Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett, who voted to oust McCarthy as Speaker, got into a heated altercation after a closed-door GOP meeting.
As McCarthy and Burchett were leaving the closed-door meeting, McCarthy reportedly bumped into the back of Burchett, to which the Tennessee Republican responded by saying “Hey Kevin, have some guts” and also called him a “jerk.”
“I was doing an interview with Claudia from NPR, a lovely lady and when she was asking me a question and at that time I got elbowed in the back. And it kind of caught me off guard because it was a clean shot to the kidneys. And I turned back and there was Kevin, and I, for me, that guy was kind of what the heck just happened and then I you know, I chased after him, of course, sees because I’ve stated many times he’s a, he’s a bully with $7 million and security detail,” Burchett said in an interview after the incident.
“You know, he’s the type of guy that when you’re a kid with door rock, open the fence and run home and hide behind his Mama’s skirt. And he just, you know, he from behind that kind of stuff that you know, it’s not the way we handle things in Tennessee, we have a problem so I’m gonna look him in the eye,” Burchett added.

What’s a door rock? A rock used as a door stop? I don’t get it.
Great, now the US is officially balkanized
Threw a rock over the fence. (from the audio)...
TBH, none of this surprises me. We do not send our “best” to D.C. (or any political office).
Tim Burchett either talks funny or this was not recorded correctly.
Yes, and power has power over the individual:.
Did this happen literally, and as described, or is the writer overthinking and exaggerating with metaphors?
That is still hysterical and always will be.
“There are two political parties: MAGA and everybody else.”
***********
I’ve said before on this forum that if a new conservative party were to arise we would have a real two party system.
I like the way you put it.
That was a really bad Daily Caller transcript — probably was AI. Saved them from actual humans transcribing, but it was awful.
my take:
“I got elbowed in the back, it kinda took me off guard cause it was a clean shot to the kidneys....He’s a bully with 17 million dollars and a security detail. You know he’s the type of guy that, when you’re a kid would throw a rock over the fence and run home and hide behind his momma’s skirt. And he just, you know, from behind, and that kind of stuff, that’s not the way we handle things in east Tennessee. We, if we have a problem with somebody, I’m gonna look them in the eye, and talk to them.”
Okay. Thanks, Zipper.
That pussy hides behind his security detail like a mommy’s boy. What a little faggot, and I mean faggot. Just look at his gay roommate. McCarthy needs to be stripped of his security detail, censured and removed from every committee. Treat him like a freshman backbencher. I can’t stand that leftist piece of chit. He’s all about America last. He needs to be last.
The audio of it happening is on X. McCarthy is a spoiled establishment horses a$$.
Thanks.
If this went down as reported, and I appears it did based on a witness statement I saw on X/Twitter, then McCarthy is a complete chicken(poo).
Which we sort of already knew. This just cements it.
Thank you Congressman Gaetz for your service and bravery in ending McCarthy’s ineffective run as Speaker.
Go to the tapes, the halls all have cameras.
Oh that’s right, McCarthy won’t release the tapes.
