“I mean, look, I don’t trust a thing Kevin McCarthy says. I’ll be honest with you. Sometime about a year or two ago, he made the decision that his only goal was to become Speaker of the House. And he’ll do whatever he has to do, and he thinks that siding with the insurrectionists is the way to get there. Maybe it will make him speaker.”
— Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), on CNN.
