Being called the Freshman Senator from Utah would trigger Mitt's Magic Underwear-wearing butt.
It would be EPIC. Pay per view worthy.
Someone lied to Mitt and told him he was special.
In years past when a newly elected State Senator got to Richmond he/she was given the smallest office (think janitors closet), never assigned to a committee, couldn’t introduce or sign onto bills, never spoke on the floor and was told to sit down, shut up and learn. If they passed their probationary year the exceptional ones were possibly assigned to some very low level committee that was make-work.
The State HOR was even worse.
ALL freshmen reps of all parties were seated in the Kiddie Corner (yes, it was called that). The section of seating furthest from the floor, couldn’t introduce or sign onto bills, never spoke on the floor, assigned the worst offices imaginable (think towel closet in the mens room), told to sit down and learn.
The freshmen were infamous for flying paper airplanes, spitball fights and other juvenile behavior.
If a freshman won re-election they were then assigned to low level committees, could sign onto bills proposed by others and were given minimal time to speak on the floor.
I have talked to several former state representatives who admitted it was the best way to handle newbies, show them they are irrelevant until they calm down.
Can you imagine Mitt, AOC or that Tlaib git being treated like that?
I WOULD sell tickets to that.
