Give new QAnon-supporting members of Congress ‘an opportunity’ says top House Republican Kevin McCarthy – as one of them turns up for orientation and finally puts on a mask
Kevin McCarthy pleaded with the media Thursday to give incoming members of Congress who have voiced their support for the conspiracy theory group QAnon ‘an opportunity’ to prove what they will do as lawmakers.
‘Look, our Party is very diverse,’ the House Minority Leader said when a reporter asked ‘how are you going to deal’ with QAnon supporters in the Republican caucus – specifically pointing to Representatives-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene and Laurent Boebert.
‘You mentioned two people who are going to join our Party and both of them have denounced QAnon,’ McCarthy insisted during his weekly press conference. ‘So the only thing I would ask of you in the press – these are new members – give them opportunity before you claim what you believe they have done and what they will do. I think it’s fair for all.’
Greene has come under fire for her anti-mask stances, but she was captured on video putting on an American-flag patterned face covering before checking in to House Freshman Orientation at a hotel Thursday.
The congresswoman-elect from Georgia was seen exiting her car with a mask hanging around her ear before putting it on and entering the hotel.
