Leaked audio shows House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy supported a congressional inquiry into the January 6 insurrection — just five days after it happened — the opposite to the opinion he later argued in public.
Said McCarthy: “We cannot just sweep this under the rug. We need to know why it happened, who did it and people need to be held accountable for it. And I’m committed to make sure that happens.”
In the weeks after the riot, McCarthy completely reversed his position.
