What a ding-dong.

Oh yeah, I’ll bet the House Dems are gonna go right along with that dumb-ass move.

Go censure yourself, McCarthy.

There are so many other possibilities! Maybe he is just a moron with very poor impulse control! Or maybe he hates America! Or maybe he really is insane! Maybe he just like smashing other people's hard work! Maybe he gets bored after watching Fox News all day! Maybe he's helping create distractions to cover up other things the GOP is doing! And if you say ANY of that, we'll try to censure you!"

"If Democrats don’t join after listening to him lie repeatedly, it will say a lot about their priorities—putting politics over the truth."

in the wake of audio of McCarthy acknowledging
“There's two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016
