I feel for Gohmert here. Whenever I decide to fire up the old grill at my workplace, I get yelled at.

Presuming that he used an electric smoker, it's hardly a fire hazard. It's all contained, and there's very little combustion.

Some vegetarian/vegan probably complained because the aroma reminded them of what they were missing. :-)

As long as a drunken, drugged up Patrick Kennedy isn’t roasting wombats, it’s ok.

Our city ordinance is no (flame) BBQ’s within 10’ of an apartment wall. Electric should not be a problem.

I have fought quite a few fires caused by flame ups igniting the soffit.

Call me a party pooper or whatever, but somehow to me it doesn't seem to be quite fitting to be holding beer n' barbecue parties on the balcony of the historical U.S. Capitol building.

In other words, I fully understand the architect's angst.

Since when is some architect the boss of the congressmen? This guy allows some outside contractor to boss him around like that? This guy is a wuss

Grill baby, grill

screw the haters, they are just jealous, heck invite the architect to the next one and show him your new fire extinguisher you bought, you know, just in case. That is what I would have done.

Maybe the libs will make it a voting base and a minority. Wouldn’t put it past them.

Kinda sux don’t it, Congressman, when the people you thought worked for you act like they’re your masters?

Stay tuned to C-Span for Capitol Archietects Department
budget hearing coming to a television near you.

What an entitled ass. He is just a congressman. It is entirely reasonable for the Architect of the Capitol to insist that one of 535 dumbssses not grill on the balcony of the Capitol Building, which we own and would like preserved. To do otherwise is to not take his job seriously (the AOC is not just another architect).

This ass and now some of his fellow asses think that this is important and that the people should have to pay them to deal with this BBQ issue after they spent 8 years doing pretty much nothing about a guy laying flame to our Constitution.

No, congressman, if your momma wouldn’t let you do it at home, you probaby shouldn’t do it in somebody elses house, especially when you have work to do.

Behave like a child, get treated like one.

I am so sick of these people.
