House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said that controversies surrounding Republican Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Paul Gosar of Arizona, and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia are distractions that will cause problems for Republicans as the party focuses on winning back the House in next year’s midterm elections.

“It’s things we would not want to deal with,” McCarthy said at a press conference on Friday when asked if the three members are distractions for Republicans heading into 2022.
