House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy took multiple swings at House Democrats as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi struggles to wrangle with the more liberal elements of party.

“The majority has reached a new low,” McCarthy, a California Republican, told reporters Thursday. “I watch the news. A lot of the talk is about the war within this new ‘socialist Democratic Party.’ It’s interesting. In a few short months, I watched the speaker and a lot of those freshmen smile on the cover of the Rolling Stone magazine. And now I’m just watching stones being thrown at one another.”
