Opinion Kevin McCarthy’s desperate plea to MAGA reveals a glaring GOP failure

[onthedarkside]

 

Donald Trump has long possessed a singular talent for humiliating “my Kevin,” as Trump calls House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and now he has done it again. Late Sunday, McCarthy told reporters that Trump supporters should not “protest” if Trump is indicted, as expected.

 

The California Republican added: “I think President Trump, if you talk to him, he doesn’t believe that, either.”

 

Someone should tell that to “President Trump,” a few hours after McCarthy issued his plea, Trump unleashed a tirade on Truth Social that effectively cast any indictment as a war on MAGA nation waged by the “RADICAL LEFT” and the “COMMUNISTS, MARXISTS, RINOS AND LOSERS.” This functionally reiterated his previous call for civil unrest.

NYC bracing for unrest after Trump calls for protests over possible arrest, indictment

“We will use all of our available resources,” one NYPD source said Sunday, noting that the department’s Strategic Response Group — which responds to civil unrest and major events — “has a role in this agency and when needed they will be called in.”

Officials from several agencies met on Sunday and are expected to confer again on Monday, according to sources.

Well, the MAGA crowd doesn't really have a history of peaceful protest now, do they?

The "opinions" of this clod seem to be all rather single-minded. Look at the menu.

Like Jan 6th? Or how do his followers understand that word?
