A North Carolina newspaper criticized former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, saying he is “emerging as a disgrace.”
Meadows served as the representative for North Carolina’s 11th district from 2013 to 2020.
“When will the N.C. Republican Party censure Mark Meadows?” The News and Observer wrote in an op-ed titled, “Mark Meadows is an embarrassment to NC. Congress should take a hard line with him.”
It continues, “The answer, of course, is never. But that won’t hide the embarrassment that Meadows is for his party or for the state he represented in Congress for seven years.”
The newspaper argued Meadows is “emerging as a disgrace during a dangerous hour for U.S. democracy.”
The editorial board noted Meadows has sued to block the January 6 committee’s subpoenas against him as “overly broad and unduly burdensome.”
The authors pointed out Meadows has “turned over thousands of pages of documents to the committee, but is withholding some 1,000 text messages.”
Mentioning his new book, the op-ed explains, “Meadows delivers a mostly air-brushed version of his time in the White House, but he does reveal that Trump tested positive for COVID three days before a presidential debate with Joe Biden, but Trump went anyway.”
