House Democrats urged Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to apologize to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) after joking that it would be “hard not to hit” her with a gavel if Republicans take back the House in midterm elections next year, during a speech on Saturday night.
One withering glance from Nancy, and Qevin would wet himself. Repeatedly.
This wasn’t some hot-mic moment caught while Qevin was talking to another GQP member in the coat room. He was in front of 1,400 Qanon supporters with live mics.
Shame on him.
”McCarthy issued a quip about Pelosi by joking that it would be ‘hard not to hit her’ with the gavel if he becomes House speaker.”
The only thing McCarthy is gonna be hitting after the 2022 midterms is bottom.
Coward McQarthy says what now?
After McCarthy and other Republicans protested a mask mandate that the Capitol physician reinstated, which Pelosi expressed support for, the House speaker said that the minority leader is “such a moron” during a press conference.
Even Politifact is calling this comment 100% correct. With a ding…ding….ding and a “what she said”. I believe that’s a first for them. In fact, it broke their truth-o-meter.
He seems certain he would get it if R’s take House. I’m not.
McCarthy is reckless, stupid, malleable, unethical, corruptible, and impotent in so many ways. That makes him worthless as a leader, and less so as a human being.
Now, what was that word again?
Oh, yeah! “Deplorable!”
It appears the only person who doesn’t know he’ll never be Speaker is Kevin McCarthy. I must say, it’s a pretty weird spectacle to watch.
This article uses the words “statesman” and “leader.” Neither belongs in an description of Kevin McCarthy.
I’m beginning to think he’s as stupid as Louis Gohmert, Mean-Girl Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.
I got some “jokes” for this motherfucker.
Somehow I don’t think you’d say that, Qev, if she was a he.
“Pelosi Republicans” might catch on—in a good way!
As to his stupid remark about hitting her with the gavel; he is such a child.
Would it make me misogynistic if I kinda hope she beats Qevin to death with one of those stiletto heeled shoes she wears?
I wish she’d simply stick a knee hard in his crotch and then simply say: “He threatened me.”
I can almost hear Nancy Pelosi’s response to this dunce’s remarks:
“Well, that’s exactly the kind of talk I would expect from a coward like Kevin McCarthy. Besides, I don’t need a gavel to kick his ass.”
To heck with the GQP death cult. Every last one of them. When are insurance companies going to deny them coverage for COVID treatment?
Many of us quarantined away from our families to protect the ones we love. We counted the risk factors of our children, our elderly parents, our spouses, and came up with our own formulas to decide whether to come home at the end of the shift or hole up in a hotel room. One of our ICU directors wrote and rewrote our COVID-19 clinical guidelines to keep up with the evolving literature and somehow she carved out the time to write her own will.
I worked daily to adapt our end-of-life program to the changing needs and restrictions of the pandemic and signed up for a vaccine clinical trial as soon as one became available. I also updated my own advance directive and printed it out for my husband, just in case.
…
I am angry that the tragic scenes of prior surges are being played out yet again, but now with ICUs primarily filled with patients who have chosen not to be vaccinated. I am angry that it takes me over an hour to explain to an anti-vaxxer full of misinformation that intubation isn’t what “kills patients” and that their wish for chest compressions without intubation in the event of a respiratory arrest makes no sense. I am angry at those who refuse to wear “muzzles” when grocery shopping for half an hour a week, as I have been so-called “muzzled” for much of the past 18 months.
I cannot understand the simultaneous decision to not get vaccinated and the demand to end the restrictions imposed by a pandemic. I cannot help but recoil as if I’ve been slapped in the face when my ICU patient tells me they didn’t get vaccinated because they “just didn’t get around to it.” Although such individuals do not consider themselves anti-vaxxers, their inaction itself is a decision — a decision to not protect themselves or their families, to fill a precious ICU bed, to let new variants flourish, and to endanger the health care workers and immunosuppressed people around them. Their inaction is a decision to let this pandemic continue to rage.
And meanwhile, immunocompromised people, for whom vaccines don’t generate much immunity, are desperately waiting for herd immunity. I have no way to comfort my rightfully outraged transplant patients who contracted COVID-19 after isolating for over a year and getting fully vaccinated as soon as they could. With angry tears, these patients tell me it’s not fair that there are people who are choosing to endanger both themselves and the vulnerable people around them. They feel betrayed by their fellow citizens and they are bitter and angry. I cannot blame them.
I am at a loss to understand how anyone can look at these past months of the pandemic — more than 600,000 lives lost in the U.S. and more than 4 million worldwide — and not believe it’s real or take it seriously. But the unhappy truth is that there are people who do not. They did not in the beginning and many are doubling down now.
The undescended testicles would lessen the damage potential.
Kevin isn’t man enough to apologize.
