House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) appeared on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show on Thursday, where he recited baseless claims about fraudulent voting and parroted President Donald Trump's false claim that Trump won the 2020 election
"President Trump won this election, so everyone who's listening, do not be quiet,"
"We cannot allow this to happen before our very eyes." www.mediaite.com/...
Folks, this is not normal and should not be allowed to go unchallenged and uncorrected — even in these hyper-partisan times. Although some news organizations have now called the election for Biden, a day after McCarthy’s shamefully absurd and reckless claim, no presidential winner has been officially declared.
McCarthy’s reckless disregard for truth cannot be allowed to stand. Kevin McCarthy should be compelled by his Republican peers to retract his baseless claims of fraud and premature result favoring Trump and apologize to the American people for his recklessness — or he should resign his leadership position and his seat in congress. McCarthy has violated his oath of office and he must be held accountable.
Members of the congressional leadership cannot go on television and spout lies about the results of a presidential election, attempt to undermine the democratic process and foment unrest.
The election will be over when all the votes are counted and the results are reported and that process is not aided in any way by Trump supporters making noise.
