Wut.
Via NPR’s Claudia Grisales:
Have NEVER seen this on Capitol Hill:
While talking to Rep Tim Burchett after the GOP conference meeting, #McCarthy walked by with his detail and McCarthy shoved Burchett. Burchett lunged towards me. I thought it was a joke, it was not. And a chase ensued 1/…
2/ Kyle Cheney has more:
Today in the people's House:
-A former speaker elbows a detractor in the back and gets into a schoolyard shouting match
-A prominent member accuses another member of the same party of lacking balls and then posts a Trump gif calling him a "pussy."
3/ Via Aaron Rupar:
Burchett says he's still in pain from McCarthy hitting him and adds: "I just don't expect a guy who was at one time three steps away from the White House to hit you with a sucker punch in the hallway."
@GottaLaff Such a unique way to elevate political discourse.
@WarnerCrocker Did you see the video I posted? Omg, these people are nothing but thugs.
Could not see any video you linked in this thread, Laffy.
@HistoPol Different thread. @WarnerCrocker
@GottaLaff @HistoPol The way this day (and age) is going, pick a thread, any thread and you’ll see the thugs thugging.
@WarnerCrocker True dat, Warner. @HistoPol
