McCarthy triggers liberal reporters with ‘modern-day Watergate’ assertion that could lead to Obama

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was a little too blunt in his honesty about the campaign to take out President Donald Trump, first initiated by the FBI under former bureau director James Comey.

McCarthy tweeted a clip of an appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

The FBI broke into President Trump’s campaign, spied on him, then tried to cover it up.

“The FBI broke into President Trump’s campaign, spied on him, then tried to cover it up. This is a modern-day Watergate,” the tweet read, paraphrasing his remarks in the clip.

“It’s a modern-day coup, the closest this country’s ever came to,” McCarthy adds in the clip. “But the only way you can compare this to is Watergate. They broke into his campaign by bringing people into it. They had been trying to cover it up for the whole time. Now the question rises, just like Watergate, who knew? When did they know it? And how high did this go up?”
Suffice it to say, with an assertion that could include former President Barack Obama, the left lost it’s collective mind, with the media leading the way to insist McCarthy is lying.

But then, when you consider that an FBI attorney doctored an email to essentially manufacture evidence to ensure a FISA warrant would be obtained to spy on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, you get a sense of why McCarthy was saying the FBI “broke into” the campaign.

As the old saying goes, “You know you are over the target when the flak is heaviest.”

And, boy, oh, boy, the flak was coming hard and heavy from the big guns, to include the prerequisite charge that McCarthy is a “Russian asset.”

Here’s but a small sampling of the umbrage on the left from Twitter:
