Kevin McCarthy offers supporters t-shirts branding them 'moron'



By Emily Singer -August 12, 2021 9:57 AM

The House minority leader is attempting to reclaim the word for those who oppose wearing masks during the COVID pandemic.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy sent out a fundraising email on Wednesday offering supporters who donate to his campaign red t-shirts that have the word "moron" emblazoned on them in big, bolded text.

The shirts are an effort to capitalize off Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's comment calling McCarthy a "moron" in July for opposing a new mask mandate put in place on the House side of Capitol Hill by Congress' attending physician.

The mask mandate was reinstated as cases of COVID-19 rose across the country, thanks to the contagious delta variant. McCarthy appeared to confess that one-third of House Republicans chose not to get the vaccine in a speech on the House floor attacking the policy.
