After some back-and-forth, with chests puffed out, McCarthy issued a challenge to Swalwell: “Call me a pussy again, and I’ll kick your ass,” the Speaker allegedly said.

While both members told nearly identical versions of this story, they both delivered Swalwell’s response in exactly the same way.

“You. Are. A. Pussy,” Swalwell told McCarthy.

      When you look at the amount of indignity McCarthy put himself through just to get the speakership…

      Did Marjorie Taylor Greene once again call for “decorum”?

      Preach this is like some Lyndon Johnson era discourse. I usually don’t care for this type of identity politics but this story is just too juicy. McCarthy is a sad pathetic disgrace of a house speaker, he’s a sycophant for a facist and history will not be kind to his legacy. In summary: McCarthy 👏 is 👏 a 👏 pusssaaaaayyyy 👏
