Dazed by a string of bad news, GOP leaders are preparing to revise their messaging. It was revealed yesterday that speech writers for the minority leader are working overtime in an attempt to dull the blow. After seeing one Republican after another testify, McCarthy has indicated to his staff that he is preparing to tell the truth. Lawyers on both sides of the aisle were quick to point out the limits of executive privilege, hoping to prepare an already weary public for more bad news.
GOP strategists have labored for months trying to scrub the winter of 2020 from the annals of history. They see McCarthy's gambit as a grave threat to their careful efforts. "Folks will start dropping like dominoes," one congressman close to the former president said, "the timing couldn't have been worse."
With the mid-terms approaching and with gas prices falling, Republican leaders are bracing for disappointment. "We're praying for a recession," Doug Unfirlj, vice-chair of Americans for Rectitude said recently at a prayer breakfast. "That or a Monkeypox outbreak."
