@cbsnews: Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy tells CBS News that Paul Ingrassia's recent comments likening Martin Luther King Jr. to "1960s George Floyd" and suggesting that Martin Luther King Day be "ended and tossed into the seventh circle of hell" are "disqualifying" for the role President Trump has nominated him for, leading the Office of Special Counsel. #kevinmccarthy #mccarthy #politics #politicstiktok #trump
Why do they only get a backbone after they lose power?

If McCarthy still had power he’d be cool with it.

Trump is vile and a scorn to society!!! His lack of judgement in picking these sycophants is disgusting!!! Him choosing Epstein as a friend should tell any logical person how ammoral Trump really is!!!

What's "disqualifying" to most of us... is the very reason Ingrassia was hand-picked for the position. The blatant racism is what resonates with the Miller/Vought administration (because Trump is not picking anyone, he's being handed selections by the Heritage Foundation).

We aren’t here for the Kevin McCarthy whitewash. He is a major reason why we are here. Next.

Kevin was a major part of the problem and he enabled Trump and co. History will remember the stain on his pathetic legacy

Kevin McCarthy is full of BS. If he was still speaker he'd be pushing him through as he bent over for the President.

This is why Trump nominated him. People don't realize or decide to ignore how racist Trump has been his whole life

it's not disqualifying, in this administration it's actually a requirement. Trump would prefer he post it on truth social.

If the Dem running for office that wished death on his opponent and his children isn’t disqualifying then this statement isn’t disqualifying. Especially now with the CIA file release on MLK jr and his proclivities. Plus Kevin McCarthy speaks for no America First Maga republicans. There is a reason why he isn’t in government anymore.
