Excerpt:

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy joked at a Saturday night event that it “will be hard not to hit” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with the speaker’s gavel if Republicans take control of the chamber in the 2022 midterms and he becomes speaker.

“I want you to watch Nancy Pelosi hand me that gavel. It will be hard not to hit her with it,” McCarthy said in audio posted to Twitter by a Main Street Nashville reporter.

4. Pelosi is too classy but I'd wear a hard hat and safety goggles to hand that thing over.

I can't wait to hear how she snears "Good luck, Kev!" and then hopefully whispers under her breadth "You are SO f****d!"
