Scott Applewhite)“To claim that a president had violated a law based on a whistleblower she does not know, that wasn’t even on a phone call…to claim that the president did a quick quid pro quo and mentions Biden’s name eight times…so I think at the end of the day the speaker owes an apology to to this nation and I think it’s even questioned why she should stay in her job,” stated the House minority leader.Mccarthy went on to blast Pelosi for allowing House Intelligence chairman Adam Schiff to stay in his role after the Mueller report, ans condemned the House Speaker for not denouncing Joe Biden and his ties to Ukraine.

How many more months will Democrats investigate before they realize they are wrong? How many more millions will they have to spend before they admit that the 2016 election is OVER?
It's time to stop putting America through this nightmare.
