Kevin McCarthy has been reduced to defending Donald Trump with cringe worthy comments about bathroom door locks. As stevebenen writes, there's an important subtext: The House speaker just can't think of anything smarter to say.
that the case against the former president is “going to disrupt this nation,” which might very well be true, but in a country that takes the rule of law seriously, those accused of serious felonies don’t get a pass if politicians think their trials might be distracting.
Yesterday on Capitol Hill, McCarthy spoke to reporters for the first time since the indictment news broke, and he tried to put a new spin on his stale talking points. NBC NewsAsked whether it’s a “good look” for Trump to store classified documents in a bathroom, according to the indictment, McCarthy again tried to draw parallels between Trump and Biden’s classified documents cases. “I don’t know.
There’s a better way: McCarthy could save himself some embarrassment by simply saying, “The former president deserves the presumption of innocence, and I’m optimistic about his upcoming trial.”
