Speaker Kevin McCarthy
Kevin McCarthy.
  • Kevin McCarthy was seen swerving questions about Santos and Trump like a pro.
  • "I'm not going to avoid your question," McCarthy told a reporter.
  • Then, he proceeded to do just that.

If dodging reporters' tough questions was a sport, Rep. Kevin McCarthy would be the G.O.A.T. 

On Tuesday, McCarthy did just that when it came to questions about former President Donald Trump, who a jury just found liable for sexually abusing the writer, E. Jean Carroll, and beleaguered New York Rep. George Santos, who was just hit with criminal charges from the Justice Department.
