Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., accused former House Speaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy of lying after McCarthy denied an allegation that he elbowed Rep. Tim Burchett in the kidneys.

“Kevin McCarthy and lying are like peanut butter and jelly,” Buck said in a CNN interview Tuesday. Burchett and Buck were two of the eight Republicans who voted to oust McCarthy as House Speaker last month.

“I don’t know what goes through the mind of Kevin McCarthy," he said. "I think that Kevin McCarthy is, you know, obviously very upset still that he is not speaker and, you know, he doesn’t hold any leadership position now. He is a rank-and-file congressman like me. And it’s got to be upsetting to him, so he took it out.”
