Other conservatives such as Tennessee GOP Governor Bill Lee and state Sen. Marsha Blackburn attended the event over the weekend.
Leftist pushback against McCarthy
Democrats wasted no time in going after the House Minority Leader, especially via social media. Left-wingers claimed that McCarthy owes the House Speaker an apology. Others branded him as a so-called “would be” attacker of Pelosi.
Many Pelosi fans and other Democrats then opined that McCarthy’s joke in Tennessee is grounds for his resignation. Needless to say, the House Minority Leader has not resigned from office; furthermore, McCarthy is not acknowledging the leftist heat coming his way.
Many of McCarthy’s critics have not condemned jokes or even blatant threats against Republicans. Many leftists even cheered during the Trump administration when conservatives faced attacks.
Democrat Maxine Waters once urged her supporters to “create crowds” and “push back” on Trump supporters. Leftists never batted an eye.
Leader Kevin McCarthy continues to play a pivotal role in GOP congressional politics. If Republicans do win back the House, McCarthy has a strong likelihood of becoming the next House Speaker.
