House GOP leadership discusses growth and the future of the party on Hannity
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, and newly-minted House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik joined Hannity on Friday for their first joint interview since the latter unseated Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., from her leadership post.
McCarthy, R-Calif., criticized President Joe Biden amid a sudden about-face in his administration s mask mandates. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky announced earlier that vaccinated Americans no longer must wear masks in public settings.
As McCarthy alluded to, blackhat hackers reportedly residing in Russia stymied Colonial Pipeline s operations – which supply nearly half of the east coast s oil. Gas stations from the deep South to at least as far north as Reisterstown, Md., have experienced outages of gasoline.
The installation of Rep. Elise Stefanik as chairwoman of the House Republican Conference was intended to put the focus back on combating President Joe Biden’s agenda rather than relitigating former President Donald Trump. But Democrats, and some in the media, are not going to make it easy to move on.
