McCarthy had this to say on the potential future implications of allowing recess appointments under Trump:

“But unlike President Trump, I’m worried that President Gavin Newsom say that at some point down the road brings in a bunch of left wing whack jobs who could never, ever get confirmed in normal circumstances, but will use that as precedent. I mean, that’s what you’re looking at if you do something like this and it’s utterly unnecessary. It just as a practical matter, I know you’ve dealt with the politics of this, but I think that’s the most important thing. If you have 53 Republican senators and you think you need an artifice to get someone confirmed that someone who shouldn’t be nominated.”
