That's the best they have? Yesterday, McCarthy called on Dems to act (wait for it):

In the public's interest over politics

Yes, a Republican meathead has used the 'public's interest' as his best shot against Nancy Pelosi. Now, he calls for her resignation.

Dream on!

That Barr himself is mixed up in it along with the Jesus-fellating Vice President Pence?

The fact that Pussy Grabber can't stop lying his ass off with one debunked story after another. . . .
