McCarthy Retreats: No Violence Over Trump Arrest

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said fans of defeated former President Trump should stay calm should he be indicted in a Manhattan hush-money quiz this coming week, AJ McDougal reported for Daily Beast.

“I don’t think people should protest this, no,” McCarthy told reporters during in Florida, adding: “And I think President Trump, if you talk to him, he doesn’t believe that either.”


He proposed that Trump was simply trying to “educate people about what’s going on” and wasn’t “talking in a harmful way.”


Yet, Trump meant exactly that when he asked members of his cult to fight to “take the country back,” echoing his call for them to fight like hell when he goaded them to attack the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.



The speaker’s remarks came a day after he worked up a lather defending Trump on Twitter, calling the Manhattan probe “an outrageous abuse of power by a radical DA (Alvin Bragg) who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump.”
