McCarthy Secretly Helping GOP Candidates That Trump Is Trying To Take Down
Martin Walsh September 13, 2021
House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy is secretly helping a handful of establishment Republican lawmakers that Donald Trump and his team are trying to take down in the primaries.
Half of the 10 Republicans who voted for Trump’s second impeachment participate in a joint fundraising committee with McCarthy and his leadership PAC.
This PAC has raised roughly $100,000 for each of the five campaigns in the first half of the year, CNN revealed.
The five Republicans are:
–Peter Meijer of Michigan
–David Valadao of California
–Jamie Herrera Beutler of Washington
–John Katko of New York
–Fred Upton of Michigan
The Daily Mail reported:
McCarthy’s political committee also donated $10,000 to Republican Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio in March. Gonzalez also voted for Trump’s impeachment and the former president is supporting an opponent to him, his former aide Max Miller, in the Republican primary.
Herrera Beutler was almost called in as a witness in Trump’s second impeachment trial after she revealed details about McCarthy and Trump’s phone call on January 6th. She is the one who revealed that the two men spoke that day.
The situation puts McCarthy in a tough spot. With his desire to be speaker should Republicans win back control of the House, he needs all of his incumbents to win re-election.
