Fox News
Ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been hit with an ethics complaint by political foe Rep. Matt Gaetz after he allegedly shoved Rep. Tim Burchett earlier Tuesday.
"Needless to say, this incident deserves immediate and swift investigation by the Ethics Committee. This Congress has seen a substantial increase in breaches of decorum unlike anything we have seen since the pre-Civil War era," Gaetz wrote in a letter to House Ethics Committee Chair Michael Guest, R-Miss.

"I myself have been a victim of outrageous conduct on the House floor as well, but nothing like an open and public assault on a Member, committed by another Member. The rot starts at the top."
