Democratic doctors' protest against Trump's 'beautiful bill' derailed by flood of US Capitol tourists

The Democratic Doctors Caucus was interrupted by a barrage of tourists during a press conference outside the office of House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Wednesday.(snip)

The Democratic Doctors Caucus, comprised of the six Democratic physicians serving in the House of Representatives, planned a press conference in Statuary Hall, a room down the hall from the House speaker's office.

Apparently noticing the large gaggle of reporters staking out Johnson's office amid last-minute member holdout negotiations, the caucus moved their press conference to right outside the speaker's office. Donning their white coats in the crowded hallway, the Democratic doctors began their prepared remarks.

But that area is a major tourist corridor, and the press conference was quickly flooded with tourists walking from the Rotunda past Johnson's office and into Statuary Hall.

Police officers directed members to stand on one side of the corridor, while the press stood on the other.

The result was unusable to journalists as tour guides and tourists' chatter drowned out their remarks. The Democrats' comments were inaudible.

They need to pass the 1BBB! Half a loaf is better than none. The Dems always understand this. There will be more bites at the apple later!

The Democratic doctors began their prepared remarks:

1. Doctor #1: “People will die.”
2. Doctor #2. “People will die.”
3. Doctor #3. “People will die.”
4. Doctor #4. “People will die.”
5. Doctor #5. “People will die.”
6. Doctor #6. “People will die.”

Any questions for our esteemed Democratic Doctors?

No, it was more complex.

1. Doctor #1: “People will die.”
2. Doctor #2. “Hospitals will close.”
3. Doctor #3. “Women and blacks will suffer.”
4. Doctor #4. “We won’t be able to cut off sex parts.”
5. Doctor #5. “Big Pharma won’t bribe us anymore.”
6. Doctor #6. “In case you forgot, people will die.”

The video is hilarious. Multiple citizens walking by,
completely oblivious to the doc's 'protest'.

Wearing a lab coat is an “appeal to authority” argument.

It doesn’t make one smarter or wiser, it’s just a “look at my diploma and do what I say”.
