"House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) might be making another
trip to Mar-a-Lago to seek forgiveness from Donald Trump after
accidentally insulting him.
“I just have one rule of thumb,” McCarthy said on Fox News on Tuesday.
“I really don’t trust anyone that keeps a mural of themselves in their office.”
Trump has a large portrait of himself at his Mar-a-Lago resort and
famously lined the walls of his New York office with magazine covers
featuring his visage. His post-presidential office even features a small
statue of Trump.
But McCarthy was not referring to the former president. He was
attempting to slam Dr. Anthony Fauci, who this week announced he would
retire from his positions as director of the National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical adviser to the president:"
"Fauci does possess a portrait of himself. Unlike Trump’s portrait,
which he commissioned, the Fauci image was painted in 2020 by singer/songwriter/artist Joan Baez to honor him as someone who has “made meaningful social change without the use of violence.”"
