Kevin McCarthy Says FBI Scandal Was 'Modern Day Coup,' Compares It to Watergate

We were all thinking it, but Rep. Kevin McCarthy (CA) said it out loud to make sure every liberal in the mainstream media could hear. Check out the House Minority Leader’s thoughts on the FBI spying on the Trump campaign years ago, via Daily Wire:

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy compared the FBI’s misconduct in surveilling the Trump campaign during the 2016 election to the infamous Watergate scandal, which brought down Republican President Richard Nixon, saying that what the FBI did was a “modern day coup.”

While speaking with Maria Bartiromo of Fox Business, McCarthy said, “Well, if you pause for one moment and you read this IG report by Horowitz, here’s the FBI: They broke into President Trump at the time candidate Trump’s campaign spied on him and then they covered it up. It is a modern-day Watergate. And you’ve got Democrats who aren’t willing to even look into that. That is the area that we should be looking in.

He added, “It’s a modern-day coup. The closest this country’s ever came to but the only way you can compare this to is Watergate. They broke into his campaign by bringing people into it. They have been trying to cover it up for the whole time. Now the question rises just like Watergate. Who knew? When did they know it? And how high did this go up?

During an appearance on Fox News with host Chris Wallace, disgraced FBI Director James Comey admitted he was wrong about certain things.

You’d have to imagine President Trump is feeling pretty good.

If Trump wins re-election next November, Comey says he’s leaving the country.

He’s going to go to New Zealand. Because that’s what a proud America would do, right?
