Listen: Tim Burchett tells Kevin McCarthy he is pathetic to his face (audio)

Earlier right this moment we posted about “bully” Kevin McCarthy “shoving” and “elbowing” Rep. Tim Burchett within the again whereas the Tennessee lawmaker was speaking to NPR reporter Claudia Grisales. Since then, a recording was launched by Grisales (take heed to audio beneath, reposted on X by Aaron Fritschner).

“Hey Kevin, ya received any guts?” Burchett requested the embittered ousted speaker, earlier than muttering, “Jerk.”

“Has he accomplished that earlier than?” Girsales requested.

“No. I’m gonna discuss to him,” Burchett stated.

“Hey Kevin, why’d you go behind me and elbow me within the again?” he stated to his aggressor. “What form of hen transfer is that? You’re pathetic, man. You are so pathetic. What a jerk. You want safety, Kevin!”

This, on the identical day that Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin challenged a witness to a fist combat within the committee room, which Bernie Sanders needed to break up. Just a snapshot of what every single day on Capitol Hill will seem like if the rootin’ tootin’ MAGA occasion takes over subsequent November.
