McCarthy Confirms He Rents Room from Frank Luntz

May 4, 2021 · 10:51 am ET · Leave a Comment

“House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) confirmed on Tuesday he rented a room from GOP pollster Frank Luntz during the coronavirus pandemic, news that was first reported by Fox News host Tucker Carlson the night before,” The Hill reports.

Said McCarthy: “I didn’t know how this was controversial. Frank has been a friend of mine for more than 30 years. I met him with Newt Gingrich back when they were working on the Contract with America.”

The Daily Mail has more details, but it’s worth watching Tucker Carlson’s piece too.
