Overheard on Capitol Hill

Overheard by Playbook: “Reps. Ann Wagner (R-MO) and Michael McCaul (R-TX) were at an event on Capitol Hill last Thursday. Standing by the bar, a person in their group asked about redistricting in Missouri and said he hoped Wagner gets a more conservative district to help her win reelection.”

Said Wagner skeptically: “Then you get those wacko birds.”

To which McCaul said: “That’s why we had to vote the way we did today!”

“That day, House Democrats and nine Republicans voted to hold Steve Bannon in criminal contempt of Congress for ignoring a Jan. 6 committee subpoena. Wagner and McCaul voted against the contempt effort.”
