Be being caught lying through your teeth repeatedly would be disqualifying to be a leader of a political caucus on capitol hill. no longer. and kevin mccarthy, the latest, of course, shows again shows that he does one thing in private and then he criticizes big tech publicly, when he s even talking about the possibility banning certain people from twitter. well, he s going to have to have a conversation with his members about this. look, you know, i think that there are a couple of issues at play here, joe. one is that we re six months out from an election. kevin mccarthy has raised more money for house republicans than any republican leader in history. that includes the most recent past republican speakers of the house. and unlike decades ago, or even 20, 30 years ago, you don t have a lot of republicans that are going to be after mccarthy s job, in a very overt way.
