"House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Wednesday after meeting with Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) that the freshman lawmaker was not telling the truth when he made claims about an “orgy” invitation and alleged drug use among unnamed members of Congress.
McCarthy added that Cawthorn “changes what he tells” and “did not tell the truth,” describing his actions as “not becoming of a congressman.”
Cawthorn was seen leaving McCarthy’s office Wednesday morning after a meeting that lasted about half an hour. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) also attended the meeting, according to Politico."

A couple of interesting things about this story, not the least of which that it's apparently okay for Republicans to appear at white supremacist rallies, but not say what Cawthorn said.
Cawthorn himself has not retracted the story, which seems like a big middle finger to McCarthy. Does his caucus take him seriously? Are McCarthy's days as GOP House party Leader numbered? Make way for Jim Jordan as the next Republican House leader?
