House Republicans say they’re being targeted by social media companies, all of which are liberal, because of their political ideology. In truth, they lose social media accounts because they spread dangerous misinformation about a deadly virus, call for succession, and incite deadly attacks against the U.S. government.
The only person who could quickly enforce standards that would stop them is Kevin McCarthy, but he’s too afraid of an angry, vengeful Donald Trump to do so and it’s become sad and pathetic to watch.
How would you like to wake up today as Kevin McCarthy and know you have another whole year of being subservent to the whims of Trump and MTG all because of ambition? Jan 6 seems like yesterday to me, I bet it feels like an eternity to @GOPLeader

McCarthy (R-CA) really wants to be Speaker of the House should Republicans take over the House of Representatives in 2022. Rapid GOP House members like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who’s been kicked off Twitter, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), who makes racist and xenophobic jokes in public about a colleague who already faces multiple death threats every day, and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), who likes to post anime videos of himself killing another colleague as well as the president, will decide his fate.
What does a beleaguered House minority leader with big ambitions and a host of crazed members of the House who can drop him as easily as they could vote for him to do? In McCarthy’s case, all he’s chosen to do is go with the idiot flow and make rapid 180-degree turns from everything he ever said before this moment. Hold Trump accountable for the insurrection on January 6, 2021? McCarthy didn’t mean that. In fact, Trump didn’t even know the attack was happening until McCarthy called him!
There’s little sympathy to be found for the trapped Kevin McCarthy, especially on Twitter. Read some of their comments below.
