Kevin McCarthy fires back at Nancy Pelosi after she calls him a 'moron' for questioning the 'science' of mask mandates

Earlier today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy “such a moron” for criticizing the new House mask mandate.

She said that, of course, while not wearing a mask and being accompanied by unmasked security and getting into an SUV being piloted by an unmasked driver.

Anyway, Rep. McCarthy understandably had some thoughts about Pelosi’s insult:

"If she's so brilliant, can she explain to me where the science in the building changes between the House and the Senate," McCarthy tells reporters of Pelosi's comment, per pool. https://t.co/EGvgIhYkg7

McCarthy didn’t have to resort to calling Nancy Pelosi a moron to point out that she is not, in fact, following any actual science.

This is a good question. https://t.co/iS0xY1upO5

These are good questions, too:

B) McCarthy: "Can she explained to me when the CDC says only vaccinated people need to wear a mask in hotspots? Can she explained to me that DC is a hotspot? When it’s clarified by everybody else it’s not with more than 86% of vaccination within here." C

C) McCarthy: :"Can she explain to me the less than 1% affected there. So it’s a lot of questions if she knows so much science explain to me where the science changes in the Rotunda."

The answer to all of those questions is no. Nancy Pelosi cannot explain any of those things.

Because she doesn’t truly believe in the science.
