Representative Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is under fire over his leaked comments regarding the January 6th 2001 attacks, and now billboards are going up in his neighborhood to join in the general criticism.

The billboards were paid for by the Republican Accountability Project, and showcases McCarthy’s flip-flops about January 6th, drawing attention to the leaked tapes of his comments about then-president Donald Trump, that “we’ve heard the tapes, Kevin,” and to “stop lying about January 6th.”

McCarthy has faced considerable criticism all around for his handling of the January 6th attacks.

It didn’t help McCarthy’s case when he was caught in an apparent lie about what he had said, as he tried to deny the comments, aided by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who clearly wanted the story to die out and go away. When Rachel Maddow of MSNBC aired the recorded phone call of him making his disparaging comments about Trump and other Republicans egging on the unconstitutional riot, it led to some very awkward discussions and a scramble within the GOP.

While McCarthy is frantically working behind the scenes to smooth things over within the GOP, the Republican Accountability Project released a statement declaring their intention to keep the heat on him, presumably with a clear eye towards the congressional midterm elections in November. The billboards will be up for two weeks in six locations throughout McCarthy’s district. The website includes a map of the locations that will feature one of the ads.

“After McCarthy denied reports that he held Donald Trump responsible for inciting the attack on the Capitol and asked Trump to resign, audio recordings of his comments proved he was lying to the public. We’re going to make sure he can’t simply brush off these revelations,” part of the statement reads.

Whether or not the ads will be very effective remains to be seen. A recent report by Axios suggests Democrats are having remorse about the January 6 Committee, and more specifically, coming to regret the many leaks surrounding the committee and the events on that day.

From the report: “Committee members and their staff are growing anxious about the torrent of leaks. They fear they’ll breed complacency in a country already distracted by inflation, Ukraine and the lingering coronavirus pandemic…[a] related concern: regaining public interest now that former President Trump and his red-hot rhetoric are no longer daily fixtures in their lives.”

The report concludes that after years of  ‘bombshells’ that go nowhere, Americans have become numb to screaming headlines and accusations. With inflation and high gas prices on their minds, billboards aimed at keeping the heat on McCarthy might ultimately be standing alone in the cold.

  1. Kevin’s got other problems, about 4 years ago he an a NC house member had a fling, we fired renee for that. He also rents a room from a (clintoholic hillary fan) named Lund. I want to see Texas’s Louis Gohmert as speaker !

    1. I have lost all trust in McCarthy. Didn’t have much in the first place. We need a speaker with some cojones, if we take the majority.

  5. When Rachel Maddow of MSNBC aired the recorded phone call of him making his disparaging comments about Trump and other Republicans egging on the unconstitutional riot, it led to some very awkward discussions and a scramble within the GOP.

    Not to defend RINOs or anything, but how did MSNBC get a hold of this recording and WHO made it? This sounds like an NSA leak (but for all the right reasons). I’m still concerned about the level of skullduggery here though.

    1. And why was just a portion of what was said aired? Typical democrat dishonest media.

  6. What about McCarthy attacking his House members because he doesn’t like free speech? I am totally surprised by Scalise. I guess he is just as dirty as the rest of the traitors in Congress and those traitors know who they are, right McCarthy, McConnell, Graham, Scalise, and many others. None of you went to Congress for Americans, you went there to destroy America, and to pack your pockets! I bet all of you have your hands in the foreign countries’ pockets! Just remember, if the liar McCarthy gets House Speaker, you do not have to listen to him. If you do you are not strong enough to be in Congress. Do what is right for America and Americans!

    1. I was surprised that Scalise was in on that too. What a shame. The list of RINOs keeps growing. McCarthy should NOT be elevated to House Speaker!

  7. I knew 2 yrs ago he was a cool speaking skunk .
    I’m good at reading people and he is a snake rhino in the grass ,along with
    The Kentucky Ahole .
    The Republican Party are riddled with rhinos and supreme assholes.
    Ever think their getting a big wad of money under the table to be the silent
    Destroying rhinos knowing all the ins the out of secretive inside talks .
    BINGO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. McCarthy is bad news. He’s a weasel in the Paul Ryan, bitch… I mean mitch mcconnell way… who have sold America and our values out… more than likely to the CCP.

  10. It’s imperative mccarthy doesn’t become SotH assuming all goes well with the approaching election.

    He’s exactly what the democrats need!

    Everyone of us need to start blowing up congressional AND senatorial phones lines and email and vociferously voice our opposition to mccarthy and The Turtle in leadership roles. We need people with a backbone. MTG comes immediately to mind.

    Rand Paul as Majority Leader in the senate. The two would work well together and keep the ‘king RINOs in line, if there are any left.

  11. Wasn’t too happy when I saw “the glee” on McCathy’s FACE when Hillary lost.I’m not sure “if” I like this man at all. Let’ face it. He’s a politician.
