McCarthy is asking you to not believe YOUR lying ears on this call:
In an audio recording published by The New York Times, McCarthy can be heard clearly telling Republican leadership that he would call Trump and urge him to step down. He says in the recording that he believed a riot-related impeachment resolution would likely pass, and says he would tell Trump: “It would be my recommendation that you should resign.”
Later, McCarthy said on another call with House GOP leadership that he had spoken to the president, and that Trump accepted some responsibility for the Capitol attack.
