House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has had enough of the Democrats using the coronavirus as another way to attack the GOP.
During an interview with Fox’s Laura Ingraham, McCarthy went on a tirade against the Democrats handling of the virus, namely Nancy Pelosi, who he claims withheld the bill to fund coronavirus efforts.
McCarthy believes Pelosi delayed the vote in order for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to run several ads politicizing the coronavirus against GOP challengers.
McCarthy stated, “Look at how much politics they want to play. The dirty little secret; we have a coronavirus; we have government funding that we need to fund this. You know what Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker, did? She withheld the bill last week. You know why? So the D-triple C (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee; the official campaign arm of the Democrats in the House of Representatives) could run ads against seven Republicans.”
Ingraham asked, “How many people ran ads on the coronavirus, fundraising appeals?”
McCarthy answered, “I don’t know how many ran, but they actually took the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee, spent money; went into these seven Republican seats to campaign against them about the coronavirus when she’s the Speaker of the House. Instead of putting America first she put her politics first and held the bill from coming to the floor.” [The Daily Wire [1]]

Watch the video:
McCarthy seems to have uncovered another ploy by Democrats to use the coronavirus against the GOP and Trump.
This comes shortly after Pelosi called for unity amongst the parties in order to combat coronavirus.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticizes the Trump administration's "chaotic" response to coronavirus outbreak.

Well, it looks like that’s all gone by the wayside as Pelosi clearly using this illness to her advantage.
What kind of soulless person could do something like that?
