Warren calls McCarthy a 'liar' and 'traitor' over Jan 6 tape

Sadly, about 90% of the GOP needs to be voted out.

They stopped performing their duty to the voters when they didn't hold the ex-Prez accountable for all his lies the first week he was in office. MM should have lead the anti-Trump GOP fight to get him removed. Every GOP member that didn't call Trump a liar did a disservice to the United States. They need to go and never hold any public office, including town librarian, again.

It will be tough to not vote GOP for many of us, but voters' rights, playing fair and telling the truth are core family values to me. The GOP has lost their ability to be the party of 'ideas'. So very sad.

Trump and McCarthy had a strained relationship after the Capitol attack, but made amends after the GOP leader flew to the former president’s resort in Florida to smooth things over.

Echoes of so many others in the GOP, Vance, Cruz, Rubio et al, who blasted Trump then moved to kiss his ring.

What ever happened to the GOP that hated "waffling" and proclaimed itself a bedrock of moral certainty and criticized the other side as engaging in moral relativism and situational ethics?

I could care less what Warren thinks. However, I've always been concerned about Kevin McCarthy. He says the right things about what he'd do as Speaker. But, the last thing we need is another John Boehner or Paul Ryan. If his actions don't match his words, there would be a massive backlash from the base of the party.

“Kevin McCarthy is a liar and a traitor,” she told CNN's “State of the Union.”

Indeed he is....but he's really just another Repub spineless coward....a phrase than can encapsulate most of the party's far-right nuts....

After "growing a pair" after Jan 6th, he then went "limp" again a few days later...

The only Repubs left with a real pair are Romney, Kitzinger, and Liz Cheney...

Reagan would look at all the rest in disgust....

Why would they not? The man is the most popular Republican non-establishment politician to lead the party, he destroyed 17 lifelong careers born and bread Republicans, and the reason for the support is, the man is a businessman first, values the constitution, and wants to destroy the establishment, so either they join with Trump and win a majority or they can break from Trump and never win another election. The only other conservative that would come close to getting the same support would be DeSantis.

They're trying to get back in power.

I agree.

and wants to destroy the establishment

Keep hearing that from Trump supporters but he had 4 years to do that. All he did was bring in a revolving door of officials who were unqualified for their positions.

4 years to drain the swamp, 4 years to build the wall, 4 years to bring in the biggest,best, most beautiful health care plan..

Because he most certainly IS a liar and a traitor. But that's a trait required for the GOP and supporters these days, not a bad thing for them. In fact, if you're NOT a traitor to your country, they consider that treasonous.

Yes and No, and when you have the establishment trying to take you down then there is little that any President can do

Well, all the officials in this current admin are supposedly qualified for their positions or so we are led to believe and look at the damage they done to the nation.

4 years to drain the swamp, 4 years to build the wall,

Not when you have the establishment against you and that is the reason why you are seeing more non-establishment people getting into politics because if you really want to drain the swamp can't do it with career politicians.

4 years to bring in the biggest,best, most beautiful health care plan..

Well. I am somewhat glad they failed on that one.

Because he most certainly IS a liar and a traitor.

Not at all, but if you want to know what a real traitor looks like talk to Adam Schiff and Nadler

But that's a trait required for the GOP and supporters these days,

Hmmm...kind of insulting as a conservative No politician has the right to tell me how and to whom to vote for. Both sides have failed the American people and Trump changed that and that is the reason why you are seeing more and more people siding with the man and a very large segment doesn't like where the Dems have taken this country. Every single poll is showing this and the people are tired and they are tired of the Democrats destroying this nation and they want a change and it's not like the Republicans are fantastic, they just won't radicalize for a complete overhaul of this nation and destroying its culture, way of life and its very foundation and the principles of what the country was founded on.

not a bad thing for them. In fact, if you're NOT a traitor to your country, they consider that treasonous.

Yeah, yeah, to liberals everything is treasonous from eating meat to objecting to CRT makes you a traitor and you should be locked up forever. Lol

Warren calls McCarthy a "liar" and a "traitor".

She forgot to say "spineless worm".

The snail's pace speed of justice seen to be done in America which is keeping oath-breaking GOP politicians, like the wannabe Speaker of the House and his ilk who have brazenly betrayed the constitution, out of the courts and jail may be explained by the constitutional obsequiousness and fawning deference to the occupant of the Oval Office, whoever they may be and whatever crimes they are guilty of. The foot-dragging to call even a minor accomplice like McCarthy to account mirrors the reluctance even to speak aloud the $64,000 question: why has the master he is still covering for not yet been summoned to testify not just concerning the January 6 conspiracy to thwart the peaceful transfer of power to the winner of the 2020 election, but for ALL his alleged crimes and misdemeanors in the public record?

Well, can’t argue that point.

Warren was a law professor at Harvard..

Ok and?

Mighty peculiar when self-professed members of traditionally disenfranchised minority groups often pop up to attack other minorities on a topic

She’s not a minority.

That rumor of her ancestry has been debunked so many times and the Sioux nation rejected her claims and asked her to stop claiming that she is Native American.

So well she is right in her statements about Kevin McCarthy, she should be careful about her accusations, she’s very silent on her claims when it comes to trying to portray herself as something that she’s not, you don’t hear her talking about that these days anymore and for good reason.

Yes, I agree. People should not exaggerate their own profile, whether that relates to ethnicity or work experience (being a WaPo journalist and Fortune 500 CEO, for example). Nonetheless, McCarthy’s lie has a far greater impact on American democracy than whether some poster on JT claims to have been a combat correspondent in Iraq.

The US Congress and Senate need to clean out their Augean Stables of GOP traitors, insurrectionists, oath-breakers, violators of the Constitution and sundry criminals. No mercy should be shown them: they must be investigated, charged, tried and jailed and barred from holding any public office. The future of the republic depends on firm action from the DOJ to serve justice with full accountability for the host of rotten, rogue politicians before the clock runs out.

Anyone who has lived in Mr. McCarthy's congressional district knows he is an insincere liar. He is only interested in maintaining or increasing his political power in Washington DC. He cares very little about his district unless there is a matter that he perceives will enhance his stature in the Capital. When he does have meetings at communities in his district they are not open to the general public, only invited guests may attend and the police are there to run off anyone who shows up uninvited. He is just a tool of the Abernathy political machine in the San Joaquin Valley. Find out what Western Pacific Research is and who Mark Abernathy was. He died but his wife still runs his political machine. That is who he owes his allegiance to. Not his constituents.

I would disagree with the Senator regarding Mr. McCarthy being a traitor. Read Article III, Section 3 of the US Constitution. Treason is the one and only crime defined by the Constitution and for good reason. Treason is defined in a very narrow way precisely to prevent political opponents from being jailed as somehow being traitors as the British and other European monarchies did when the US Constitution was written (and too many nations continue to do today). Here is the very narrow definition of treason in the US Constitution.

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted."

 Nobody alive today has a lower opinion of Kevin McCarthy than I do but his worst crimes to not fit the definition of treason as it is defined in American law. I do not even think the best prosecutor could make a charge of insurrection stick much less be able to prove a charge of treason to a jury. As a former law professor she should know better.

Nonetheless, McCarthy’s lie has a far greater impact on American democracy

Now if only you would be that consistent with the lies that come out of this administration daily we can all move forward. Looking at every poll, national, liberal, conservative and independent this administration gets a failing F-grade when it comes to truth and transparency. This is why the left are losing badly

than whether some poster on JT claims to have been a combat correspondent in Iraq.

No claims whatsoever.
