McCarthy called Trump pleading for him to stop the rioters.
I’ve spoken to multiple Republican members at the House who have knowledge of that call, who tell us that after Trump tried to say to Kevin these are not my people, it’s Antifa, Kevin McCarthy said to Trump no, it’s not Antifa these are your people.
After he said that Trump said to Mccarthy, quote, “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”
House Republicans also described Trump as happy and facilitating the Capitol attack by failing to act.
