Kevin McCarthy Hits Nail on the Head on 'Face the Nation' After Question on GOP 'Election Deniers'

To describe Republicans who had questions and concerns about the 2020 presidential election, the mainstream media has relentlessly thrown around the term “election denier” so often that, like their routine accusations of “racism,” the word has been diluted of its actual meaning.

Case in point, an exchange on Sunday between House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and CBS News “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan.

At one point during the interview, Brennan tried to play “gotcha” games with McCarthy on the make-up of the GOP caucus, referring to “70%” of them as people who “denied the results of the 2020 election” and then asking him why he put some of them on various Congressional committees when they were allegedly guilty of “denying reality.”

Though he could have expanded on it a bit in my opinion, McCarthy’s response hit the nail on the head when it comes to members of the press who don’t hold Democrats who objected to prior election results to the same standard they do Republicans.
