The main article calls it an "attack" on the Capitol. Is that really accurate or mere rhetoric aimed at baling political hay for Democrats? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.27.38 (talk) 15:37, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How many children

McCormick says he has six children (daughters), but the Wikipedia article says he only four children. So which is it? Why the descrepancy? 173.79.45.183 (talk) 22:58, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He's on his second marriage, so I would venture he has some biological children and some step children. This press release supports that, but doesn't say how many bio and how many step. I can't find a reliable source for any of this. Marquardtika (talk) 20:02, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

stop denying the election

McCormick won, stop being election deniers Hthompson2000 (talk) 16:49, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
