Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was booed Saturday afternoon in Casper, Wyoming, during a Donald Trump rally. The heckling began just as McCarthy appeared virtually to endorse Liz Cheney’s MAGA-loving (and Trump-endorsed) primary challenger Harriet Hageman. “Hello, Wyoming. I’m Kevin McCarthy,” he said as Trump supporters began booing him. McCarthy’s office didn’t return The Daily Beast’s request for comment on Saturday evening. Last month, tensions between Trump and McCarthy boiled over after The New York Times published tapes of the minority leader vowing to push Trump to step down as president after the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.
