Joseph and Kevin are not related, but there are comparisons between House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and the late Joseph McCarthy, the GOP senator who fueled anti-communist fears in the 1950s, that make them very similar in many ways, for one they're both republican.
Another is, Joseph McCarthy, deceived America, pushing a lie that our government was being taken over by communist spies,” He gaslit America to advance his own political career. Just like Joe, Kevin McCarthy is gaslighting Americans to advance his standing with Trump, and his political career too.
Top House Republican Kevin McCarthy, a staunch defender of Trump, white nationalists, anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists while he whitewashes Jan. 6 all to advance his political power. Joe McCarthy and Kevin aren’t so different.
When Trump needed a stooge, Kevin played the part perfectly. When Trump lied about the election, Kevin followed his lead. When white nationalists, anti-vaxxers, and conspiracy theorists in his caucus need protecting, Kevin’s right there to give them cover.
