It appears the representative from Utah’s 2nd Congressional District is carrying on a proud Republican tradition.

Sen. Joseph McCarthy, 1950: “I have in my hand a list of 205 individuals who appear to be either card-carrying members or certainly loyal to the Communist Party.”

Rep. Chris Stewart, 2019: “I’m holding here in my hand a binder of 25 examples of leaks that occurred from the special counsel’s office.”
