Rep. Lieu used to be proper. Kevin McCarthy and the Area Republican management have performed not anything to punish Reps. Greene and Gosar for attending and talking at a white nationalist convention.
Mitch McConnell, who isn’t even within the Area, had a more potent observation towards Greene and Gosar than Kevin McCarthy who referred to as it unacceptable however didn’t denounce white supremacy or his two individuals.
Each motion that Kevin McCarthy takes or chooses now not take displays his weak point. McCarthy is afraid to confront Greene and Gosar as a result of they’re allies of Trump, and they may deny him the speakership if Republicans take again the Area in November.
By means of doing not anything, McCarthy is signaling his enhance for racism and white supremacy within the Republican Birthday party.
