Surely Kevin McCarthy was in on it too.
He went on Ingraham right after the election was called and told Trump supporters, "This was not a fair election. Do not accept these results, and do not accept them quietly."
He was blowing the dog whistle back months ago.
He would be a prime target, not just because he would be the Speaker of the House if GOP won the House but he also said he had the votes a while back. All Republicans are under watch, but he had a lot of bravado in something that said otherwise.
