No Loyalty Between Liars
From this:
Kevin McCarthy was allegedly the subject of foul-mouthed rants by former US president Donald Trump, who claimed that the Republican House leader “pretended” to be his friend, a new book says.
Mr Trump, according to an account from Peril, a book soon to be released by Watergate reporter Bob Woodward and his Washington Post colleague Robert Costa, flipped after Mr. McCarthy condemned the 6 January riot.
“This guy called me every single day, pretended to be my best friend, and then, he f****d me,” Mr Trump reportedly said of the Republican House leader in February. “He’s not a good guy”.
Mr. McCarthy told the House a week after 6 January that the former president bore responsibility for the attack on Congress “by mob rioters”, and that Mr Trump “should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding”.
Who can read this and not laugh out loud? Anyone who expects any level of loyalty from House Republican leader and professional liar Kevin McCarthy gets exactly what he deserves. And here the victim is the guy who took lying to a level never before imagined.
