House Speaker Kevin McCarthy pushed back at aggressive questioning from a CNN reporter, shaming them for hiring hacks like Andrew McCabe and James Clapper in the process.
“The idea of equal justice is not playing out here,” McCarthy said of Trump’s indictment, pointing to CNN’s Lauren Fox and asking, “You’re with CNN right? “Let’s take Andrew McCabe for example.”
Fox interrupted him saying “but this is a different set of circumstances,” leading to McCarthy firing back "Are you prepared to defend your network, CNN? Even though your network hired 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 judgment against President Trump. You also hired Clapper -”
King interrupted "What steps is the House going to take in terms of, is there any effort to defund the FBI, any effort to defund the Department of Justice after what we've seen over the last couple of days?" which McCarhy ignored and continued slamming Clapper for signing the bogus intel community letter dismissing Hunter Biden’s laptop as a Russian disinformation effort. “So, your network hires Clapper, who literally lied to the American public. [He was] 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."
