媒体报道称“昨晚14轮投票仍未选出政议长后，共和党的两位政议员几乎动粗了，后经他人介入阻止了事态的进一步发展，甚至有人喊请文明点！”

“Even for career-long observers of Congress, Friday night on the House floor was a sight to behold.

The chamber descended into chaos when two lawmakers nearly came to fisticuffs — the frustration of four long days of failing to elect a speaker boiling over. And that was just part of the drama.

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) lunged at Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and had to be pulled away by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.). It happened after Gaetz blocked Kevin McCarthy from clinching the final vote to be elected speaker in the fourteenth round of voting — and after the rabble rouser signaled he was ready to back down and let everyone finally go home.

Across the chamber, Democratic Reps. Dan Kildee (D-Mich.) and Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) could be heard shouting “Be civil!”, according to a member who heard the exchange.”

McCarthy, who was elected Republican leader in November, has long had eyes on the speaker’s gavel. But he saw his fears officially realized today when his party’s right wing followed through on public promises that they wouldn’t elect the California congressman speaker.
