Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) challenged Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) to a fight on the House floor, according to reports.
The situation turned aggressive after Swalwell blasted McCarthy over Rep. Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) censure vote.
On June 21, the day Republicans voted to censure Schiff, Swalwell was standing in the well of the House near the speaker’s podium and heckled McCarthy.
“This is pathetic,” Swalwell yelled at McCarthy, who was presiding over the House at the time.
“You’re weak. You’re a weak man.”
McCarthy was furious, with one member telling The Daily Beast, “He had a vein popping out of his forehead.”
The next day, June 22, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Capitol Hill for a joint address to Congress.
Just before Modi took the speaker’s podium, McCarthy walked up to Swalwell and said:
“If you ever say something like that to me again, I’m gonna kick the sh*t out of you.”
A member said, “They were in each other’s faces.
“Basically nose-to-nose.
“And Swalwell said something like, ‘Are we really gonna do this?’”

We can only hope.
Where is Fartwell from?
If McCarthy did that to Swalwell, Swallowswell would be the Invisible Man...
That’s Swallowell.
It bothers me that Members of Congress use any kind of vile language. They are the STANDARD by which the rest of us live. The Wrath of Man, never works the righteousness of God. Cool down.
Weak men screw Chinese spies because they can’t get anything else.
stupid behavior, if it happened.
Democrats are the scum of the earth.
What fun. Starting to look and sound like British Parliament or some third world legislatures. How appropriate considering how our country is devolving.
Will my taxes go down?
Will the Bill of Rights be defended?
Will Mary Garland and her transition to a petulant 12-year left-at-the-SCOTUS-alter girl be met with removal?
If the answer is NO to all of the above, yawn.
Dualing was for a more civilized time and people.

Good looking Chinese spies...I will leave it at that.
Well, McCarthy is weak and pathetic. He’s no Andy Jackson.
My thinking exactly. Or an empty sack. There is nothing else in Swalwell.
Isn’t this the democrat who had an ongoing affair w/a chinese spy?
Cane him, Kevin!
