In a Sunday appearance on CNN's State of the Union, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren was asked for a reaction to audio released by The New York Times featuring Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. 
In a recent Times article, McCarthy was quoted saying even Trump knew he bore some responsibility for the actions of the people who attended Trump’s rally then marched on the Capitol at his urging, then later saying he'd advise Trump to resign.
He was probably bragging, same thing, different motive.

 McCarthy vehemently denied the article's claims, prompting The New York Times to release the supporting audio.
Massachusetts Senator Warren minced no words in her reaction to McCarthy's exposed hypocrisy.
Yesterday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren called Kevin McCarthy a \u201cliar\u201d and \u201ctraitor\u201d in response to newly released telephone audio.\n\nOn the call McCarthy blames Trump for 1/6 and notes that he\u2019d ask him to resign. Of course McCarthy denied this.\n\nSo, NYT released the audio right after.

CNN State of the Union host Dana Bash, after playing the audio, asked Warren:
"You know he's not saying [Trump was responsible] now—what's your reaction?"Senator Warren responded:
"Kevin McCarthy is a liar and a traitor."You can see the exchange below.

The Massachusetts Democrat added:
"This is outrageous. And that is really the illness that pervades the Republican leadership right now...""...that they say one thing to the American public and something else in private."Senator Warren stated regarding Republicans:
"They know it is wrong, what happened." "An attempt to overthrow our government." "And that the Republicans instead want to continue to try to figure out how to make 2020 election different instead of spending their energy on how it is that we go forward in order to build an economy in order to make this country work better for the people who sent us to Washington."She concluded, saying:
"Shame on Kevin McCarthy." In the newly released audio, McCarthy stated he'd advise then Republican President Donald Trump to resign following the January 6 storming of the United States Capitol. 
But McCarthy has sung a very different tune in the aftermath of the Capitol riot—attacking members of his own party for criticizing Trump or participating in the House inquiry into the events of and leading up to January 6.
The Times went public with the recordings after McCarthy claimed their article attributing his own words to him was "totally false and wrong."
While well substantiated examples of hypocrisy and doublespeak are not uncommon for the Republican party, people still shared Warren's disgust over the now well established practice among GOP leadership. 
I love Elizabeth Warren.  She says that kevin mccarthy is "a liar and a traitor".  Something we all know but the Republicans continue to support.  Power at all costs. The hell with our Democracy.  Thanks Senator for speaking out.
