Normally, the Congressional votes are about as exciting as watching paint dry on growing grass, but when House Representative Tom Marino accused the Democrats of not being brave enough to pass immigration reform when they controlled the Congress, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi jumped up and came at the guy!
Marino struck a nerve by pointing out that the Democrats owned the entire Congress and White House for two years and did nothing about illegal immigration.
Nancy Pelosi then crept up on Marino and began taunting him. Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., said it best: “What is she doing?”
There was such a raucous altercation that the House Sergeant came close to having to restore order by force.
Later, Tom Marino gave his own version of what happened, on Twitter while on the way home:
When a Republican stands on the facts to make an argument, if the Democrat doesn’t want to hear it, it’s only a matter of time before out come the insults and hyperbole.
If only my congressman, Joe Wilson, would have stood his ground and not groveled around, apologizing, after stating the obvious many years ago. I am still pissed at Joe. I vote for him, but not with the same enthusiasm.
