McCarthy Wrecks Democrats With Brutal Truth
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has highlighted what he sees as a stark contrast in leadership between former President Donald Trump and the current administration. McCarthy recently commended Trump for his dignified presence at a ceremony honoring the Abbey Gate victims—a tribute to the 13 U.S. service members who lost their lives in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan.
McCarthy pointed out that Trump, alongside his running mate Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), demonstrated a genuine connection with the American people and respect for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. In contrast, McCarthy criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their absence at the Arlington National Cemetery event. On Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle, guest-hosted by Pete Hegseth, McCarthy emphasized that while Trump embodied presidential demeanor and empathy, Harris was noticeably absent.
“Where was Kamala Harris, the Vice President?” McCarthy questioned. “She was nowhere to be found. Trump didn’t need to speak to show his respect—his presence alone conveyed the nation’s sentiments about the fallen heroes and their families. Kamala Harris, on the other hand, seems to have avoided taking a stand or showing genuine leadership in these moments.”
McCarthy also praised Vance for his critical speeches targeting Harris, questioning why she hasn’t acted on her 2024 campaign promises despite her current role. He likened her situation to an employee who fails to perform their job but still expects a raise, suggesting Harris’s record does not warrant her current position.
Further, McCarthy criticized Harris for shifting her policy positions to appear more centrist, coining a term to reflect her apparent political maneuvering: “Instead of Kamala, it’s Kahamela,” implying that her stances are as adaptable as a chameleon.
McCarthy argued that Harris’s strategy reveals a lack of confidence and a desire to avoid direct scrutiny. “This is a short campaign, let’s be honest,” he said. “If Harris had to run for the nomination on her own merit, she wouldn’t have made it. Now, she’s trying to stay out of the spotlight and adopt any position that she thinks will be popular.”
In the upcoming CNN interview with Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), critics have noted that the joint appearance may reflect a lack of confidence. Meanwhile, polling indicates Harris holds a slight lead over Trump among independent voters in key battleground states, though the competition remains tight, especially in Pennsylvania where the candidates are essentially tied.
