Trump Refused McCarthy’s Request to Call Off Rioters

“In an expletive-laced phone call with House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy while the Capitol was under attack, then-President Donald Trump said the rioters cared more about the election results than McCarthy did,” CNN reports.

Said Trump: “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”

“McCarthy insisted that the rioters were Trump’s supporters and begged Trump to call them off.”

“A furious McCarthy told the President the rioters were breaking into his office through the windows, and asked Trump: ‘Who the fuck do you think you are talking to?'”
