The most senior Republican in the House is renting his Washington DC home from a high-profile GOP pollster who has been accused of lobbying on behalf of 'liberal' causes, it emerged on Monday.
GOP house leader Kevin McCarthy is staying at the Penn Quarter condo owned by Frank Luntz.
Luntz, 59, runs a successful Republican polling and communications company, but in January declared that he no longer felt able to call himself a Republican.
His stance has enraged Tucker Carlson, with the Fox News host blaming Luntz for driving a wedge between Republican voters and their leaders.
On Friday Carlson said senior Republicans were disconnected from their supporters partly because they listen to 'conventional liberals' like Luntz, whom he accused of serving 'left-wing corporations'.
On Monday night Carlson revealed that McCarthy was living at Luntz's home.
Most members of Congress rent or buy property in Washington DC, for when Congress is in session. Some stay in hotels, but most avoid staying with friends out of concern for ethics rules forbidding the acceptance of gifts.
A spokesman for the 56-year-old California representative told Carlson: 'Because of the pandemic, McCarthy has rented a room in Washington at a fair market price from Frank.'
According to online records, Luntz is the registered owner of four apartments in the building. It is unclear which one of the apartments McCarthy lives in.
Carlson said that Luntz, who is not a registered lobbyist, 'lobbies on behalf of the world's most left-wing companies,' citing Google, Nike and Delta airlines.

PATRIOT PING
Several closets involved here.
McCarthy should have asked Democrat Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro if he could live in her basement like Rahm Emanuel did. He lived there illegally, never paying rent, and both got away with it.
And...Another manufactured crisis by Tucker Carlson.
If these gay boys in D.C.want to hang around with each other and play hide the salami, it is none of my business.
A spokesman for the 56-year-old California representative told Carlson: 'Because of the pandemic, McCarthy has rented a room in Washington at a fair market price from Frank.' wi all the associated rental agreements and rent receipts... right?
Carlsons report said he was rooming with Luntz which appears to have been a made-up headline to garner hits. Luntz is not his roommate — he is his landlord. Chances are if you rent any apartment in DC it will be owned by a liberal.
McCarthy says he is paying fair market value. Who knows? that would be the one thing to check.
However my bigger concern is this — If Luntz owns the place has it been bugged to leak McCarthy’s conversations to the media and democrats?
Birds of a feather...
As you well know, this hit piece on McCarty is one way of the MSM to de- legitimize any public servant or govt employed.
AOC promised “ we will go after you” not unlike the very similar ValJar ‘ s promise
It’s that Luntz is a liberal and McCarthy listens to him.
McCarthy disclosed today on Fox News that he was paying $5000 a month for a single room and has known his friend Luntz for 30 years.
I don’t get it. He’s renting this place because of the pandemic? Where did he stay in Washington before the pandemic? I don’t understand the significance of the pandemic in his housing choices.
Actually this could violate House and campaign finance laws which if guilty of favors needs to resign. Good work Tucker.
That would be a horrible criminal felony offense for which there would be no punishment.
It seems to be something more than that. $5000/month fir one room, to a lobbyist.
‘
There’s no secret Luntz loathes Trump supporters.
He continually hits them up as low-information and backward.
He’s become very rich playing like he’s a pollster,
‘
secret?
Dump McConnell and McCarthy, seems they are trying to line their own pockets....
Apparently that's not all he's been driving...
