McCarthy knocks Pelosi, mask mandate: 'This House has broken the country's trust'

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) took a jab at Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) over a newly reinstated mask mandate in the chamber, saying the move was not based on science.

"The Speaker of the House said that people who are fully vaccinated but don't support wearing a mask are morons. She wanted to say that the House should follow the science. Madam Speaker, you don't know the facts, nor the science, so let's talk about it," McCarthy said on the House floor during a speech Wednesday.

McCarthy was referring to a comment made by Pelosi earlier Wednesday in which she called him a "moron" for opposing the mask mandate.

In his remarks, McCarthy claimed that the vaccination rate for members of Congress was more than 85 percent and the transmission rate on the Capitol’s campus was less than 1 percent adding, “Well the facts would tell us this isn’t a hot spot. So the CDC recommendation doesn't apply to us,” McCarthy later continued.

“Worst of all, this administration and now this House has broken the country's trust,” McCarthy said.

Killer Clouds:
The country hasn't trusted the house for a long time RINO.

Cyber Liberty:
The so-called trust was broken in 1995, when the Republicans took the House.  Gingrich started caving in to Clinton before the echos of their oaths of office died out.

I was under the impression at the time that Gingrich would be different than Foley, but I was disappointed.
