GOP House Leader McCarthy funding 5 of 10 pro-impeachment reps


According to CNN,

Half of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump โ€” Valadao, Beutler, Katko, and Michigan Reps. Fred Upton and Peter Meijer โ€” have a joint fundraising committee with House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy and his leadership PAC, which has raised roughly $100,000 for each of the five campaigns in the first half of the year. The joint fundraising committee โ€” known as Take Back the House 2022 โ€” has not raised money for the other five: Cheney, Kinzinger, Gonzalez, Washington Rep. Dan Newhouse and South Carolina Rep. Tom Rice. When asked if the House GOP leadership has helped his campaign, Valadao said, โ€œTheyโ€™ve all been very, very supportive.โ€ Challengers typically have a harder time raising money against incumbents, who already have established a connection with voters, donors and powerful allies like McCarthy. Some of the pro-Trump challengers will be a long-shot unless Trump comes to their aid. โ€œItโ€™s difficult for a Republican challenger in a primary when you have a sitting Republican to raise money,โ€ Chris Mathys, a Republican candidate running against Valadao, told CNN. โ€œAt the end of the day, weโ€™re looking for support from the voters in the district. And they are extremely upset with Mr. Valadaoโ€™s betrayal of his oath of office.โ€

This isn't the first time that McCarthy's true colors were exposed.
