There is limited seating.
I do not think the average citizen would be allowed in.
I’ll bet it will be easy to track down. Senators on the committee probably have passes for Family/Friends etc... I’m guessing one or more of them gave them out.
Read that Schumer was organizing the goons and anarchistic resistance.
Watched the video of that girl whose blouse had a big “NO” on the front. She was extolling the virtues of disrupting a duly elected President from doing his business. Essentially, anything having to do with Trump had to be blocked to stop Fascism.
I’ll admit it’s a very clever tactic to accuse others of doing what you are doing. Trump has done nothing to warrant the label of Fascist. This woman clearly has done some things that are very problematic.
The Left is as a unit, lying, labeling others for what they are doing, and obstructing the ordinary business of the nation.
Can anyone just walk in there?
Excellent point. I’ve attended committee meetings of the US House before - not as a Member or as staff but just as an observer. Most are typically like watching paint dry. The only people there are staffers, lobbyists and tourists. They’re usually not full.
But a committee meeting like this would be packed and mostly by the DC types who’ll find every possible way of finagling a seat way ahead of us knaves from flyover country.
unless things have changed since I was last at a committee meeting, there’s an odd smell as to how these protestors got in.
The Senate and House galleries are open to visitors whenever either legislative body is in session, however the galleries are not included as part of the U.S. Capitol tour. Passes are required to enter either gallery at any time. Visitors may obtain gallery passes from the offices of their Senators or Representative. International visitors with valid photo ID from their home country may inquire about gallery passes at the House and Senate Appointment Desks on the upper level of the Capitol Visitor Center.
When the House of Representatives is not in session, visitors with passes may visit the House gallery from 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., Monday through Friday. The House gallery is closed on holidays and is subject to unplanned, temporary closures when the House is out of session.
The Senate gallery is open during scheduled recesses of one week or more, and visitors are admitted to the gallery from 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Senate gallery is closed on weekends and holidays (unless the Senate is in session), and during any recess or adjournment of less than one week.
I have an idea. we should have a rule for the viewing area that if you are removed for protesting you receive a life time ban that can only be removed by going to court and getting a judge lift it.
Actually, I see this a good news. The Lefties have to Astroturf these demonstrations or else they would not happen. Also, follow the money to the source, then neutralize it.
Was watching on C-Span just a few minutes ago - it appears three’s a row of these loony ladies and as a couple stand up and start shouting they’re taken from the room and a couple more come in to take their place - about a ritual now - they start shouting, the people speaking on the floor stop, the police grab the offenders and usher them out without great resistance, and the replacements come in to take over - kindergarten time......
SorozNazi is using the exact same tactics (brown shirt disruptive street mobs, gangs, violence, intimidation, disruption ... plus tons and tons of agiprop to demean and demonize you, big lies, false charges of the worst imaginable kind against innocent people of differing political points of view, etc.) as his fellow Nazi bff’s used to overthrow the Weimar Republic
its precisely the same Nazi playbook
I am SO sick of these whiny POS....they have no idea what they’re protesting....just ‘em money. Lemmings.
As they are marched out, more protesters come in - sad.
‘Disorderly conduct’ a charge that might apply (or some equivalent??) Probably a misdemeanor at most ?
BUT If they are being paid to be disruptive, is that NOW moved into ‘conspiracy to commit a crime’ which starts moving up to FELONY (and if across state lines ...)
The leftists are moving into dangerous territory for themselves where the sane public may decide that such criminal activity too much threatens the public good and those responsibly made to pay an appropriate penalty.
As long as nothing is being done about it it will continue. It is that way with everything that is wrong.
Whose money and who financed this?
It’s clearly unethical, but is it illegal?
Better question is: WHO among the GOP is going to do anything about it other than writing a ‘Sternly worded Tweet’?
Our President can’t do it all as far as firing back, and he shouldn’t be the only one.
How do these paid disrupters gat admission to the hearing?
Schumer?
Warren?
