ORLANDO, Fla. — Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Sunday that people should not protest if former President Donald Trump is indicted, but if they do, “there should not be any violence.”
“If this was to happen, we want calmness out there,” the California Republican said at a news conference on the first day of House Republicans’ annual issues conference.
McCarthy told reporters he wants House Republicans to spend most of their conference having member-led discussions about policy issues. But that didn’t stop reporters from peppering him with questions about Trump’s expected indictment and the former president’s post Saturday on his TruthSocial media account calling for his followers to “protest, take our nation back!”
