McCarthy knocks Pelosi, mask mandate: Says she's a meanie
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 on 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 over 85 percent and the transmission rate on the Capitol's campus was less than one 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.

Well deserved, IMO.
