Kevin McCarthy did the right thing after the January 6th insurrection at the capitol in Washington DC. The insurrection resulted in the death of 6 Americans. One of which was a capitol police officer- beaten to death by Trump supporters. McCarthy initially claimed that the outgoing president “bears responsibility” for what happened. In recent days, he changed his mind. It appears he is worried about his own re-election, rather than the greater good of our country. He has failed to acknowledge the members of the Republican party who are posing a major threat to our democracy. These members continue to tout Q Anon conspiracy theories, and it’s incredibly dangerous. He needs to resign. This is the only way to sever ties with Donald Trump for good- and the country can begin to heal.
