House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is not a compromising or conciliatory kind of guy. Until last Thursday, he had never referred to Joe Biden as the president-elect. Even after the insurrection at the Capitol last Wednesday, he voted to sustain the objections to counting the electoral votes from Pennsylvania and Arizona. And before that, he signed on to Texas's bogus lawsuit against Pennsylvania and other states, in its absurd attempt to invoice SCOTUS's original jurisdiction.
After all that, McCarthy announced "I have reached out to President-elect Biden today and plan to speak to him about how we must work together to lower the temperature and unite the country to solve America’s challenges." The only think Joe Biden did to raise the temperature was to win the election.
So, to paraphrase Chief Justice Roberts: The way to lower the temperature and unite the country, Mr. McCarthy, is for you to lower the temperature and stop being so divisive.
