Fox News host Tucker Carlson lambasted House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Tuesday over a leaked post-Jan. 6 recording, calling him a “puppet of the Democratic Party” while pointing out that he shouldn’t be Speaker of the House and that he “sounds like an MSNBC contributor.”

Carlson warned Republicans that there needs to be a change in leadership. To make his point, he referred to an excerpt from the soon-to-be-released book, “This Will Not Pass,” written by New York Times reporters Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin.

In the book, the authors quote McCarthy four days after the Jan. 6 protest took place telling other Republican House leaders that perhaps Twitter should ban incendiary accounts that sent out tweets that appeared to support the incident.

“We can’t put up with that,” McCarthy reportedly proclaimed during a Jan. 10, 2021, call that was leaked according to the New York Times. “Can’t they take their Twitter accounts away, too?”
