McCarthy has been under scrutiny for saying he would urge Trump to resign after the Jan. 6 insurrection.
House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, under scrutiny for saying after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot that he would urge then-President Trump to resign, alluded to the turmoil during a speech Saturday night at the California GOP convention.
However, questions have swirled about his prospects since the release of the audio — less because McCarthy’s denial was proved to be false and more over speculation on Trump’s reaction to the disclosures. Some say McCarthy’s fate fully depends on the former president.“The potential threat to McCarthy would have been if Trump went full bore against him. But without that, it’s hard for opponents to use that.
“The only discussion I would have with him is I think [an impeachment resolution] would pass and it would be my recommendation you should resign,”provided to MSNBC by New York Times reporters. “I mean that would be my take, but I don’t think he would take it. But I don’t know.” Culture war issues were also a constant theme. Speakers criticized transgender athletes, warned of what they said was “indoctrination” of schoolchildren, and lambasted what they deemed to be “critical race theory.”
