Kevin McCarthy should be censured for threatening violence against Speaker Pelosi. Unacceptable.

Who else thinks Kevin McCarthy must resign for “joking” about assaulting Speaker Pelosi?

Dear @GOPLeader McCarthy: Don’t you think America has had enough political violence? You should never be encouraging or threatening or joking about causing violence to anyone, including the Speaker of the House. You need to apologize for your statement, or resign. https://t.co/jdP2bcmr5c

Answer me this: if @GOPLeader McCarthy thinks anyone but Trump was responsible for January 6, why is Trump the ONLY person McCarthy contacted to call off the attack? McCarthy didn’t call @SpeakerPelosi or Antifa, etc to stop it. He knew then and he knows now.

Jake Tapper tells Susan Collins that, "Jim Jordan could be a material witness" for speaking to the Former Guy on January 6th, which is 𝙒𝙃𝙔 Speaker Pelosi vetoed him from the select committee.

Susan Collins' reply is that many people talked to the Former Guy that day. Ok 🙃
NEW: tonight Kevin McCarthy said, if elected Speaker, "It will be hard not to hit” Pelosi with the gavel.

“Joking” about assaulting the Speaker of the House — who his rabid base literally just stormed the Capitol to try to murder.
It’s really disgusting that no Republican has the testicular fortitude to condemn Kevin McCarthy’s joke of violent attacks on Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Speaker Pelosi used her courage and moral compass to lead us to pass the Violence Against Woman Act. Kevin McCarthy thinks joking about hitting a woman is funny. When someone shows you who they are, believe them. https://t.co/AZQxM6sNU0

America has suffered enough violence around politics. @GOPLeader McCarthy is now a would-be assailant of @SpeakerPelosi. He needs to resign. https://t.co/6wvdwlG75Y

Kevin McCarthy on Speaker Pelosi handing him the gavel: "It will be hard not to hit her with it but I will bang it down”
