Here’s what Kevin McCarthy said to CNBC about Trump: “Can he win that election? Yeah, he can win that election,” McCarthy said. “The question is, is he the strongest to win the election. I don’t know that answer.”

Now the Speaker of the House is groveling as witness this interview today.

McCarthy told Breitbart — the conservative outlet — that “Trump is stronger today than he was in 2016.”

And reportedly, he called Trump to apologize.
