House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said on the House floor moments ago that President Trump bears partial responsibility for the Jan. 6 Capitol building riot.
Business Insider reported McCarthy allegedly snapped during a phone call with the president on Monday after Trump stated that disguised Antifa members were solely responsible for the attack despite the arrests and deaths of pro-Trump participants. “It’s not Antifa — it’s MAGA,” McCarthy said, according to Axios, adding, “I know. I was there.”
Kevin McCarthy says the president bears responsibility for the attack on the Capitol.

While McCarthy expressed his frustration, he continues to advocate against impeachment.
Axios further reports on the occasionally combative 30-minute call between Trump and McCarthy on Monday:
The White House official said the call was tense and aggressive at times, with Trump ranting about election fraud and an exasperated McCarthy cutting in to say, “Stop it. It’s over. The election is over.”
He told Trump he should call Joe Biden, meet with the president-elect and follow tradition and leave a welcome letter in the Resolute Desk for his successor.
The president told him he hadn’t decided whether to do so for Biden.
A White House spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Amid the ongoing impeachment debate, President Trump released another statement denouncing all forms of political violence.
TRUMP statement: “In light of reports of more demonstrations, I urge that there must be NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO vandalism of any kind. That is not what I stand for, and it is not what America stands for. I call on ALL Americans to help ease tensions and calm tempers.” pic.twitter.com/rGfNdXqCvR

It was stolon. I know people can gain a chunk of votes. but not lose a chunk of votes. I was watching the Georgia runoff. The tape running across the bottom or the screen television on the night of the runoff. All of a sudden Mr Perdue LOST 32,400 votes.
Of course. But then he is just another RINO, so probably doesn’t matter.
I watched that too. Thought it was odd when over 95 % or so of the votes were in! Same machines, same nonsense. In fact those machines had problems earlier in the day with about 3 Republican counties, mind you, no Democrat counties! Very little news about it, of course!
I can’t stand the Democrats in congress…..but I overwhelmingly detest the Republicans even more who roll over to the Dems.
I can no longer stand a democrat as they are not the democrats of the old days !!!
This is perfectly said! IMO,!McCarthy, is just another RINO. Never ever trusted him since he was just another Paul Ryan pawn. Totally controlled by the same crowd of thugs that control the wimpy weasels like Lindsey Graham, McConnell, Mike Lee and Romney and the two witches.
Democrats are responsible for Antifa & BLM!! but I don’t see anyone charging democrats TREASON. Get real RHINO’s. You are working hand in hand with the democrats!
I am glad to see the Rinos come to surface so the people will know who NOT to elect at next election!
LOL! NEXT ELECTION???
THEY HAVE WRAPPED IT UP AND ANYONE ONE TO OPPOSE THEM WILL BE… well as we have seen.
BIDEN ADMIN ARE ALL COMING FROM LARGER THAN LARGE BIG SILICON VALLEY BIG TECH FAKEBOOK, AMAZON, GOOGLE!
PAY FOR PLAY GO THEM POSITIONED.
THIS WAS WELL PLANNED AND CALCULATIVE BY DESIGN!
Petition your state to remove dominion machines, film the count of votes, 4 sets of eyes on each count. Any intimidation of counters os observers immediate felony, min 5 yrs 10k fine.
Watch carefully and take notes! Too many swing with the tide and only when they want to be re-elected do they get some initiative and resourcefulness.
You mean, “elections” by Dominion? Bwaaahaaahaaa
I think there’s dirty stuff going on. This just looks like a big take over from a communist government. On the side of the Democratic National Party. I’m sorry that I feel like this it is what it is.
What McCarthy, and with the exception of a very few others, don’t understand is THEY and their bureaucracy and the direction THEY are pushing us…it has nothing to do with Trump…NOTHING…
True. Any election, not just Trumps’ election that may have had fraud or irregularities bears investigation. So, it is not about the man as much as it is the lack of investigation and integrity to carry out Constitutional law! Silencing, extreme censorship and judges that do not do their duty to even hear cases is against the American way. That did not happen and that is why the people are up in arms. It could have been any other man/woman running for office, it was all about correct and proper election rules and procedures that needed to be carried out legally. President Trump felt there were problems about the election and he had the right to speak out about it. Lord knows we heard enough inciteful rhetoric from the democrats and all liberals for 4 years after Trump won overwhelmingly in 2016 and the democrats have been shamelessly relentless in their pursuit to remove Trump from office. They are jealous, hated that he was an outsider of Washington DC elites and feared his popularity with the American people. Not all presidents do or say the correct things all the time, but it was evident that the majority of the Americans enjoyed the benefit of Trumps’ policies for 4 years. He brought back pride for the US and made America great again!
