House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy Caught on Hot Mic Saying He’s ‘Had It’ With Liz Cheney
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was reportedly caught on hot mic saying he has “had it” with House Republican Conference Chairwoman and outspoken Never-Trumper Liz Cheney.
The hot mic moment came prior to an interview on “Fox & Friends,” during which he admitted House members are worried that Liz Cheney “can’t carry the message.”
His tone was harsher during the hot mic moments, according to a report from Axios — who reviewed the tape, but did not release it.

McCarthy on the hot mic also reportedly indicated he expects a vote soon to remove Cheney from her leadership position.
