Check Nancy Pelosi's Back for Tire Marks Because Kevin McCarthy Just Pulled a Swalwell Hit and Run

PJ Media is an opinion-focused outlet, and this page is a highly partisan column rather than straight news reporting. The author is identified, but the story relies heavily on one politician’s account and presents serious claims without independent substantiation or responses from those criticized.
