BREAKING: New details about Trump-McCarthy shouting match show Trump
refused to call off the rioters

In an expletive-laced phone call with House Republican leader
Kevin McCarthy while the Capitol was under attack,
then-President Donald Trump said the rioters cared more about
the election results than McCarthy did. "Well, Kevin, I guess
these people are more upset about the election than you are,"
Trump said, according to lawmakers who were briefed on the
call afterward by McCarthy. McCarthy insisted that the
rioters were Trump's supporters and begged Trump to call them
off. Trump's comment set off what Republican lawmakers
familiar with the call described as a shouting match between
the two men. A furious McCarthy told the President the rioters
were breaking into his office through the windows, and asked
Trump, "Who the f--k do you think you are talking to?"
according to a Republican lawmaker familiar with the call.
