House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy has conceded that January 6th was a 'violent insurrection,' saying he agreed with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's description of that day. 'No one would disagree with that,' McCarthy told reporters on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.His clarification comes after McCarthy was mocked by Democrats for walking away from an ABC News reporter who was asking him about the Republican National Committee censure of Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney for serving on the committee investigating the insurrection.

RINOs smell something in the air. Its call fear. Trump will not be a neophyte next time and he knows, knows who the swamp dwellers and backstabbers are next time around. RINOs be afraid, very afraid!

The only violent act at the Jan.6 Capitol PROTEST, was the killing of an unarmed white women by a black Capitol police officer. Who, got away with the shooting. Was cleared of all charges. No trial, no investigation, no reprimand, nothing.
the stinkin RINO's should be afraid. Way to much info regarding the sleazy happenings of the police and other dems are being found out.

Of course this is a snarky Daily Mail written by a Trump hater. These people are nuts. We need to get new leaders for the House and Senate. I smell the swamp with McCarthy and Mitchell. We need some new life! Those two idiots should be clamoring for justice for those incarcerated over a year, now. We don’t know why. This is not America ! The Capitol Police were in the fracas and cracked heads but now they are spying on Congress. What the heck is going on? We need answers.

When republicans take over the House and Senate this year anyone who thinks that McConnell and McCarthy aren't going to be doormats for the demwits I have a famous long steel arched bridge off Route 19 in WV to sell you. They need to go.

Good Grief!! When are these clowns going to stop this stupid infighting. Are they getting ready to lose a winnable election?
Hey Jack wagons and PDJT- Jan 6th is not on the top of the list for Americans today. Inflation, high prices, loss of freedom, mandates and the illegal invasions are!! Please quit the political buffoonery and stand for a common goal of defeating the Democrats

The Republican party does not support Trump or his supporters. They don't support anyone but themselves, and the highest bidders for their 'services'. They are political prostitutes, and they are no different than the Democrats.

The good news is that this helps sort out the bad people. This pretty much a litmus test, in my view.
If you come down on the "violent insurrection" side, you need to be OUT OF WASHINGTON permanently, because you have revealed yourself to be a totalitarian, lying thug....or just too stupid to grasp what actually happened, and gullible as a six year old.
Either way....BOTH our "Republican leaders" need to be GONE. They cannot be trusted.
Never forget or forgive this. And Lindsey Graham has said the same thing, also revealing his true nature.

Any Republican who spreads this LIE must be primaried out of office. There was no insurrection violent or otherwise. Plus, most of the actual violence seemed to be directed at the protesters.

Just when you think you cannot be more disgusted, disgust comes again. January 6 is not the problem, November 3 was! Anyone who thinks we will ever have a fair election in the USA again without getting to the roots of the stolen election and fixing it is a moronic idiot.

The Senate and House Republicans voted these two individuals to lead them, thus they are also complicit. I haven't called myself a Republican for the past 20 years. I am a Conservative and have no use for the American traitors called Republicans.

Yo! Republicans…….what is it going to take to get you off the plantation? We need a New Political party to represent the people and the Constitution. We should have been working on this for a decade now. Instead you all sit around watching outrage porn on Fox and complain about RINOS thinking You can primary the Gutless Old Pathetic Republican Party into something it’s not. Never was. And never will be. Come on man……..walk away from the Republican Party! You can do it without being a Democrat. It’s not an either or game to be played. Well it is if your a stooge and fall for it I guess. Left vs Right. CNN vs Fox…..blah blah blah. Me and many other Americans are tired of it.

They're looking to use the 14th Amendment on Trump. If you're found guilty of insurrection you cannot be president. This amendment came about after Civil War to prevent ( ex ) confederates from becoming president.

I never liked mor trusted McCarthy. To me, he is a pretty boy, unctuous Californian, and now, is showing his true colors. These guys don’t read the room. You would think that they would know that after how Biden and Dems are running the country, that the Republican voters would want RINOS back in charge. McCarthy is a weakling and should not be allowed to be House Speaker.

