Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) suggested to CNN that former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was lying about not elbowing Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN).
Said Buck: “Kevin McCarthy and lying are like peanut butter and jelly.”
He added: “He doesn’t hold any leadership position now. He is a rank-and-file Congressman like me, and it’s got to be upsetting to him. And so he took it out, in the way he took it out, and now he denies it.”
Joe Perticone: “There is well-documented evidence that McCarthy engages in this kind of behavior. He reportedly shoulder-checked former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and nearly fought Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) in the bathroom during a recent address to Congress by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”
