McCarthy argued: “It’s not Antifa, it’s Maga. I know. I was there.” “Well, Kevin,” said Trump, “I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.” “Who the fuck do you think you are talking to?”
When reading these quotes in conversation it confused me so I tried to look into it to see if the claim the article made was true. I know not all sources are evidently true but I found the same conversation and it made more sense. The claim McCarthy argued about Maga could have happened but it had no correlation with trumps response that was quoted. In the actual conversation Trump refused to call off his rioting supporters to the capitol and this angered McCarthy leading to his statement "Who the fuck do you think you are talking to?". Then trump said "well I guess the people are more upset about the election than you are." Like I said not sure if this information I found is true but it makes a lot more sense.
