McCarthy Let Down His Caucus By Allowing Greene's Lies To Go Unchecked | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
McCarthy: “QNon.. Qnonon.. I don’t even know”
Yeah McCarthy you know, we all know you know…
Hope northern California won’t vote for that guy again in the future.
Frugal Mom and Wife I DON’T BELIEVE McCARTHY HE’S A LIAR! I DON’T BELIEVE HE’S
THAT STUPID! WHEN YOU PLAY WITH WEALTHY PEOPLE LIKE trump YOU CAN BE SURE
HE WILL FIND SOME OF YOUR SECRETS & HOLD THEM OVER YOUR HEADS. MUST BE
SOME PRETTY BAD STUFF. DOESN’T MAKE SENSE ONLY 11 REPUBLICANS VOTED TO
GET RID OF GREENE
@Janet Chaplin : That’s why we should be writing to our representatives to DEMAND that they follow up, and STOMP McCarthy’s Helsinki style LIE! He can be Censured by the House, for failing to do his JOB! Even the general public has done a better background check on her than he has! He cannot POSSIBLY of not known about her Parkland and other denials! So, putting her on Education was TROLLING the victims’ families and all decent Americans! He should be PUNISHED!
YOUR PARTYS IDEA DUDE =
QOP
McCarthy doesn’t believe her lies. He just chose to lie in order to support that nut case.
She did what all liars do. Rearrange the words… never admit the truth.
Just like old Graham,,Cruz and the rest that bow down to A Puten wanna be.Right now I bet the ‘M Puten wanna be has a streight line to Russia.Just think that over.

She learned that from the Dems!!!
@Connie sue adams Adams What planet are you living on???
Greene has Trump’s ear therefore the GOP are afraid to hold her accountable. She raised money off this as well and tweeted throughout the process. She never apologized she blamed other people instead.
@Boris Wang for starters AOC was in her office in a different building at the time that was never breached.
@Eggplants aren’t Peaches wrong
@Ron Swanson “There is no equivalent of Marjorie Taylor Greene on the Democratic side.” –

No one as called for violence, anti-race, anti-gender and anti-democracy on the democratic side. Period. stop coming up with false equivalency.
Sounds just like Trump.No wonder Greene is in favour with the conman.
She is a carbon copy of Trump.
Obviously, the GOP is hard up for republicans.
I mean, look at who they’re defending.
McCarthyism: “She said she doesn’t believe Jewish space lasers started forest fires, but don’t forget, OBAMA WORE A TAN SUIT!!!!”
Kevin McCarthy should be Censured by the House? At the very least! He did not, “believe her,” any more than trump, “believed,” Putin at Helsinki! He failed to do his job! He put her on Education, of ALL THINGS! Was he Trolling thousands of grieving American families? Not to mention right minded Americans!?
…and the mustard, Sean Patrick ….oh my God the mustard!!!!!!!!!!
Tan suit-gate !
McCarthy (Q) needs to go next , Bye republican Trump supporters are all domestic terrorist, traitors to America, never forget officers murdered on jan6 capital attack
Sean Patrick..McCarthy is wearing some sick tan shoes in that latest pic with Trump.Obama’s perhaps??
McCarthy reminds me of Lindsey Graham,…bad apples in a barrel of stink.
Your “barrel of stink” comment has me wondering just what covert political financial shenanigans Robert and Rebekah Mercer are up to right about now.
Gtis that
https://youtu.be/P85afV3OgnA
oh yes
You are . Right.
Mccarthy has splinters from sitting on the fence.
Anyone who says Jewish space laser start california Fire should be in Mental Asylum not in Congress.
@Willy Bones yes, I don’t exist in that realm
@Big Ron I wish that we could say that about all of our elected officials. Greene is dangerous. People like her should not be in power.
@Willy Bones I don’t pretend to tell a district who they should send to Congress. Q-anon Qaren’s district may be having second thoughts. I’ve spent time in that area and found the people to be courteous and affable. Time will tell.
Ms. Greene is white privilege incarnate, with a crazy and ignorant assimilated patriarchal behavioral twist.
@Big Ron They chose poorly. Its already evident. Have a nice Day, Ron.
The man’s a fool. Bet he’s a terrible parent.
Lol dam
She’s right. Dude is making a huge decision and he didn’t check the facts. That’s crazy! Almost forgot we need to hold politicians accountable. They make decisions that impact millions of lives why are we treating them like primary kids?
McCarthy is attempting to do a Trump – only he’s out of luck. That time is gone. What a fuel. He has been seduced by the possibility of power and ambition, by his ego. Fool!
Trump may be gone but Trumpism isn’t. Qanon extremists are all around you, Lilly. The government is going to take drastic actions to keep you safe. There may be a downside but never mind that. You want to be safe don’t you?
Did you notice how big his head is and how much weight he gained? he looks just like Trump
As long as this q person is in the Republican Party, with any luck, they’ll never be taken seriously and Americans will never vote for lunatics. Only the loonies, probably.
Don’t underestimate the power of stupid people
Thank god she has gone. This gives the children in America and the victims of the shootings in school justice for today.

“which is humiliating” : that’s a Democrat point of view, ReTRUMPliCLANs cannot be humiliated, they lack a conscience and morality
I agree, BUT that’s a dehumanizing statement, which in itself lacks conscience and morality, or at least self-awareness… please don’t take this with animosity, I don’t debate other leftists, if you think I am wrong, ok, I am wrong, sorry.
In McCarthy’s defense, he was after all, Jedi-Mind-Tricked. The Force didn’t need to be very strong in Marjie Taylor Greene, being that McCarthy isn’t really that bright.
🤣‼️
Does anyone really believe McCarthy was duped by this woman? It is more likely he thought he would benefit from her followers, just as he thought/thinks he will benefit from Trump’s followers.
In the same way that, if he actually doesn’t know what QAnon is, he is not qualified to hold his position.
Like, really? Your own House was attacked, and you didn’t look into the prevailing beliefs of those who attacked it? That’s an abdication of responsibility on a dramatic scale.
Goodness, McCarthy epitomizes weakness. He’s just a watered down Trump.
Watch his interview with 60 Minutes. He got angry with Scott Pelli for changing Trump’s words to make it seem criminal. Upon learning that they were indeed Trump’s words verbatim McCarthy then decided there was nothing wrong with them.
@Adam Smasher well I gotta see that
He did not believe her,he was looking for an excuse not to annoy trump
Linda Lovatt , and hoping someone else would do his work for him
Linda Lovatt , and hoping someone else would do his work for him
Linda Lovatt , and hoping someone else would do his work for him
He wouldn’t now he’s got his nose so far up Trumps but. STILL
It’s not that he believed her, but that he accepted her lies, knowingly.
Like Mike Pence, McCarthy is a slithery, ambitious political animal. Also like Pence, a very situationally malleable and craven one… that is to say, an unauthentic shape-shifter.
