"Is Kevin McCarthy a moron, and if so, why?" asked one reporter. Pelosi reportedly called McCarthy a "moron" after he voiced his opposition to the new mask mandate in the House, according to The Hill.
"I said earlier in my comment, science, science, science, and science," replied Pelosi. "On almost every subject that you can name, science is the answer.

"Whether it's the climate crisis, whether it's a health crisis, whether it's our preeminence in the world and technology, science, science, science, science," she continued.
"To say that wearing a mask is not based on science, I think is not wise, and that was my comment," Pelosi added.
