Kevin Owen McCarthy (born January 26, 1965, age 59) is the United States Representative for California's 23rd congressional district. A Republican, he was from 2014 to 2019 the House Majority Leader, elected by his colleagues to succeed Eric Cantor of Virginia, who resigned from the House after his primary defeat by conservative Dave Brat. From 2007 to 2013, McCarthy represented the 22nd district of California. Prior to that time, he served in the California State Assembly.
After Rep. Louie Gohmert tested positive for the coronavirus, McCarthy accidentally referred to the former as “Congressman COVID”.[2]
U.S. House of Representatives
In July 2020, McCarthy joined 71 House Republicans and all Democrats in voting to remove Civil War-era statues.[3]
Opposition to Steve King
After the strongly conservative, anti-establishment representative Steve King made a blunt comment that was exaggerated by the media to promote the narrative of him being a “racist”, McCarthy and other House Republicans quickly stripped King of his committee assignments.[4] In mid-May 2020, McCarthy stubbornly continued to vow that King “cannot be exonerated” over the mere comment that was made.[5]
