WASHINGTON<\/strong> \u2013 House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy told fellow GOP lawmakers shortly after the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection that he would urge then-President Donald Trump to resign, according to audio posted by The New York Times and aired on Rachel Maddow\u2019s MSNBC show.
\u201cI asked him personally today, does he hold responsibility for what happened? Does he feel bad about what happened? He told me he does have some responsibility for what happened, and he needs to acknowledge that,\u201d McCarthy said.
The recording was released by The New York Times a part of their upcoming book \u201cThis Will Not Pass\u201d.
In the book, reporter\u2019s Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns write McCarthy told fellow Republicans \u201cI\u2019ve had it with this guy\u201d, and planned to urge Trump to resign.
\u201cThe only discussions I would have with him is that I think will pass, and it would be my recommendation you should resign,\u201d McCarthy said.
This contradicts previous statements by McCarthy saying \u201cThe New York Time\u2019s reporting on me is totally false and wrong\u201d.

As to who made the recording and leaked it, Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney who can be heard on the tape, denies it was her.
\u201cAre you hearing that he might resign? Is there any reason to think that might happen,\u201d Cheney said.
McCarthy replies, \u201cI\u2019ve had a few discussions My gut tells me no. I\u2019m seriously thinking of having that conversation with him tonight. I haven\u2019t talked to him in a couple of days.\u201d
President Joe Biden addressed the recordings during his trip to the West Coast on Friday.
\u201cThis ain\u2019t your father\u2019s Republican party, no a joke, all you have to look at what is played this morning that the tape that was released. This is MAGA party, these guys are a different breed of cat,\u201d Biden said.
ABC News does report that Trump and McCarthy did talk after the audio recordings were released. Sources say that Trump was not particularly upset with McCarthy because he believe it shows that he still has a grip on the GOP.
Both Trump and McCarthy have not spoke publicly about those audio tapes yet.
