LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Shrinking from leadership role

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California is showing his true colors.

First, he condemned Donald Trump for starting the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, and in his next breath he flew out to Florida to suck up to the almighty one and kiss the ring.

Then, he got Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., removed from her position in the House and replaced her with another Trump suck-up.

Now, he will not take any action against rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., ridiculously claiming that mask mandates are the same as the Holocaust, when Jewish people were made to wear a yellow star and sent to concentration camps. McCarthy has not said a word about these insults to the Jewish community because Greene is another Trump suck-up.

One member gets removed for telling the truth, but another keeps ridiculing ethnic groups and nothing happens to her. I hope when it comes time to re-elect Greene, Georgians in her district think long and hard about having a lunatic making these statements. Their vote is their best tool to stop this lunacy, since McCarthy will not do anything to stop her.