Trump sure did bring back some hope and pride for Our Country that Obama couldn’t even touch it in 8 yrs.,even with his own ppl.Trump did more for Obama’s ppl. than he did,that’s sad for him.IT MUST HAVE BEEN WHEN THEY WERE LOW,BECAUSE I NEVER SAW THE HIGH PART OF HIM.If I were Trump,I would try to get some backing and start my own Internet Co. My goodness he has 75-80 million ppl that voted for him and follows him.I pray that he does it to show them that they can’t shut us up,it would be for us to give a voice,also.
Dont worry. Just keep prayer in your heart and soul and believe in the President He won in a Landslide. Biden’s team cheated and we all know it was a massive International sting operation . Millions of fraudulent votes, not a handful but millions of fake Chinese ballots, plus thousands of Trump ballots destroyed or not counted . This entire Election was fraudulent anyway . And Biden is a wanted criminal So just trust in God and have faith in President Trump . Satan is trying to silence truth, but truth shall not be silenced
The Republican Party has weak self serving parasites. That We need to clean house of these snake in the grass back stabbing asses. I will make sure, that I use my money to elect real conservatives, nit the back staving scum, like McCarthy, Mitch and others. I will be keeping names of these traitors, to make sure I back candidates to run against them. Don’t worry President Trump, this your party, in which you had our back, known we have yours . Think about 2024. Yet, I will be looking initially at 2022, to elect true conservatives. Then this tine, we will know how deep the swamp is, and what we need to us really cleaned up the swamp .
Just received a request from McCarthy for financial support . I responded they don’t deserve support when they can’t seem to support members of there own party
Way to go…vote with your pocketbook and feet! I’m shutting down all the places I spend and not dinning with companies that don’t like ME!
Everyone else gets a pass? IE, governors, Arorneys General, The House, the Senate, the Speaker, mayors, MSM, and anyone else who gave a negative review or supported fraud.
YOU DAMN TURN COAT—— SO YOUR SHOWING YOUR TRUE COLORS AT LAST — GLAD I DIDN’T SEND YOU ANY MONEY .!
No Kevin McCarthy, President Trump IS NOT responsible for anything that happened on Wednesday, Jan 6th, including the terrorists attacks!!!! Our President has always, always promoted peace and peaceful protests. Please don’t be a fair weather friend of our President (like Lindsay Graham and a few others). We expect better of YOU. Fair weather friends cannot be trusted!!!
It’s to late for McCarthy – he just sprouted feathers. He’s a perfect example of ‘fair weather friends’. He now has a choice to make when he’s up for re-election: 1)Don’t run 2)Join the Democrats.
Swamp rats…ALL of them! These RINOS are worse than democrats…at least we know where democrats stand. The Republican Party is dead and they have nobody but the leadership to blame…bunch of effing cowards!!!
EXACTLY!!
I saw that, I saw that scumbag McCarthy turn his back on POTUS> He just showed his true color. I think ChYna payoffs are here.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is a ding-bat. The President was not responsible for the pre-planned incursion on the Capitol complex. McCarthy is a part of the swamp.
Biden deserves the most minimal courtesy possible to China Biden
There’s always dirty stuff going on when it comes to the demoncrats!! Congress drives me crazy 😵, it’s so obvious that the election was fixed. U have to be asleep if u don’t see it. Trump had lots of proof & evidence but all these judges have been bought off by the deep stank. Voting is just to please the people and make them think their vote matters. And this was not the 1st election that’s been rigged, it happens for every election!!!! I wish people would wake the hell up & stop watching the news & taking their words as gospel!!!! Look how quick Lefler switched up on Trump, it’s pathetic. But nothing’s more pathetic than Pence. If he was arrested after the “attack on the capitol” then why is he still the V. P.?? He’s useless. And I saw the video where the police escorted several shuttle buses of antifa members to the capitol and allowed them to cross the barriers into the capitol. HELLO PEOPLE??!!??!! That’s the deep stank doing that. It’s so aggravating 😫😠, I just wish Trump could be president again & all this unecessary nonsense would be brought to light. Not to mention what’s been revealed about John Roberts, DAM!!!!!!! 😱
As of today I am withdrawing my support for the republican party. I am 85 years old and have always been a republican. I cannot support a bunch of gutless people that are only looking out for themselves. President Trump and been the best president in my life time and has done so much to improve so many people’s lives. Maybe one day history will recognize the fraud that has been committed and what a sham this whole election has been.
