Matt Gaetz Accuses Kevin McCarthy of Behaving Like an Adult

By Andy Borowitz/The New Yorker

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a sign of the worsening feud among congressional Republicans, Representative Matt Gaetz lashed out at Kevin McCarthy, accusing the Speaker of “behaving like an adult.”

“Listening to others and striking a compromise are adulthood at its worst,” he charged. “Kevin McCarthy needs to look at himself in the mirror and ask if he wants to be an adult, or a Republican.”

Gaetz said that, now that McCarthy has “crossed a red line into adult behavior,” there was “no telling” what he might do next. “Soon he’ll be sitting still and keeping his hands to himself,” he said.

“I guess when it comes down to it, Kevin likes adults,” he noted. “I’ve always preferred children.”

I used to read Art Hoppe and Art Buchwald. He's as good as they were, maybe better.
