The House Minority Leader, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), has turned the Democrat-led impeachment of President Donald Trump into a political score-settling feud that has badly divided the party. McCarthy and other Republicans have accused Democrats of using an unfair process to remove President Trump from office, accusing them of engaging in a politically motivated “witch hunt” rather than pursuing a fair investigation of the president. McCarthy has also blamed the media for further sowing divisions through biased coverage of the proceedings. Despite these criticisms, McCarthy has indicated that he is open to witnessing the results of the inquiry, though he has not explicitly committed to supporting an impeachment vote.
