Rep. Liz Cheney called Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy "childish" after he referred to her and Rep. Adam Kinzinger as "Pelosi Republicans" at a White House event Monday morning, escalating an ongoing war of words between the two lawmakers.

The latest spat began on Monday morning, when McCarthy attended an event at the White House Rose Garden commemorating the 31st anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, where he was asked about the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riot.

"Some Republicans have been saying that the GOP should play ball on this committee," said a reporter.

"Really? Who was that, Adam and Liz? Aren't they kinda like Pelosi Republicans?" McCarthy replied, referring to Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), who was appointed to the commission by Pelosi on Saturday.

Later, as she was entering a preparatory session for the commission, Cheney was asked about McCarthy's remarks.

"It's very serious business, we have important work to do, and I think that's pretty childish," she responded.

1. I can tolerate old school Republicans

Agree to disagree and move on. Trumphumpers on the other hand make me nauseous.

2. Kevin McCarthy is a wannabe.

I have no doubt that he has always been a hanger on.

In high school, he was probably was one of the kids who orbited around the “In Crowd” hoping to be allowed to eat his lunch at the cool kid’s table.

He has always been a pathetic worm.

3. Cheney and Kinzinger are anything but Pelosi allies

They are solid, right wing Republicans who object to seeing their party being made subject to Trumpanzee ridicule.

McCarthy is about as solid as jello, which is why he is having all these problems.
