WATCH: Kevin McCarthy has a day-after meltdown about 'decorum' because Pelosi called Trump racist


Published 1 min ago on July 17, 2019
By Brad Reed

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) got visibly angry on the floor of the House of Representatives on Wednesday because House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called President Donald Trump’s attacks on four Democratic congresswomen racist one day before.

In denouncing the speaker, McCarthy bitterly complained that the Democrats have shown a disregard for “decorum” when they called out Trump for being racist.

“Yesterday, we did a resolution attacking the president, but we couldn’t even get to that because, Madame Speaker, we couldn’t even have decorum in this body!” he said. “We set a record that we’ve never seen before based upon a Speaker’s actions! The very first page in Thomas Jefferson’s manual talks about decorum, but not only did this body try to change the rules after the fact, they don’t think everybody’s equal, Madame Speaker, because if your words get taken down, you don’t have a right to speak that day but, no, we should change that!”

McCarthy then accused the Democrats of not doing anything productive and instead focusing its efforts on having contempt of Congress votes for Attorney General Bill Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. He also knocked the Democrats for having former special counsel Robert Mueller testify publicly about his findings on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Crying like babies about "decorum" when they have the most ignorant, loud-mouthed, belligerent, unstatesman-like so-called statesman leading the way for the white supremacist movement. They praise him for his lack of decorum and then complain that Dems have no decorum. FRAUDS!! All of you bastards.

Trump and Rohrbacher'?"

That should be a Democrats response every time this asshole opens his FAT TRAP with bullshit like this on the House Floor.

But no, we have too much decorum for that.

actually acted with decorum when he spoke or tweeted. I dare you to name a single date since he was sworn in. Can't do it, can you. Thought so.
