Kevin McCarthy slammed for his 'delusional cult behavior' as he continues to live in Trump's fantasy land
Although some prominent Republicans are acknowledging that Democrat Joe Biden is now president-elect of the United States — including former President George W. Bush, Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah and veteran GOP strategist Karl Rove — President Donald Trump is still refusing to accept the election results, making baseless claims of widespread voter fraud and vowing to fight in court until the bitter end. And many Republican Trump enablers in Congress are afraid to publicly acknowledge that Biden won, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
Republican Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma is arguing that Biden needs to begin receiving intelligence briefings. But when McCarthy was asked, at a news conference, if the president-elect should be receiving such briefings, he went into Trump loyalist mode and said, "He's not president right now. Don't know if he'll be president January 20."
