ANAHEIM, Calif.—House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) urged conservatives to oppose policies that have led to soaring gas prices and inflation, rising crime and fentanyl deaths, and political activism in public schools at a California Republican Party Convention in Anaheim, Calif., over the weekend.

McCarthy praised Trump, bashed Democratic Party policies, and took a few jabs at the news media at a convention banquet on April 23. He alluded to news coverage alleging that he and other establishment Republicans had conspired to push then-President Donald Trump to resign after last year’s Jan. 6 protests in Washington, D.C.
