REVEALED: Kevin McCarthy Admits renting luxury DC apartment from powerful GOP pollster Frank Luntz, who Tucker Carlson has accused of being a secret LIBERAL
The most senior Republican in the House is renting his Washington DC home from a high-profile GOP pollster who has been accused of lobbying on behalf of 'liberal' causes, it emerged on Monday.
GOP house leader Kevin McCarthy is staying at the Penn Quarter condo owned by Frank Luntz.
Luntz, 59, runs a successful Republican polling and communications company, but in January declared that he no longer felt able to call himself a Republican.
On Friday Carlson said senior Republicans were disconnected from their supporters partly because they listen to 'conventional liberals' like Luntz, whom he accused of serving 'left-wing corporations'.
Most members of Congress rent or buy property in Washington DC, for when Congress is in session. Some stay in hotels, but most avoid staying with friends out of concern for ethics rules forbidding the acceptance of gifts.
He said that Luntz works for companies that oppose the Republican Party.

I think that McCarthy has Luntz in to speak to Repub congressmen, sharing his 'focus group polling' and telling them what Repubs need to be saying, far more damning. The apt is just icing.
'Trojan Horse' Luntz doesn't belong anywhere near nor should be patronized by Repubs.
