CNN: McCarthy jokes ‘it will be hard not to hit’ Pelosi with gavel if he becomes House speaker
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy joked at a Saturday night event that it “will be hard not to hit” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with the speaker’s gavel if Republicans take control of the chamber in the 2022 midterms and he becomes speaker.
Threatening violence against the Speaker of the House is never funny.
Kevin McCarthy on Nancy Pelosi handing him the gavel next year: "It will be hard not to hit her with it.”
In case Dems needed a extra push to work to keep the House and stop this creep from ever regaining that gavel. https://t.co/3aeXh4tYjG
