McCarthy: “When I Hit Somebody, They Will Know It”

CNN reports:

GOP Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee accused former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of elbowing him in the back Tuesday morning while Burchett was talking to a reporter, the latest sign of how tense the dynamics are in the House GOP conference. McCarthy denied the incident to CNN, saying, “I didn’t shove or elbow him. It’s a tight hallway.” When asked about McCarthy’s denials and his claim that the hallway was tight and it was an accident, Burchett said it wasn’t a serious explanation.

When asked about McCarthy’s denials and his claim that the hallway was tight and it was an accident, Burchett said it wasn’t a serious explanation. “There’s 435 congressmen, I was one of the eight that voted against him.

I’m sure it’ll just be a little asterix on his storied career,” he said.
