT, but it isn’t for lack of effort.

C’mon, Petey, that’d be a whisper in a missile silo.
No way you’d ever know.

Does anyone really care about WTF a reporter from the NYT says?
Jim Jordon for speaker of the house after November.
All the outlets have it. McCarthy on tape declaring he would ask Trump to resign after 1/6 breach.

Beachmom, your first comment still stands; The NYT dies lie about almost everything, and when they’re not lying, it’s only do limited hangouts for a Dem in trouble, or to take down a Republican and sow discord among them.
The strange thing is that they know the drubbing that Dems are going to get in November, and you’d think they’d do their best to shore up the pliable, Uniparty GOPer who is in line to lead the new majority. I teckon a big fight over leadership is their main goal. Hence those “leaked” tapes.
I believe he said it. Even mitch the bitch McConnell is on record as saying “let ’em impeach him and take care of the son of a bitch for us”. I paraphrase. Then when Trump is acquitted McConnell says he won’t vote to impeach because he doesn’t want to lose his position of power. What a low down dirty slimy so and so.
Bitch McConnell is owned by the CCP and his wife
Bullshit… There is no way that McCarthy and McConnell were not in on the 1/6 setup of Trump supporters at the Capital. Hell, they probably thought it up.
Truth be told, it’s gettin crowded under the bus, come on man move over, I”m too close to the wheels.
Stereotypical swamp rat.
FOR THE UMPTGENTH TIME! Kev, like mitch, is a BUSH REPUBLICAN! Bush Republicans have no honor; so they lie with ease. Kev’s biggest lie the last 12 months was when he said any Ronny haters joining the Conservative Inquisition would be kicked out. 11 months ago. 10 months ago 2 Ronny haters joined the Inquisition. Both are still listed as GOP! Ronny hater names: Adam, Liz!
Kev is a lefty liar!
tim
IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! WERE THE NYT not right Kev would have filed a SLANDER SUIT YESTERDAY! Ronny hater kev is a bigger liar than NYT!
Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit. Who would have ever guessed.
Apparently Kev wants us to believe that there is ‘Honor Republican among Thieves’!
I’m not only a member of the Never-Trump RINO Club, I’m the president. Yeah, that’s it.
McCarthy is a slimly scumbag!
Doesn’t matter kevvie; we don’t like your RINO ass anyway.
Someone should tell the RINO POS that there is an audio tape proving it.
House Minority Leader McCarthy’s true colors (Betrayal) are so bright that even the NYT saw the reflection.
Another Boehner/Ryan liberal assed republican.
No more false GOP leaders of the establishment swamp !
