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?’”

Like Swallwell doesn’t know that Schiff like for years about Trump.
*lied
Careful - you’ll get gassed.
Why not shake his hand and break every finger? There are easy techniques that can turn a handshake into immobilization. McCarthy could have even concealed a wrist lock from the cameras and made it appear Swallow collapsed of his own accord.
Female spies have to be good looking to be successful at getting info from their dupes.
I’ve actually been looking for the day when someone takes a swing at someone on the House floor live on CSpan and it turns into a Geraldo style live televised freeforall with chairs flying, etc.
Congressional Cage Match. Loser Leaves Washington Pay-Per-View.
I hear you, but don't ever run for ******* office.
If only Frank Luntz hadn’t swallowed his testicles...
Girl fight!!!!!!!!? A veritable slaporama! Any pay per view up yet? 😂😂😂😂😂
When did the chicom spy take our side?
I think McCarthy could take that swish.
McCarthy got in his face and told him “if you talk to me like that again, i’ll kick your ass”.
Swallowwell called him a pussy and McCarthy walked away.
I would be happy to stand in for McCarthy and pound the shit out of Swallowwell.
Ditto what you said. I agree 100%.
Very true. Mata Hari comes to mind.
Kevin McCarthy 5’11” 165 pounds and 58 years of age
Eric Swalwell 5’9” 160 pounds and 43 years of age
That two inches and five pounds could be an advantage to the Speaker, but those 13 years will work to the Speaker’s disadvantage.
This has to be a joke, right?
Too bad McCarthy didn’t fold this POS Swallowitall’s teeth back.
