'Disavow Trump and let him face justice': Kevin McCarthy lit up by local paper
Kevin McCarthy on Twitter.


House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was called out by the editorial board of a key California paper for running to the defense of Donald Trump once again after his fourth indictment -- and the paper urged him to "dump" the former president and let him face the music in the courtrooms.


According to the Sacramento Bee editorial board, McCarthy jumped into the fray once again after the former president was indicted under RICO charges in Georgia by taking to social media and proclaiming, "Justice should be blind, but Biden has weaponized government against his leading political opponent to interfere in the 2024 e******n. Now a radical DA in Georgia is following Biden’s lead by attacking President Trump and using it to fundraise her political career. Americans see through this desperate sham.”





As the editors pointed out, the top Republican in the House was "wrong on many levels."

"Trump is not the president. The man who beat him fairly, Democrat Joe Biden, is leading the nation. Biden had nothing to do with bringing the Georgia case. That was the decision of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. As for 'weaponizing,' McCarthy, like his fellow Americans, has yet to hear all the evidence in the two federal and two state cases against Trump," they accused.


POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?

As they noted, McCarthy has had multiple previous opportunities to cut Trump loose after two impeachments and his earlier indictments but has lacked the will to stand up for the rule of law.


"This chapter offers McCarthy, the Republican from Bakersfield whose district stretches north to Clovis, a chance to do something he should have done immediately after the J*** 6, 2021 r**t at the Capitol: Dump Trump," wrote the editors. "Now is the time to say, no more. Let the justice system work, and stop weaponizing politics to interfere with that process."

The board concluded, "Defending Trump is a fool’s errand. These indictments are not weaponized accusations, but the justice system working as it should. McCarthy stands at another key moment. Disavow Trump and let him face justice. Do that for the good of America, the GOP, and history’s judgment. But if McCarthy fails to act, he will keep the nation in continued upheaval. History will show he responded not with courage, but cowardice. V**ers would do well to remember that come the next e******n."


Oh Snap !!!!
This is the End.
Disavow being the key word here.

"Rich Men North Of Richmond"

I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day
Overtime hours for bulls**t pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
D**g back home and drown my troubles away

It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin' in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
'Cause your dollar ain't s**t and it's taxed to no end
'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat
And the obese milkin' welfare

Well, God, if you're 5-foot-3 and you're 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground
'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down

Lord, it's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin' in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
'Cause your dollar ain't s**t and it's taxed to no end
'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day
Overtime hours for bulls**t pay
