It should be noted that our only source for this is Adams himself, years after the fact. Jefferson, in his autobiography, denies that he (or anyone else) said it. McCullough's biography of Adams indicates that the only person who ever spoke ill of Adams' behavior in Congress, then or later, was Adams.
