House Speaker Kevin McCarthy vowed to play nice with Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries after Nancy Pelosi called McCarthy a "moron" on camera.
"We’ll continue to agree to disagree without being disagreeable with each other and find common ground when possible, therefore continuing to work together," Jeffries told Punchbowl News on Wednesday. "It remains a positive, forward-looking, communicative relationship." Anders Hagstrom is a reporter with Fox News Digital covering national politics and major breaking news events.

"I have a great deal of respect for him," McCarthy said of his counterpart. "We’re going to disagree on different issues. I believe based on the information that we have now, the Congress just needs to get more answers. That’s what we’re going about doing," he added, referring to a presidential impeachment inquiry.
