In a statement on Friday night, U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler,
Republican of Washington, one of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach
Trump, said that the top House Republican, U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy,
called Trump frantically on Jan. 6 as the Capitol was being besieged by
thousands of pro-Trump supporters trying to stop Congress from counting
Electoral College votes that would confirm his loss.

She said McCarthy asked Trump “to publicly and forcefully call off the
riot.� Trump replied by saying that antifa, not his supporters, was
responsible. When McCarthy said that was not true, the former president
was curt. “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the
election than you are,� Trump said, according Beutler’s account of what
McCarthy told her.
