House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer was just asked to respond to Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's defense of President Trump.
Earlier today, McCarthy said the dispute between President Trump and the Democratic congresswomen he's tweeted racist attacks about is about ideology and socialism.
“That’s baloney,” Hoyer said forcefully while talking to reporters. “This has nothing to do with socialism.”
He argued the National Republican Congressional Committee and other Republican leaders are trying to sell the narrative that Democrats are socialists.
“That’s just baloney,” he added. “Just political rhetoric.”
