Just a few fun tidbits about Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R), CA-23, and now House Minority Leader:
► His district is considered to be very rural, and very blue-collar.
► On October 23, 2018, McCarthy tweeted that businessman George Soros, businessman Tom Steyer and former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, all of whom are Jewish, were trying to "buy" the upcoming election. McCarthy tweeted this a day after a pipe bomb was delivered to Soros' home.
► "There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump," McCarthy said, according to Entous, a superb reporter who heard a tape recording of the colloquy. "Swear to God."
In the Washington Post piece, McCarthy’s remark is met with laughter, and Ryan cautions his colleagues, "This is an off the record . . . No leaks! . . . All right?"
And then, amid more laughter, Paul Ryan says, "This is how we know we’re a real family here."
"That’s how you know that we’re tight," Steve Scalise, the House Majority Whip, says.
"What’s said in
the family stays in
the family," Ryan concludes.
► McCarthy’s BIL has won more than $7 million in military contracts in McCarthy’s district by claiming that he’s one-eighth
Cherokee.
Spoiler alert: He... is not Cherokee.

So, basically, they're a mafia now. I mean, it just never stops with these idiots. All of them. They're just rotten to the core and you have damned subgenius, Markk, Ajax, Bach, and others seeing this stuff posted and just shutting it down in their brains because of whatever pet issues they have.
They. Don't. Care.
The GOP is a crime syndicate.
