The president spoke with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Monday, and during their 30-minute-plus conversation, Trump blamed “Antifa people” for the deadly riots, according to Axios, which cited a White House official and another source familiar with the call. The FBI has found no evidence antifa instigated the rioting, the agency said Friday.
McCarthy, during the conversation, pushed back on the president’s notion, reportedly saying, "It's not antifa, it's MAGA. I know. I was there.” The conversation was tense at times, and at one point, the minority leader stopped the president while he was discussing election fraud to say, “Stop it. It's over. The election is over."
