House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), took to twitter on Sunday to share his thoughts on the House of Representatives work schedule next year.
House Democrats have scheduled 101 days of work for next year—a 25% reduction.

Let me say it again: 101 working days. For the whole year.

The tweet echoes statements McCarthy made last week at his press conference, where he slammed Democrats for voting against GOP proposed COVID relief “more than 40 times.”
“Democrats think congress needs a 25% reduction. Yes, you don’t even have to show up for work," McCarthy said. "60 democrats yesterday, one third of them, didn’t show up for work, just voted by proxy, and still got paid. And now they found out they don’t even have to work as much as they did - congresses before. A 25% reduction, with only scheduled 101 days. They’ll probably become the laziest Congress we have ever had.”
