CNN’s Laura Coates wanted no a part of the image that Adam Kinzinger painted on Tuesday’s Laura Coates Live.

The previous congressman reacted to an anecdote from former Rep. Liz Cheney, whose new memoir recalls an interaction she had with Rep. Kevin McCarthy in early 2021.

Just weeks after the Jan. 6 Capitol rebel, which Donald Trump incited through falsely claiming the 2020 election used to be stolen from him, McCarthy visited the previous president at his Mar-a-Lago property.

“Mar-a-Lago? What the hell, Kevin?” Cheney said she asked McCarthy, who just weeks before blamed Trump for the rebellion.

“They’re in reality involved,” he answered. “Trump’s not eating, in order that they requested me to come see him.”

“You went to Mar-a-Lago because Trump’s now not consuming?” she inquired.

“Yeah. He’s actually depressed,” got here the reply.

Kinzinger said that McCarthy kissing Trump’s ring was well worth the hassle for him as a result of he not directly obtained Trump’s backing for speaker when Republicans retook the Home in January 2023.

“He was speaker and he will without end be known as ‘Speaker Kevin McCarthy,’” Kinzinger said. “Now, used to be it value it for the united states of america? Was it value it for the price to your own personal soul, I guess? I don’t assume so.”

He then ran afoul of Coates:

KINZINGER: It’s humorous as a result of as Jamie’s speaking about him pronouncing, you know, he’s not eating. First of off, the idea of Kevin taking place there and feeding Donald Trump in his mouth is rather like, blows me away.

COATES: I’m too–

KINZINGER: There’s gotta be a cool animated film for it.

COATES: I’m too visual for that. Please. I’m too visual for that picture right now. I will’t! Go ahead.

McCarthy’s claim that Trump was once so demoralized with the aid of his election loss that he was no longer eating used to be met with surprise and skepticism through CNN’s on-air talent throughout Tuesday.

Watch above by the use of CNN.
