Watch: McCarthy Destroys CNN Reporter When Asked About Classified Doc Scandal

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy may be facing a revolt from Freedom
Caucus House Republicans over his Dem-friendly debt deal, but he also
may have just earned a few points back obliterating a CNN reporter who
asked about former President Donald Trump's document scandal.

"The idea of equal justice is not playing out here," McCarthy said,
calling it a "real concern to all Americans."

"You're with CNN, right?" McCarthy asks the reporter, who acknowledges
that she is.

"So let's talk about this even further because when somebody
weaponizes government and they actually get removed from government -
let's take Andrew McCabe --"

As soon as McCarthy mentions McCabe, the reporter gets extremely
defensive - cutting him off and exclaiming "but this is a different
case! This is a different set of circumstances, right? I mean the
former president is accused of misleading law enforcement, of a
conspiracy of obstructing justice... that's a different set of facts.
Are you prepared to defend him as the former president.." she
regurgitated.

To which McCarthy shot back - "Are you prepared to defend your
network, CNN ... [reporter tries to interject] ... you can't put words
in my mouth, even though your network can hire Andrew McCabe, who was
fired from the FBI for leaking classified documents. Did you remove
him from your network? No, you continue to put him on to give
judgement against President Trump," he said.

"You also hired Clapper..." he continued - only to be cut off once again.

McCarthy simply ignores the next question and continues his sentence.

"So your network hires Clapper, who literally lied to the American
public, one of 51 other individuals that had briefings and used it
politically to tell the American public that a laptop was Russia
collusion, even though it had all this information about the Biden
administration. Are you prepared to get rid of those people from your
network? Because my concern as a policymaker is that when you
weaponize government, and now you're weaponizing networks, that is
wrong."

"So we will take all of our power to make sure that the legal system
in America puts the blinders back on and people are treated fairly.
And I have a real problem that your network actually pays people who
did classified information and then lied to the American public to try
to influence a presidential election - and then you put them on your
network to give an opinion about a president...  ...what your network
has done has weaponized at the same time."

Meanwhile in other deep state debacles - Rep. Nancy Mace put Keith
Olbermann in his place after he claimed that Hillary Clinton's team
never destroyed government devices with a hammer.

Still waiting on Kinzinger's community note for doing the same thing.
