To the editor: Why are some journalists reporting on House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield) as if this is just another political horse race story? It completely misses the significance of what is happening here. ("Truth doesn't matter to the GOP," editorial, April 26)
The real story is that a potential future speaker of the House is ready to forgive the treasonous overthrow of our election by a dangerous autocrat. Why are you not pointing out how beyond normal and unprecedented that is in U.S. history?
Instead you just talk about who in the GOP still supports McCarthy because he almost did the right thing and abandoned former President Trump after his bloody insurrection last year. But rather than protect our democracy and denounce Trump and the insurrection, McCarthy tried to pretend it didn't happen and crawled back down to Florida to kiss the ring.
That is an unbelievable scandal. Why aren't you treating it like one? Please do better. Tell the real, whole truth about these people. Defend our democracy.

To the editor: McCarthy's denial is not a Republican thing or a Democratic thing. It is a lying thing. When did our society start thinking it is OK to lie?
Where is our sense of morality and decency? Don't we still teach our children that it is not OK to lie, steal or bully?

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
