Two House members nearly came to blows and had to be separated by a Capitol staffer after several lawmakers had preached about coming together as Americans.
The wild scene took place as lawmakers debated certifying the Electoral votes from Pennsylvania.
An altercation reportedly took place between Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) and Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX), though what prompted it remains unclear.
Reporters in attendance, according to Fox News, suggest Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Conor Lamb’s characterization of the violence earlier in the day may have prompted the scuffle.
“It didn’t materialize out of nowhere,” Lamb said of the violence. “It was inspired by lies. The same lies that you’re hearing in this room tonight.”
Republicans objected, to which Lamb responded, “The truth hurts!”
C-Span video captured Lamb speaking and a commotion behind him.
Harris is a 63-year-old U.S. Navy veteran while Allred is a 37-year-old former college football player at Baylor.

The lefties can have unity with my middle finger. :-)
They should revive “ dueling “.
That would eliminate a lot of the worthless dead wood in The Swamp.
As a sign of healing that they demand, we should ask nicely that all incumbent politicians resign to allow for new blood as both parties are completely corrupt.
That could be a fair trade off for the 80 million that are asked to swallow the fraud, shut up and usher in the marxists.
We can be very nice and give them 90 days to make the correct decision.
Colin Allred? I knew it, but I checked and confirmed it.
I heard about this on the radio, an interview with Harris. It didn’t really go down as your post suggests.

A man after my own heart!
I fully support this fabulous idea!
Dueling was a really stupid thing.
It was all about Pride; and you know what the Bible says about Pride.
Lamb is only there because of voter fraud. So he goes on the defensive and start accusing people of lying and promoting violence.

Lamb is one of the sources of lies.
Is dueling going to make a comeback?
So a 37 year old former college football player - with poor impulse control - decides to attack a 63 year old representative. Allred needs anger control counseling.
Dueling was even dumber if you were a bad shot. :-)
We should ask David about it, maybe get a quote from Goliath.
A new election is needed.
That reminds me of Doctor Redlener on the "task-force" for the proposed "Hillary Care" and supporting the return to Cuba of Elián González.
unity under the Democrats or it’s the Gulag for you
LOL!
It was pretty dumb any way you shake it.
