GOP establishment leader Kevin McCarthy plotted with Liz Cheney to force President Trump out of office by convincing him to resign. The conversation was captured in audio that was later leaked to reporters from The New York Times, and now resurfaces as McCarthy faces massive conservative resistance to his speakership campaign.

“I’ve had a few discussions,” McCarthy replied. “My gut tells me no. I’m seriously thinking of having that conversation with him tonight. I haven’t talked to him in a couple [of] days.”
“From what I know of him, I mean you guys all know him too, do you think he’d ever back away?” McCarthy asked, as he plotted with Liz Cheney and others to push President Trump out of the Oval Office, and put the finishing touches on the steal of 2020.
“The only discussions I would have with him is that I think this will pass, and it would be my recommendation [Trump] should resign,” McCarthy went on to say, adding that he also had to speak with the Democrats, and get some guidance from his uni-party colleagues.
“I mean, that would be my take, but I don’t think he would take it. But I don’t know,” said McCarthy in the flashback audio.
