Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy a "moron" Wednesday when asked about his comment that mask mandates for vaccinated people are against the science.

"Make no mistake—The threat of bringing masks back is not a decision based on science, but a decision conjured up by liberal government officials who want to continue to live in a perpetual pandemic state," McCarthy said Tuesday in reaction to new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance.

Asked to react to McCarthy's comment Wednesday, Pelosi responded: "He's such a moron."

The Pelosi comment underscores the uniquely hostile relationship between her and McCarthy. Her cheif spokesperson even doubled down on the "moron" comment in a subsequent tweet.

"Unfortunately, we can't verify this audio because of poor quality, but I can confirm that the Speaker believes that saying a mask requirement is ‘not a decision based on science’ is moronic," Spokesman Drew Hammill said.

“Civility”

[Durbin]

At this point I have to ask. Is McCarthy going to ever do something besides run his mouth?

[LIConFem]

It’s like two morons having a debate over which pile of mud looks tastier.

[Steely Tom]

Pelosi descends to the level of debate at which she is comfortable. That is, if she can’t shut it down by censorship or murder.

“He’s such a moron.”

Wow. Her logic for wearing masks is irrefutable.

[romanesq]

They’re out of bullets.

[AppyPappy]

“cheif”

[Lurkinanloomin]

Believing that men can be women and have babies doesn’t follow science, either, just sayin’

[CodeToad]

I’d return the favor and call her a Batty Old Bimbo.

[AppyPappy]

This would all get solved by Republicans wearing Trump Won masks

[Lurkinanloomin]

This is more kabuki theater designed to prop up McCarthy among Republican voters.

Yep, only the pile is not mud.

Is that the best you can do, you lying criminal?

And she’s a despotic fascist. Change my mind.

Now that is projection.

From someone well acquainted with moronic behavior.

I would be so happy to see Congress drop the so-called phony “civility” and start being honest and frank. I’d really like to see them start carrying walking canes again. CSPAN would become “must see TV!”