McCarthy just wants to make sure he is on the Take of Chinas money . He is a No nothing Slime greedy politician Vote his ass out
UNLESS YOUR BLIND The Election was rigged no sane person would really vote for 47 years in offices Biden the GREED and his Son Sold America out
Swamp Critters are showing themselves, daily !
ONE BIRD TWO WINGS!! ONLY CONCERN THEY CARRY IS THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL STAYING IN POSITION AND CAREER! ESTABLISHMENT CAREER POLI’S!!
GOP IS DEAD!
DEM AND REPUB PARTIES ARE DEAD!
THEY WERE NEVER “FOR THE PEOPLE”!! So EASY to see now. and we HAD to see it!
It took them ALL 16 plus years to rig and stack and they have accomplished their takeover!
POWERS ‘N’ PRINCIPALITIES
and
*******SOULESS*******
When the Republicans win back the house in 2022, and McCarthy becomes Speaker of the House, I hope he doesn’t turn into another Paul Ryan.
Great comparison –
God forbid if one of Trump’s sons did what bidens son did & still does, the demoncrats would go ballistic!!!! But they are gonna allow him into the white house?? Doesn’t make sense!! If everybody was able to state their opinion to biden or band together in a positive way with ABSOLUTELY NO VIOLENCE, because that doesn’t allow ur point to be heard, we outnumber them. This whole entire system from top to bottom needs to be changed. And we need to get rid of the politicians and put everyday people in those positions. And most of those positions are absolutely unnecessary!! Waste of money!!!!!
The demonRATs don’t care about corruption, they are over their heads in the deepest corruption that has ever existed, as they accuse Trump and conservatives of what they are guilty of.
It’s all about ABSOLUTE power and ABSOLUTE control over our citizens and over our paychecks. They are drunk on absolute power and absolute control and greed, and you can see their insanity on their faces and their body language. They are stone cold lunatic fringe INSANE.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
the only way he had anything to do with it is that people love him and will protect him at all cost
President Trump had absolutely nothing to do with it, and the demonRATs KNOW IT! They had this planned, they paid Antifa and BLM to infiltrate and to do what they do best, and you can see the video’s of them at work, it is exactly what they did all summer long in their riots, breaking into businesses and destroying. They dressed like Trump supporters, infiltrated the peaceful citizens, therefore, giving Pelosi her opportunity to destroy our President. It was ALL planned, orchestrated, just like ALL the riots that Antifa and BLM did in 2020. They ARE the arrows in Pelosi’s quiver.
Saying the president was wrong, if he was, does not automatically make him responsible. Under federal law “to incite a riot” means “to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot.” The crime, which is a felony but shall not be deemed to mean the mere oral or written (1) advocacy of ideas or (2) expression of belief, not involving advocacy of any act or acts of violence or assertion of the rightness of, or the right to commit, any such act or acts.”
What has happened is they have swallowed the Democrat and media propaganda to save their own jobs. Here is the whole statement from Trump that not one single person or media will use as they edit the full content “we’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. And we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness, you have to show strength, and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing, and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated — lawfully slated. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your votes heard today.” There is no incitement or order for any violence.
Under the Supreme Court’s First Amendment precedents, inflammatory speech can be punished only in narrowly defined circumstances that go beyond what happened on Wednesday. Under federal law, incitement to riot does not include “advocacy of ideas” or “expression of belief” unless it specifically endorses violence, which Trump did not do. Compare that to the voice of Maxine Waters advocated, “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
The RATs are surfacing, coming out of their communist closets, from under their slimy rocks, from the beneath the dirty cracks and crevasses, from the sewers where they have been hiding. They are now emboldened and are no longer afraid to show who they are and what they are, because they have won the communist prize. We are now able to see who they are, where they have been, what they are doing, to see their infiltration into the republican party to destroy it, and see their true evil.
