re: Kevin McCarthy allegedly sucker punched Tim Burchett in the kidney today

How does a closeted gay man make it to the top of the Republican House in the first place?

Shirley, you can't be serious.

Just seems like the complaint should’ve been filed by the parties involved and/or someone who actually witnessed the exchange.

Just my opinion.

I like Gaetz—my comment was semi-sardonic—I’m just a little surprised he penned a letter, that’s all.

Facts.
I’m no McCarthy fan, trust me.

Wrong. Burchett besides making comment when asked after the story makes the rounds, is a man who after addressing the coward, is ready to move on.

I'm glad it takes a Gaetz, a disruptor that isn't out to let the status quo go on as the norm in the slimy Swamp.

The Left has plenty of count like Schiff, Chuck, Nancy,etc..

The Right needs it's pricks and prickettes too. Gaetz, MTG,etc.

Sucker punches appear to be the standard arsenal for him. Look at the most recent Speaker race.

Burchett is a man of faith. He's a guy that will pray for McCarthy after he regains his composure. McCarthy is lucky he didn't decide to put him in the ground though.

Have NEVER seen this on Capitol Hill:

While talking to @RepTimBurchett after the GOP conference meeting, former @SpeakerMcCarthy 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...
Burchett's back was to McCarthy and his detail walking by in the hallway, then the lunge.

Burchett responded jokingly as McCarthy kept walking, "Sorry Kevin didn't mean to elbow --" then seriously yelled, "why'd you elbow me in the back Kevin?! Hey Kevin, you got any guts!?"
Burchett then looked back at me and said, "jerk" referring to McCarthy. I asked if he had done that before, Burchett said "no."

That's when the chase ensued. Burchett took off after McCarthy and his detail. I chased behind with my mic.

@RepTimBurchett yelled after catching up to McCarthy, "Hey Kevin, why'd you walk behind me and elbow me in the back?"

KM: "I didn't elbow you in the back."

Burchett: "You got no guts, you did so, ...the reporter said it right there, what kind of chicken move is that..."
Burchett con't: "You got no guts, you did so, ...the reporter said it right there, what kind of chicken move is that? You're pathetic man, you are so pathetic."

Burchett starts to walk away from McCarthy, tells me, "What a jerk," and then yells back, "You need security Kevin!"
Burchett tells me that's the first point of "communication" with McCarthy since Burchett voted for McCarthy's ouster as speaker last month:

"That's just it" for communication since ouster vote, "He's just a jerk. He's just a childish little..."

Burchett adds, "did you just see that?" he asks in disbelief. I'm stunned, too.

Says he won't follow up with McCarthy on what happened, "he's on a downhill spiral... he just, that was pretty gutless of him. I'm disappointed in his, in him."
Burchett reiterates he hasn't talked to McCarthy since he voted against him.

"No, no that was it. That's it. He's got $17 million to work against me. And he's just a -- he should have kept his word. I think that just showed what he's about and it's unfortunate."

These guys act like JrHigh punks. Listen to the audio:
GOP rifts boil over in exchange between Reps. McCarthy and Burchett

I'm serious too. Just saying he's faaaar from the first.

What percentage of Republican congressman are gay?

Reading that they both sound like 12 year olds and sadly involved with running the country.
