Another un-American, anti democracy rethuglican party leader. Mark this jackal for defeat in 2022. He deserves nothing but contempt and derision.
On to the article...
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was among 20 new names added Friday to an amicus brief filed by a majority of House Republicans in support of a Texas-led effort with the Supreme Court to effectively reverse the results of the presidential election.
With the names added Friday, 126 of the 196 House GOP members have now signed onto the brief, according to its organizer, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.). Johnson said the additional names had been left off Thursday because of a “clerical error.”
The Texas lawsuit asks the court to dismiss the results in four swing states that Biden won, an effort that Trump is publicly championing.
Several other House GOP leaders were already among those supporting the effort, which a large number of legal scholars have said is meritless and based on unfounded claims. They include Minority Whip Steve Scalise (La.) and Rep. Tom Emmer (Minn.), chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
Other names of note added Friday include Rep. Greg Pence (R-Ind.), brother of Vice President Pence; and Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.), a former Democrat who switched parties amid the fallout of Trump’s impeachment.
Johnson claimed that even more of the House GOP members would have signed onto the brief if there had been more time to collect signatures.
