House Dem accuses female GOP candidate of wanting to kiss McCarthy's feet 'and every other thing'
Fox News
Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria of Virginia accused her Republican rival, Jen Kiggans, of wanting to kiss Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s feet "and every other thing."
"I see I have one minute left, so I'm just gonna wrap it up, but the thing is, like, this woman wants your gas prices to be high," Luria said, gesturing toward Kiggans. "I just listened to an interview with Kevin McCarthy, who she wants to vote with for speaker, and he said, ‘This is becoming a little bit of a problem for Republicans as the midterms approach. I saw from August as gas prices were going down, we Republicans thought that might really hurt us winning the House.’" Jessica Chasmar is a digital writer on the politics team for Fox News and Fox Business.

The congresswoman was referring to comments McCarthy made recently to Punchbowl News, in which he stated, "August was not a good month" for Republicans, due in part by the temporary decline of record-breaking gas prices.
"They didn't care about your pocketbook and the fact that gas prices were going down and that's what they should want," Luria continued. "They just want gas prices to stay high so they can win the election. And Kevin McCarthy, who wants to be speaker, who she says she’d vote for and will kiss his feet and his ring and every other thing, wants your gas prices to be high."
