WHEN I FIRST SAW THE photo of Kevin McCarthy standing next to Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on January 28, grins on both men’s faces, I thought it was fake. Not a month had passed since Kevin was running through the hallways of the Capitol to escape Trump’s violent mob and calling members of Trump’s family, with fear in his voice, begging them to get Trump to call off the riot. Not even Kevin McCarthy could be this craven, I thought. I was wrong.
