Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently called her top Republican counterpart Kevin McCarthy a "moron," while McCarthy joked — maybe? — that he'd hit Pelosi with a gavel.
Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, meanwhile, has accused his Democratic peer, the Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, of "angry incompetence" either belying weakness or a tendency to bully. Schumer has chided McConnell as a Vladimir Putin toady who's personally responsible for, in his estimation, almost pushing Americans over a cliff to financial ruin.
