McCarthy: Biden document discovery is proof Dems ‘overplayed their hand’ on Trump
NY Post ^ | 01/10/2023 | Mark Moore

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Democrats “overplayed their hand” in how they criticized former President Donald Trump for keeping classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago Florida resort in light of a report that sensitive records were found at a DC institute where President Biden once had an office.

“I just think it goes to prove what they tried to do to President Trump overplayed their hand on that,” McCarthy told reporters on Monday after the news broke about the documents discovered at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement.

“They’ve been around even longer,” McCarthy said, referring to Biden’s staffers. “President Trump had never been in office before and had just left, came out. Here’s an individual who spent his last 40 years in office.”

“It just shows that they were trying to be political with President Trump,” he added.

The Gaslight Press has severe selective outrage.

‘overplayed their hand’ is massively understating the extent of DC malfeasance on this.

Whoa.

If he actually said this, and is reacting the way we'd LIKE him to act . . . . don'cha' think we should give the guy a chance ?

Overplaying a hand is one way to put it. I prefer to say it was blatantly unconstitutional political misconduct but what do I know.

“If he actually said this, and is reacting the way we’d LIKE him to act . . .”

His response is the weakest, spineless, gutless respond of all his choices. The DOJ is completely corrupt, raiding a sitting Presidents home with machine guns and went through his wife’s underwear drawer. Took tons of personal documents and his passport and are trying to put him in jail.

Yet, his response, they kinda overplayed their hand. Really?

“ ‘overplayed their hand’ is massively understating …”

It sure is. Reverse everything and imagine Pelosi’s reaction. This is why we didn’t want Kevin. A guy who counted on to bring marshmallows to a gun fight.

This is why they raided Mar-a-lago because they were looking for Trump offenses to offset Biden’s.

Overplayed their hand.

Oh my, this is mildly upsetting. Perhaps I’ll get the vapors. Bring me to my fainting couch.

overplayed their hand on that

Overplayed implies that BOTH situations are minor non-stories. It shifts the focus to hypocrisy and away from the fact that this SHOULD be treated the way President Trump was treated. There should be raids.

He is correct, of course, but the democrats know they are bulletproof and it will mean nothing. They have the Senate, they have the Presidency, and they have the most corrupt MSM that has ever been assembled outside of Stalin’s Kremlin.

This is Kevin Faboo prime-level douchebaggery at its very worst.

He's joking about the zero effect it will have on Biden, meanwhile the Special Prosecutor is about to ramrod his bogus charges versus President Trump.

It was incumbent upon Faboo to call for a Special Prosecutor to investigate Biden! But that would have been too Speaker-like!

Instead Rep. Michael Waltz, R-Fla goes on Fox & Friends this morning to deliver that talking point, hey Waltz did a great job, BUT THAT IS KEVIN'S RESPONSIBILITY, GODDAMNIT!

You know what? Gaetz was right. F this shitstain down-low sob. Call for his removal. Today.

Benedict Biden’s theft of classified Federal documents is a very SERIOUS CRIME, because unlike with Trump, the VP does NOT have the power to declassify, only the POTUS! He should be IMMEDIATELY IMPEACHED!
