Rachel Maddow leaked a private phone call on her show on Thursday night of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy with Trump-hating lunatic Liz Cheney on January 10, 2021.
On January 10, 2021, Kevin McCarthy spoke with several GOP House leaders including Liz Cheney who was third-in-line in the House Republican Caucus at that time.
During the call, McCarthy told Liz Cheney that he would counsel President Trump Trump to resign.
McCarthy also indicated that he believed Twitter and Facebook should delete the accounts of lawmakers who were supporting Trump's claim of a rigged election.
"Can't they take their Twitter accounts away, too?".
Marin told Rachel Maddow that Kevin McCarthy wanted Twitter to suspend his fellow Republicans from their platform.
For the record - Kevin McCarthy has posted numerous tweets condemning Twitter censorship.
"I think will pass, and it would be my recommendation you should resign," McCarthy said he would tell Trump before further adding, "What he did is unacceptable. Nobody can defend that and nobody should defend it."
Liz Cheney had pressed McCarthy about whether Trump could possibly choose to resign on his own: "Is there any chance? Are you hearing that he might resign? Is there any reason to think that might happen?".
McCarthy then admitted that this was a topic he has "Had a few discussions" about with others.
The recording confirms a claim from the left and was documented in a soon-to-be-released book "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future."
When the claims within the book broke early in the news, McCarthy's spokesman Mark Bednar refuted them saying, "McCarthy never said he'd call Trump to say he should resign." McCarthy himself called the claims about his conversations "Totally false" when the New York Times reported on them earlier today.
With the audio now leaked, McCarthy's private words to Liz Cheney tell a far different story.
