While participating in an interview with Rep. Burchett, Claudia Grisales, a congressional correspondent, witnessed McCarthy shove Burchett. CNN later interviewed him and he states it was a kidney punch.
This is what the house has become.

Read this book a couple of years ago. History doesn’t repeat but it tends to rhyme.

Outstanding! About time!
If true, it shows they were right in kicking McCarthy out…
Hair boy McCarthy is so stupid he fell for Russian collusion…
lol Burchett runs to Rush Replacements Show to whine about McCarthy running to CNN to look for publicity over the incident.
Burchett sounds like a whiny little you know what.
The report didn’t come from him. It cam from a PBS reporter who saw it…

Have NEVER seen this on Capitol Hill:
While talking to
@RepTimBurchett
after the GOP conference meeting, former
@SpeakerMcCarthy
walked by with his detail and McCarthy shoved Burchett. Burchett lunged towards me. I thought it was a joke, it was not. And a chase ensued…

Video or it’s tabloid BS. 
Since there’s cameras everywhere, is there a video?
Just remember one thing:
Dictatorships are neat, democracies are messy.
The NPR article has been updated with audio of the altercation.
I would also like to see more of this.
Sanders has to be a Dad and calm down a Senator from fighting a Teamster at a hearing.
This is really stupid.
Imagine that, Bernie is the voice of reason.
Bernie is a â– â– â– â– â– .
Went on NewsMax later and spoke wistfully of comings in Congress.
Guys 10 years ago when I was calling the GOP the Party of Calhoun that was (sort of) a joke, not aspirational.
I agree…but:
On the other hand, having a fist fight is one thing and shooting a Congressman in the ball park is quite another.
So Republicans settle their differences with the good ole style of usin punches where the Liberals go shoot the oposition after sit-in-wait from the bushes.
OK.
A republican candidate went shooting up Democrat homes after he lost.
I think incidents like these are more significant when politicians engage in them, rather than random crazy people.
Still no video to accompany this little tabloid tingle, huh?
Pics of Mullin hiding out and running for his life during the Notaviolentinsurrection.
Hmmm, what’s that political ideology that endorses political violence called again?
