Floor fight erupts as Pelosi speaks ahead of vote to condemn Trump's 'racist' comments

Escalating tensions on Capitol Hill erupted into a contentious floor fight in the House of Representatives on Tuesday afternoon, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke in favor of a proposed resolution condemning "racist" comments by President Trump -- even as Republican leaders stood steadfast behind the president.

As Pelosi's remarks turned personal, Georgia Republican Rep. Doug Collins rose to challenge her and demand that her words be "taken down." The extraordinary rebuke, the first of its kind by a member of Congress and a speaker of the House in decades, theoretically could result in Pelosi being barred from speaking on the floor for the remainder of the day.

"There is no place anywhere for the president's words, which are not only divisive, but dangerous -- and have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color," Pelosi, D-Calif., said. "It's so sad because you would think that there would be a given that we would universally, in this body, just say, 'Of course. Of course.'"

The IG Report and subsequent DOJ indictments must be devastating for democrats. They are panicking.

Pelosi then appeared to leave the House floor, which itself constitutes a violation of House Rules when someone’s words are taken down. Members are supposed to be seated on the floor when a member’s words are taken down.

That's likely why she left. Or she was flaunting the rule or simply ignorant of it.

That is correct.

a proposed resolution condemning "racist" comments by President Trump

The 1st amendment trumps Trump's allegedly "racist" comments. QED. Oh, and Nancy? Shut up and sit down. The adults are in charge.

I’ve been wondering for a few days now.....

If AOC considers herself ‘A Woman of Color’.....

Why does she usually wear so much white pancake makeup so as to seem nearly an albino in a black wig??

Pelosi's comments? They actually violate the rules.

Or Collins rebuke? Which actually is an attempt to enforce the rules.

Left wingers ambush republicans at baseball practice. Check.

Left wingers attack federal government installations. Check.

Left wing demonstrators attack reporters and others. Check.

Elected representatives advocate open borders which will be the destruction of America. Check.

You don't think it has started already?
