  1. Not punching, "elbowing" Gosh!

  4. Shame on you all,pathetic little men!

  5. This goes to show the world on who side the Republican Party is on and its NOT OURS, its putins and chinas.

  6. Love it! I didn't think McCarthy had the guts to punch anybody! He didn't have the guts to stand up for Republicans! Glad he's gone?

  7. McCarthy has shown the world that Matt Gaetz was 100% correct in what he done, Gaetz got rid of a Rino Spoofer and it hurts McCarthy because he was found out in Public. No amount of Interviews with the Liberal Media will change that. It was a simple enough process, McCarthy made promises he didn't keep so get off the stage and well done Matt Gaetz. Mr Burchett is an honest man, his intergrity is intact.

  8. PUNCHING """ I thought it was an elbow shame on your lying evil butts NBC.