Because they are all now gathering to gang up to finish their destruction of our country, and to celebrate their treason. We now know what is wrong with why our bridges have not been repaired, why our economy was wrecked, why our tax dollars were not used for OUR citizens and OUR country, why they perpetuated all those wars, why they hate President Trump so much, and why they smear, slander, character assassinate those who try to work for our country instead of our enemies. Those who work for our country are hated because that interferes with them padding their bank accounts with our tax dollars, and with foreign money to our enemies for our top secrets. We are now seeing who is the swamp, and why it was so hard to expose, because we can now see that it traverses BOTH parties. EUREKA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those who have not cared about what these traitors are up to, and have been doing to us and OUR country for a LONG TIME, continue to sit back on your couch and watch in REAL TIME as your country is handed over to the communist UN and China. As our borders are flooded with our enemies who want us dead and who want what we have. And, as these devils take your arms and allow terrorists to invade us while we sit, unarmed, in our homes as their sitting ducks, and if you dare try to even defend yourself with as much as a ball bat, YOU will be the one charged with violence against their pet invaders.
And, if you still don’t care, and are still not able to “discern” why we are divided and why we are at each other’s throats, it is because of the devils in the democrat party are telling you what to think, what to do, and how to obey them as they spin their lies and propaganda like loyal communists to make fools of you as they USE the hate that they have instilled inside you to destroy your country FOR them because they could not have done this without YOU, US, the 320 million citizens who out numbers them! Listen up, and watch, the devils inside our hallowed halls are just getting started. You ain’t seen nothing yet!
These traitors taste, see, and smell the blood in the water of “country’s loving patriots”, of “God loving Christians”, and of “people who love family and want freedom and justice and OUR American way of life”. If you are one of these people you will not survive. They are coming after you, coming after your paychecks, coming after your land, coming after your freedoms, after your liberties, and coming after your children.
Time has run out, we missed the crossroads to stop them. God sent us President Trump, the only man on the planet who had the guts and the honor to stand up to them, and he was all by himself in that snake pit. Now, God help us, we are about to find out what it looks like for a super power to hit the rock bottom dust bin of communism. If you are a praying person, pray for the safety of yourself and for your innocent children, because they will take your children and make them what they want to make of them….and that has already been happening for decades and we had no clue.
They are now ganging up to bully, hundreds against ONE, as they WEAPONIZE the nations highest offices against one person who tried to save our country from communism.
The normal citizens who are helping these demonRATs have no clue that they will be joining the ranks of the rest of us.
Another scumbag turncoat. What goes around comes around!
I always admired Mcarthy but now that he joined the swamp dwellers I have lost faith
The swamp gets bigger and deeper every day
McCarthy better switch parties.
Way to go Kevin. Traitor! We wont forget.
McCarthy you are totally wrong! This is the work of the dark side and the dark side alone, ya better get your schitt together!
Turncoats are showing their “True Colors”Itb is saddening that a president that has done so much for America, not withstanding accepting “No Pay” has so many people scared that he might run again and screw up their “Cash Cows”
The mayor of the city said that Antifa was going to infiltrate the protestors so they will harder to be identified and that is what they did. They were the ones who did the damage and the killings.
Ryan #2. No more GOP. GONE FOREVER.
Your partly responsible for the divide among the Republican Party. The President was crystal clear about marching peacefully . The protesters just had a national election stolen, has seen. Violent Antifa and BLM create loss of life and billions in property damage in cities across the country for several months with impunity, even a fund by Harris to bail them free from jail so they could resume their illegal activities, The Left used every disgusting tactic for four years to remove a duly elected President at the expense of taxpayers. We seen Left’cs corruption with the Biden’s swept under the rug. We have seen all of the Hillary corruption ignored, We can only be pushed so far then we fight. There is more to come unfortunately..
Astounding to me that people in D.C. don’t know what the truth is! They scream, “no socialism here!”, but fall lockstep in line with perpetuating lies.. Are they ALL being blackmailed to act like that? They lie, cheat, and steal; everyone including themselves know it, then they deny it, and you’re supposed to believe them? C’mon Man!
