WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report
[[link removed]])—In a sign of the
worsening feud among congressional Republicans, Representative Matt
Gaetz lashed out at Kevin McCarthy, accusing the Speaker of
“behaving like an adult.”

“Listening to others and striking a compromise are adulthood at its
worst,” he charged. “Kevin McCarthy needs to look at himself in
the mirror and ask if he wants to be an adult, or a Republican.”

Gaetz said that, now that McCarthy has “crossed a red line into
adult behavior,” there was “no telling” what he might do next.
“Soon he’ll be sitting still and keeping his hands to himself,”
he said.

“I guess when it comes down to it, Kevin likes adults,” he noted.
“I’ve always preferred children.”

Speaking to reporters, McCarthy bristled at being called an adult by a
member of his own conference. “I don’t see how name-calling solves
anything,” he said.
