House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Sunday defended former President Donald Trump’s mild response to the Jan. 6 insurrectionist attack on the U.S. Capitol, noting that Trump eventually released a video that day asking the rioters to go home. During an exchange on “Fox News Sunday,” host Chris Wallace asked McCarthy to confirm a GOP congresswoman’s account of a phone call between McCarthy and Trump that took place as rioters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington said McCarthy told her that he had asked Trump to call off the attack and the president responded: “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”
