Kevin McCarthy's Call For Election 'Fairness' Gets Swift Pushback From Fox News Host
HuffPost
Howard Kurtz questioned McCarthy, who backed Trump's 2020 election falsehoods, over whether he wanted Biden to “meddle with the justice system.”
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) appeared to suggest on Sunday that President Joe Biden should meddle with the justice system in response to former President Donald Trump’s legal problems.
The former president, who is facing dozens of felony charges across several cases, has frequently talked about being the target of a “weaponized” justice system and a “witch hunt” even as polls show that most Americans view him as being held “accountable under the law like anyone else.”
McCarthy, who backed Trump’s 2020 election falsehoods and voted against the certification of Biden’s win, pushed for Biden to consider “fairness” in the upcoming election during an interview with Fox News’ Howard Kurtz.
“I think fairness is a word that’s probably a really powerful word in America. Is it really fair that the nominee for one party is now within, is in a trial this close to a presidency?” asked McCarthy, who also didn’t contest Trump-backed House candidates in 2022 that were based on their liking of his election lies.
He continued, “Why wouldn’t Joe Biden, caring about the voters say, ‘You know what? This is wrong. If I had nothing to do with this, they should not have this trial right now so the American people could actually spend time on what the issues are.’ I think that’s even, that would be the real position for Biden to take.”
