Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) tore into House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Sunday calling him a “liar and a traitor” after audio confirmed that McCarthy did say he wanted then-President Donald Trump to resign following the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, a stance he denied having.
“Kevin McCarthy is a liar and a traitor. This is outrageous. And that is really the illness that pervades the Republican leadership right now. That they say one thing to the American public and something else in private,” Warren said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
McCarthy on Thursday flat-out denied a New York Times report that he planned to counsel Trump to resign, calling it “totally false and wrong.” Hours later, the Times published audio of McCarthy saying he planned to do just that.
“It would be my recommendation that he should resign,” McCarthy was heard telling fellow GOP House leaders in a Jan. 10, 2021, call discussing the Capitol attack’s aftermath.
