GOP House Leader Kevin McCarthy has come under fire and scrutiny many times this year already. For example, his willingness to turn the other cheek to fellow GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's increasingly unhinged antics has had people questioning his leadership.
McCarthy's understanding of basic human functionality also came under question after an appearance on Fox News, wherein he attempted to deride President Joe Biden's sleep schedule, saying that Biden "doesn't have the energy" of his predecessor because of his need to sleep five hours per night.

The comparison briefly had #Adderall trending.
Adderall, an amphetamine mostly prescribed to children diagnosed with an Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), is a stimulant with the ability to keep somebody awake for inhumanly long periods of time, especially if abused recreationally.
