Rep. Kevin McCarthy is under fire tonight for his “joking” comments about hitting Speaker Nancy Pelosi with a gavel. “He should be ashamed,” @Ilhan tells @MehdiRHasan, “His resignation should be called for by every single member of Congress.”

Rep McCarthy should resign and double his therapy sessions. He is an odd egg.
I bet Pelosi hits harder the he does! The coward was BEGGING the coup leader to call off his goons on Jan 6th and now he thinks he's a tough guy!
Y'all keep focusing on frivolous bullsh*t and see how far that gets you.
We know exactly how they would react if Illhan made a joke like this, they would be calling for her expulsion and 15 "Centerists" Dems would write a letter condemning her b/c she is Muslim. Republicans arent the "Grest Moral" party anymore, they are the party of Jewish Lazers
McCarthy will play the victim and wait until the media moves on to something else. None of these people will ever face consequences for any of the harm they do, and his words will open the door to even more threats of violence.

Absolutely absurd. McCarthy should be condemned for many things: his dishonesty, hypocrisy and support of the Big Lie. But, fainting over an offhand joke is what makes many people recoil at the "D" next to a candidate's name.
Ashamed, what a quaint 19th century concept - Kevin McCarthy spokesman.
He said it because Trump was there and he’s a sadist so McCarthy knows those jokes will deeply please him
