The House floor erupted Thursday after Congress adjourned for the week when an unidentified Republican congressman yelled a controversial and potentially racially charged remark across the aisle as Democratic Rep. Tony Cárdenas was at the podium.
“Go back to Puerto Rico!” the lawmaker shouted, punctuating a stream of Republican whooping and hollering at the Democratic majority for holding a voice vote — instead of the normal roll call vote — to pass a continuing resolution that would reopen nine Cabinet departments through Feb. 28.
Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee and other Democrats in the chamber shot out of their seats demanding to know who shouted the comment.
Cárdenas walked over to the Republican side of the aisle and huddled with some GOP lawmakers, but none stepped forward to admit they had shouted the remark.

It has to be..... wait for it...... racism....
“Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee and other Democrats in the chamber shot out of their seats demanding to know who shouted the comment.”
she had her YOU ARE RACIST’!! card ready to flip...
How do they know it was a Republican, or a Congressman, or a man? How presumptuous.
America to Democrats: “Put it back in the deck!”
They can’t. All codel “fact finding” tours are suspended. Build the wall.
Hog Sheila Jackson Fleas is to rotund to shoot out of a seat, regardless of the width of the chair.
Puerto Rico is a nation not a race.
too rotund
Right, the article and democrats pretend it was a racial remark, when it refers to their junket.
WE DEMANDZ TO NO!
Does PR get a vote?
Sheila Jackson Lee, the stupid carpet bagger from NY, disgraces herself and Texas daily. That’s not racist. That’s reality.
They know it wasn’t a DhimmicRAT because the outburst wasn’t appended with “mother***3r”.
The Democrats and their violent rhetoric have brought s very close to civil unrest and violence. We will not be cowed.
Sheila Jackass refused to apologize for using the race card and demanding a dialogue on race for a thug driveby murder that did not involve white people.
WRONG. Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States. It is not a nation.
“Progressives “Always ready to pounce on any comment to twist fur their benefit
Goebbels would be so proud of the left in this country
From this point forward, everything will be racists. Democrats have learned that the use of this term freezes Republicans and self hating Whites in place.
>>Puerto Rico is a nation not a race.
Not even that. It’s just an unincorporated territory.
