A reporter asked McCarthy about removing Schiff and Swallwell from the intelligence committee.
(Insert snarky @Doctor-Phibes comment about "intelligence" committee here:________________)
He makes some interesting points, and assuming he's not lying (another @Doctor-Phibes comment would fit here as well), it's understandable.
We know for a fact that Schiff is a liar, and a brazen one at that. But, according to McCarthy, there's more.

It's all bad things about the Republicans. Meanwhile, the conservatives on the board seem more comfortable with the assumption that underneath the politics, there does remain some principle in the GOP.
There's more than one possible explanation for that discrepancy.
One of them is that all the real lefties have left the board. Maybe that's why they're called lefties.
That's true. But I've scoured the planet for reasonable lefty voices, and the search has come up empty. Which might be expected, for the party of emotional truths. One shouldn't expect those truths to be defensible rationally.
To be fair, you haven't actually left the house whilst scouring the planet.
Would you consider Stephen Fry, for example, a lefty?

it would be awkward to knock on people's doors, or to walk the streets so I could listen to whomever is screaming from street corners in random neighborhoods.

He doesn't seem indoctrinated into any emotional truths, from what I've heard of him.

If you define a lefty as somebody who is indoctrinated into emotional truths, then it's not particularly surprising that you can't find any reasonable lefties.

You only have to accept that emotionally true narratives are the cornerstone of modern leftism. Which is true.
