MMA - Swalwell and Mccarthy?

[esquared]

This allegedly happened last month.

Swalwell called the speaker a pussy and mccarthy responded, "call me that again and I'll kick you ass."

Eric Swalwell Called Kevin McCarthy A 'P***y' During House Dust-Up: Report

Things got heated between the California politicians after a recent vote to censure Rep. Adam Schiff.

Apparently Swalwell did and mccarthy blinked.
Ha ha ha ha.

"
Two lawmakers who witnessed the spat told The Daily Beast that McCarthy ended the exchange with a cold, 10-second stare.
The next day, the California politicians continued to go at it, according to the lawmakers’ accounts.
During Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the capital, witnesses say they saw McCarthy confront Swalwell while the Democrat was making his way to the bathroom.
One politician remembers McCarthy telling his rival, “If you ever say something like that to me again, I’m gonna kick the shit out of you.”
Swalwell was reportedly ready to take McCarthy up on his challenge, as another politician claims they heard him ask, “Are we really gonna do this?”
According to the sources, McCarthy bit back saying, “Call me a pussy again, and I’ll kick your ass.”
Both witnesses claim Swalwell responded with profane precision, telling McCarthy, “You. Are. A. Pussy.
A brief stare-down ensued before McCarthy finally let Swalwell pass, according to onlookers."

What a wimp.

While Swalwell’s choice of words may be regrettable, the point stands. McCarthy is being led around by Marjorie Taylor Greene. Marjorie. Taylor. Greene. Let that sink in. If being controlled by a deranged psycho who doesn’t know her ass from her elbow isn’t the definition of weakness, I don’t know what is.

It's sad really. I remember seeing several times over the years where politicians in foreign countries got into fist fights. I always thought, thank God we are more civilized than that in the states.

It's not just other countries-fist fights and far worse are replete in the history of the Congress. Here's a pretty interesting read:

19th century congressman went to work carrying pistols and bowie knives—and sometimes used them on colleagues.

Pistols at 3 paces sounds acceptable.

I don’t have any problem with the word he used if it was just repeating what pissy pants said.

We all know including our most dedicated right posters that McCarthy is a cuck. Trump treated him like a nice little dog completely emasculated McCarthy, now Ms. Green. McCarthy is a weak Cuck. He would never and has never been in a physical altercation. He has no idea what it feels like to be punched in the face and that is exactly why Swawell had no fear doubling down.

Poor McCarthy. It's one thing to for people to point out how you really feel about yourself, but it's a lot worse when you're life is proof of it.

Best thing if a fight did actually break out, Repugnicans would vote to remove from congress Swalwell but give a medal to the spineless one.

"Two members of the House of Representatives fought in a fatal 1838 duel, when Kentucky Representative William Jordan Graves killed Maine Representative Jonathan Cilley. Graves was sent to deliver a dueling invitation from New York newspaper editor James Webb, but he wound up fighting Cilley. The Supreme Court boycotted the funeral in protest."

"Perhaps the oddest duel was between Secretary of State Henry Clay and Senator John Randolph in 1826. A known hothead, Randolph accused Clay of “crucifying the Constitution and cheating at cards” in a speech on the Senate floor.
Randolph was a much better dueler and didn’t want to kill the Secretary of State, so he worked with another chronic dueler, Thomas Hart Benton, to purposely miss the first shot, so Clay would end the duel.
But Randolph’s pistol misfired just before the duel, and after Clay demanded that the duel continue, Randolph shot at Clay and just missed. Clay then shot and missed twice. Randolph went back to his original plan and shot above Clay. Cooler heads prevailed, and the two politicians shook hands and ended the duel."

Button Gwinnett, who signed the Declaration of Independence, died in a 1777 duel with Lachlan McIntosh. After the killing, McIntosh was then sent to serve under George Washington as a leader in the Continental Army."
