'Putin pays Trump' was a joke, but it was a joke that shows GOP congressional leaders don't put America first -- Business Insider

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy with House Speaker Paul Ryan.

But consider, for a second, why McCarthy would have thought this joke, which came to light Wednesday, would be funny.
