On Wednesday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi verbally attacked House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, calling him a "moron" for opposing a mask mandate in the House.
The Hill reports:
Brian Monahan, the Capitol physician, instituted a new mask mandate for the lower chamber late Tuesday night in response to a spike in infections from the delta variant of the coronavirus. The rise in cases also prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) earlier Tuesday to push new recommendations for masking indoors, even among those who've been vaccinated.
"Make no mistake — The threat of bringing masks back is not a decision based on science, but a decision conjured up by liberal government officials who want to continue to live in a perpetual pandemic state," McCarthy tweeted in regards to the mandate on Tuesday night.

However, Pelosi backs the mandate and made it known to reporters on Wednesday morning. "That's the purview of the Capitol Physician ... the mandate from him. I have nothing to say about that except we honor it," she said.
When asked about McCarthy's opposing comments, Pelosi replied, "He's such a moron."

That's a pretty rich insult coming from the likes of Pelosi.
McCarthy posted another tweet on Wednesday declaring that mask mandates do not work. He said, "Speaker Pelosi wants you to do as she says, not as she does. She and President Biden are doing everything possible to keep you living in fear with your mask, even if you've been vaccinated. The science is clear → Vaccines work. Mask mandates don't."
