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?’”

You went to the wayback machine for that one! I was thinking how about a duel but yours is better. You must be a history buff.
In the real world Kevin would have old man strength kicking and the assumed experience of being in more fights than Swallbitch.
The Deep State of his day, likely payed a man to Assassinate Jackson. B0TH Revolvers, worked, but failed to go off. Jackson then proceeded to whack him with his Cain. He also took a bullet in the Chest in a duel, walked off the field, and carried the Bullet to his grave.
If they get to you, it shows you care.
McCarthy should have just put into the record all of the rules of decorum Swalwell broke insulting another member of Congress on the House floor. As a matter of course, keeping totally cool while doing so.
He needs to be able to do this as Speaker.
Ah for the good old days of Code Duello! Pistols at twenty paces! Leave the swords to the Europeans, Knives to the Arkies!

gang bang?
Makes McCarthy look weak. He should have had Swalwell escorted out of the chamber.
UFC Main Event
Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg
Kevin McCarthy vs Eric Swalwell
Poo****.
Sissy slapping on c-span.
In the real world Kevin wouldnt have been talking about “next time”….. Swallowell shouldve just been bitch slapped. He wouldve known what it was for. Then the fun begins.
—> They are the STANDARD by which the rest of us live.
I consider Congress the anti-standard
I’d love the opportunity to deck Swallowswell.
I’d relish it.
Perhaps this could be scheduled as an opening bout on the Musk-Zuckerberg card.
YouTube has some great vids of fights in the S Korean Parliament.
Punches and chairs being thrown.
LOL
It’s just kabuki theater for idiots. Kelly McCarthy can only prove herself by impeaching Biden which she won’t do because she’s a GOPe surrender monkey.
True enough, although it serves to remind McCarthy that you cannot "reach across the aisle", you cannot negotiate with people whose opening negotiation position -- if not their primary objective -- is the destruction of the Republican Party and of our Constitutional Republic. It's time to go on offense -- and stay on effective, no-nonsense offense as long as possible -- to neutralize the Democrat/Communist Party's incessant attacks on America, on Americans and on Liberty (i.e., do your effin' job, Ken ol' boy!)
a real slap fest I bet,,,
It’s a pretty well-known incident. Three other posters referred to it as well.
