What You Missed on Twitter This Week, Vol. 3

You are welcome back! It’s impossible to know at the beginning of each week how the Biden administration, Democratic politicians, and media hacks will embarrass themselves. All we know is they will.

The president and his administration are not answering questions about the classified documents scandal, and they haven’t come up with a good excuse for their silence. House Republicans are allegedly responsible for high gas prices. Kevin McCarthy, the newly elected House speaker, is taking on hostile media.

2. McCarthy demolishes a reporter who tries to question his decision to boot Schiff and Swalwell from the intelligence committee

Newly elected House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) made it a priority to remove Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff (Calif.) and Eric Swalwell (Calif.) from the House Intelligence Committee. When one reporter accused McCarthy of not answering questions on the subject, the California Republican decided that he’d had enough—and his savage response blew up the internet.

“Let me be very clear and respectful to you. You ask me a question, when I answer it, it’s the answer to your question,” the speaker said. “You don’t get to determine whether I answer a question or not, okay? In all respect…what happens
