McCarthy Denies Physical Altercation: ‘Nobody Got Punched’
Breitbart ^ | 11/19/2023 | Pam Key

Representative Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said on this week’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that “nobody got punched” while discussing Rep. Tim Burchett’s (R-TN) accusations against him.

Last week, Burchett said that McCarthy struck him in the kidneys with his elbow.

Anchor Maria Bartiromo said, “Did you elbow Tim Burchett in the ribs or in the back?”

Can’t punch “in the kidneys” with one punch as one kidney is on each side of the body.


In 1856:
The Senate had just adjourned on May 22, 1856, when Representative Preston Brooks entered its chamber carrying a cane. The pro-slavery southerner walked over to Senator Charles Sumner, whacked him in the head with the cane and then proceeded to beat the anti-slavery northerner unconscious.

From History website:
The caning of Charles Sumner is probably the most famous violent attack in Congress, but it is far from the only one. In the three decades leading up to the Civil War, there were more than 70 violent incidents between congressmen, writes Yale history professor Joanne B. Freeman in The Field of Blood: Violence in Congress and the Road to the Civil War.

20th Century. Puerto Ricans entered....
Gunfire erupted on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives on March 1, 1954, when four Puerto Rican nationalists shot at random from the spectators’ galleries, shouting “Viva Puerto Rico libre!”—“Long live free Puerto Rico!” Five members of Congress were injured, one seriously.

Video....

Following a grudge held over from an argument at Wal Mart....

No member of the current Congress or Senate that I know of could withstand either woman. Used to be Gulf War later vet or two but I can’t recall current ones in office.

As a service to Free Republic, I pulled a few strings and got some security camera shots of the McCarthy / Burchett fight.

Yes. She asked if he elbowed him.

I take his (non)response as a yes.

“...in the ribs, or in the back?”
A trap door question.

Not sure how to describe McCarthy, but my spider sense tells me he’s either a snake or a weasel. Regardless as to which, I think he’s definitely a douche.

Our Congressman gave us a tour of the House and showed us damage from the PR attack. Also got to see the silver inkstand up close. Louie Gohmert & Steve King had just finished & we couldn’t be on the floor while in session.

When that guy got beaten unconscious with a cane it was a new meaning for being “on the House floor.”