McCarthy's had it, now. He's done.
And this has nothing to do with Trump. We aprove of Trump because he enunciates what we believe. Not the other way around. We are NOT followers. We appreviate a voice for our heart's desires.

Those two are Rinos and they can hear professional hunter Trump making his way carefully through the wait-a-bit thorn, in the sweltering afternoon heat, as he hunts them down. All their careful machinations: weaving, dodging, lying and pretending to be conservative have failed.
Will they wait for the inevitable or will they suddenly break cover and run for Beijing and safety?

I have withheld sending any money to the corrupt congressional candidate funds for Republicans in the House and the senate as well because of not wanting to support Cocaine Mitch or McCarthy who frankly is not very bright. Since the House is likely to flip they have trained him to link a couple of sentences but otherwise he is a dope. Now he is a disloyal dope. I’ll spend my money on local candidates, my congressman and my Senator (Rubio).

To the extent the Deep State launched an attack on American liberty on Jan 6, then he is entirely correct.

KM has always been a deep state Mitch McConnel loving never Trumper. He has got to go if the GOP has any hope of ever turning itself around to true conservatism. I never did like him or trust him. He is a back stabbing lying deceitful left winger.

Their cover is blown. It is essential that Trump be the nominee, and then the 47th President. Only he has the resolve, the strength and the justification to flush these grifters, cut the bureaucracy at least in half, clean out the Flag officer corps, and a host of other reforms. Only he.

None, zero, nada $ goes to the republican house or senate grifters. My money goes directly to PDJT to use and distribute as he sees fit.
If D man stink checks and endorses a candidate then donate to that candidate. That process is good enough for me.
Out with the RINOs, in with Conservatives.

McCarthy and McConnell. M&M's, we need to let the new Democrats know that they need new leadership.
McConnell's term doesn't end until 2027, but he doesn't need to spend it as a leader of any kind. Well he hasn't been a leader of any kind , but I mean put someone else in as leader of the republicans in the Senate.
McCarthy ---Primary the dingleberry, get rid of him.

The current leadership of RNC is the problem. Neither party gives a crap about the people. They only give a crap about their power and lining their own pockets. Neither party nor the scum in the media has a clue. There is an earthquake heading their way.

When black lies matter pulled off one of their hundreds of riots, 100% of those thugs participated in the beating, looting and burning. In the Capitol "insurrection" maybe 2% of the people who traveled to Washington that day walked into the Capitol and maybe 2% of that subset did some kind of damage in the building. If these dirty democrats want to avoid a real insurrection they will conduct an honest election and they will let all of those innocent patriots out of jail SOON. You hear me, Nancy?

Don't forget that the Capitol Police also beat an unconscious woman to death at the Capitol on Jan 6 also, beside the shooting of Ashley Babbitt. Roseanne Boyland was murdered by the Capitol police, but they have ruled it "objectively reasonable." Most MSM and other forget about her. This was a coup by democrats and their flying monkeys of the FBI, Antifa, BLM and some republicans thrown in. That's my take on it.

Between the Dominion voting machines, the Soros paid state workers and 99% of the republican party, I do not see DJT being elected again. There is just too much and too many going against him. And I also fear for his life if he should happen to get elected. These people are hate filled. We have been seeing it daily for around 6 years.

There is no better armed group than Conservative Americans...if we wanted a insurrection on J6, it would have looked a lot different than it did. A LOT different.
But everyone knows that. This is all a stupid game. But it is showing us who the RINOs are. Time to clean house.

Washington DC is not a swamp -- it is a sewer. The nasty noxious gasses of that DC sewer infect even the most idealistic politician more and more the longer they stay there!!!
The only solution is term limits for Congress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 terms in the House or 2 terms in the Senate or 1 term in each. Then you go back to your day job. No retirement. No fancy benefits. Just citizen legislatures doing their public service and getting the heck out of there before the sewer gasses turn them into nasty professional bureaucrats!!!!!

McCarthy is dead to me & has been. He's a weak kneed RINO punching bag for Pelosi.
Jan 6 was a peaceful protest against a stolen US election. The only violence was FBI/CIA hired thugs & murderous Capitol Police .
