Tensions between the party leaders in the House rose to a boil on Wednesday when Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called her Republican counterpart, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), a "moron" for his opposition to wearing masks in the House.
Brian Monahan, the Capitol physician, instituted a new mask mandate for the lower chamber late Tuesday night in response to a spike in infections from the delta variant of the coronavirus. The rise in cases also prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) earlier Tuesday to push new recommendations for masking indoors, even among those who've been vaccinated.
Monahan's decision was hailed by Pelosi, who has leaned on his advice throughout the pandemic. But it met with skepticism from McCarthy, who blasted the new mandate as a Pelosi-imposed political ploy.

I thought the CDC said masks indoors only where the Delta variant is spiking. Is it spiking in the House chamber? Seems like science would tell us.
McCarthy is a moron for other reasons. He’s right about the mask mandate, but a broken clock is also right twice a day.
She’s losing her marbles. She’ll be sharing a drool bucket with Xiden soon.
Good one, Power Nazi Pelosi. A real zinger.
The evidence is in and we know who the “moron” is.
Unfortunately, he is our moron. And I would add deceitful coward to-boot.
I wouldn’t dismiss her too quickly. She had extensive experience with stupidity.
It probably is due to the Texas Dem super spreader event.
Democrats can’t stop projecting. Every word that comes out of their mouths reveal what they fear about themselves.
Who is a moron?
Masks do nothing, but moreover, nearly everyone in congress has either had the jab or the virus and thus the antibodies, so other than the potential for isolated infections, there is no chance of an outbreak (unless the vaccines don’t work).
Every message from the left is contradictory to each other. Wear masks they work (even though they don’t, not cloth masks). Get the vaccine, it works (if it works, why mask?)
When you don’t have facts, call the other side stupid.
It’s done here every day.
First it was ‘Neanderthal’ and now it is ‘moron’. Why won’t the peasants do as their betters tell them?
He’s rubber, you’re glue.................. Blah blah blah nanzi.
“Our”? No. Only if we continue to support the all-RINO wing of the Uniparty . . . which would make the Democrats “ours” too.
The bottom line is is the Democrats love the mask
It’s probably because they’re criminals or they’re ugly
Or both!
Doctor Pelosi, explain exactly how masks stop virus cells when they are a 1000 times smaller than the mesh filter? Nothing more than virtue signaling.
There must be bodies everywhere.
No doubt there are folks that are thrilled that indoor masking is once again the rule of the day. For nevaDUH, not all counties are included in the edict effective at midnight on 7/30. The following counties will have vaxxed/unvaxxed mask requirements in place:
Carson, Churchill, Clark, Douglas, Elko, Esmeralda, Lincoln, Lyon, Mineral, Nye, Washoe, White Pine.
So, Reno and Vegas are ‘covered’ in that bunch as well as Carson City.
If he had guts he'd outfit his caucus with MAGA masks.
