"SNIP......

This is not a joke: House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy is selling t-shirts to his supporters with the word “moron” printed on the front.

McCarthy is apparently trying to capitalize on Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently calling him a moron, but I’m not sure they thought this one through.

......SNIP"

Frankly, if Nancy Pelosi had called me a moron, the last thing I’d want to do is reinforce that by wearing it around on a t-shirt in public.

You secretly agree with her, Kev? Is that a label you’re actually proud to own? Sheesh…

And he thinks he’s Speaker material. He really IS a moron.

Like the way trump and all the mini trumps do now.

They seem to think it's a winning strategy.

I guess we cant call them Morons anymore, right? LOL

YOU are FREE to be on ventilators or other oxygen supply machine, your choice.

FREE to love any dictator of your choice, because we sure despise Americans, look at the coverage and commentary of the Olympics by the trump and his sickness'.

Something we can all agree on, that Kevin McCarthy's supporters should wear shirts identifying themselves as morons. Thank you, Mr. Minority Leader.
