Carlson: “Dem Puppet” McCarthy Hates People Like You

The Insider reports:

Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday slammed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, calling him a “puppet” of the Democratic Party.

Carlson’s statements came after The New York Times published a bombshell report detailing how McCarthy was concerned about GOP lawmakers like Rep. Matt Gaetz and their potential for inciting violence following the January 6 Capitol riot.

The Times also highlighted how McCarthy, in leaked audio recordings obtained by the outlet, had mulled the possibility of censoring GOP lawmakers.

The Washington Examiner reports:

“Unless conservatives get their act together right away, Kevin McCarthy, or one of his highly liberal allies, like Elise Stefanik, is very likely to be speaker of the House in January. That would mean we will have a Republican Congress led by a puppet of the Democratic Party,” Carlson said on his show.

Stefanik hails from New York and is the third-ranking member of the House GOP. “Those are the tape-recorded words of congressman Kevin McCarthy, a man who, in private, turns out sounds like an MSNBC contributor,” Carlson remarked.
