‘Gaslighting’ Kevin McCarthy Raked Over The Coals In GOP Group’s Damning New Ad
HuffPost
The Republican Accountability Project explains why the top House Republican and '50s Sen. Joseph McCarthy "aren’t so different" in the spot.
A conservative group draws damning comparisons between House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and the late Joseph McCarthy, the Wisconsin GOP senator who fueled anti-communist fears in the 1950s, in its new ad. Joseph McCarthy “deceived America, pushing a lie that our government was being taken over by communist spies,” says the voiceover of the 60-second video — titled “The New McCarthyism” — that was released by the Republican Accountability Project on Friday. “He gaslit America to advance his own political career,” they continue. “Now McCarthyism is back, with a new McCarthy. Kevin McCarthy. Just like Joe, Kevin McCarthy is gaslighting Americans.”More Related News
