Can you follow the hearsay?
Can you follow the hearsay? So this NY Times article is stating a fact based off of what a house member said, she overheard McCarthy talking about a phone call he had with Donald Trump. Do you see how crazy that is? Would that hold up in court? Then everyone else said that it didn’t happen?
The NY Times did not use this colorful language with the mob, besiegement during the summer of 2020.
Remember when reading this article everything in quotes that Beutler said, is what she supposedly heard from McCarthy.
Direct Quotes:
In a statement on Friday night, Representative Jaime Herrera Beutler, Republican of Washington, recounted a phone call relayed to her by Mr. McCarthy of California, the minority leader, in which Mr. Trump was said to have sided with the rioters, telling the top House Republican that members of the mob who had stormed the Capitol were “more upset about the election than you are.”
Her account of the call between Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Trump, first reported by CNN, addressed a crucial question in the impeachment trial: what Mr. Trump was doing and saying privately while the Capitol was being overrun.
Hours after the assault began, Mr. Trump tweeted a video in which he asked those ransacking the Capitol to leave. “Go home. We love you. You’re very special,” he said.
