The Shame of Being Kevin McCarthy

January 8th, 2023

By Bob Gaydos
Kevin McCarthy is a leader held hostage to the whims of those who have no interest in governing. Truth has no purchase in today’s Republican Party. The rabble rule and “leaders” seek their approval out of sheer ego and cowardice.

They had told her to lie, that it would be OK, that she would be taken care of. Don’t worry.
She knew better. She knew she had to tell the truth. Somebody had to.
