In the days after January 6 2021, when Donald Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol, House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy said the then president bore “responsibility” for the attack and chastised him for failing to denounce the mob. Just two weeks later, however, McCarthy posed for a smiling photo with Trump at his gilded Palm Beach resort. Trump called their meeting “cordial”, and vowed to work with McCarthy to help the Republicans achieve a majority in the House.
在2021年1月6日唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)的支持者冲进美国国会大厦后的几天里,众议院共和党领袖凯文•麦卡锡(Kevin McCarthy)表示,时任总统对袭击负有“责任”,并指责他没有谴责暴徒。然而,就在两周后,麦卡锡与特朗普在他镀金的棕榈滩度假村微笑合影。特朗普称他们的会面是“友好的”,并发誓要与麦卡锡合作,帮助共和党人在众议院获得多数席位。