It’s an open secret now that antifa were the instigators of the riots. Several independent witnesses have identified the time line. Anita was actually at the Capitol doing their damage before the President finished speaking. The MAGA group apparently walked thru already open doors. But for political correctness’ sake, the “ever reliable” FBI are conducting “equal opportunity” arrests. So good of them to do so.
You are full of hot air McCarthy ! President Trump did not want that riot. You on the other hand, is showing me, you are going against the wishes of the people and doing what the Dems want. Your time is coming to an end.
Kevin McCarthy wants the Donald and everyone else to just roll over to this blatant fraud. The scum did not even get away with it. They were caught left, right centre, top, and bottom. For all that, the rest of the traitorous scum are trying to force us to just knuckle under to the most massive election theft in the history of the world and to its ensuing train of leftwing fascist and communist tyranny, lies, usurpations, murder, theft, and surrender. The Donald’s answer and mine to his HELL NO, DAMMIT!
The tragedy is that while Dems fight vigorously for their cause even after it’s over – like they fought 4 years over the lost election in 2016 (despite fraud against Trump then already) – then the Reps bend over quickly and docile to take the broomstick up the kazoo. There is NO fighting spirit in the RINO Rep party. Reps just want to sit in and watch the Dems rule, snug as a bug in a rug.
None of this would have happened if the right thing was done. There should have been a commission investigating fraud. I’m fed up with people that I respect such as Shapiro saying that the election was stolen is a lie. Over 1000 people signed affidavits under penalty of perjury were they lying? Experts proved votes where changed in voting machined to Biden from Trump. Were these claims made up? A commission to investigate these claims should have and still should be called at least to prevent corruption in further elections. I listened to hours of testimonies and I am fully convinced that the election was stolen. My son who is a liberal and listens to the MSM had no idea that over 1000 people signed affidavits claiming fraud. He said that this was the most highly verified election in his lifetime.
This is a very, very sad day for America. I’m afraid those 80 million aborted infants blood will be atoned by persecution unlike anything this country has ever seen. Predicted in scripture. We’re guilty of the blood of little innocents. No one mourns for them, but rather mourns from themselves.
Antifa and BLM leaders were in the Capitol already most of them were counting electoral votes
This is the next path forward, first block twitter and facebook from your internet provider, the state of Idaho internet provider blocked them both.
Tech bubble is imminent, close tweeter, FB, Instagram accounts, dump their stock if own any from your IRA, 401K check your mutual funds that have Twitter or FB included, Twitter down again, dump before they go to zero, stop buying from Amazon, buy direct from the mom’s and pop’s stores near you, don’t wait DO IT TODAY
There will never be another fair election again. Not until we win a vicious and bloody civil war II. McCarthy is part of the swamp. He is a pure piece of rhino dung. The next two years will be God awful. All we ever asked for was a fair hearing on all the fraud in the election and we were unable to get any court to look at our evidence.
Im very disappointed in Kevin McCarthy, Kelly Loeffler and others. President Trump promoted them encouraged them and quite frankly put them where they are! Very sad that people can be bribed, blackmailed to do the deep states bidding. The Democrats are willing to destroy America for their Chinese puppet masters. Looks like its down to the military and the true Supporters to up hold the Constitution and save America Very sad indded
With the total backup of 90pc of the press and 100pc of big tech the Democrats will get their long cherished dictatorship.
The rinos are desperate to ride the stinking corrupt gravy train as they did before the incorruptible Trump arrived at the bank of the swamp, pinched his nose against the stench and demanded “this must stop”.
so Kevin McCarthy–have you lost your mind? accusing Trump of being responsible
for the so called “breach” of capital—you are now part of the problem—another wobbly
republican who’s so scared of being called a name or not getting a job!! I am embarrased
for you!!!
Kevin McCarthy deserves even more credit for the JAN 6 Protest because of the GOP delegations failure to protect the American people when they had a chance. Paul Ryan and all of them are responsible for more than JAN 6 but for the return of the Democratic Socialist Party. The only responsible party of trust was our President not the Congress. Romney-Collins-McCaskey and all RINO never Trumpers are to blame.
These idiots that say trumps partly or all at fault for the riots need to just shut the h*ll up. The Dems once again are guilty for the riots. They had this planned as we’re finding out and there’s more they’re planning to keep making Trumps voters look bad.
