did the situation warrant a throat punch?
As an Alabama voter rest assured Alabama voters won’t forget what Robers did.
Probably a good thing that guns are prohibited in congress.
Forget the BS, especially jealous Mike Rogers.
The press is full tonight of Congresspeople already praising Gaetz of how he actually IMPROVED the Congress, by the changes going forward.
That would include McCarthy, who in an interview I saw just spoke very highly of Gaetz.
Well done to all.
This sort of stuff used to only happen in foreign politics.
Wonder if Gaetz snagged his committee chairmanship?
Rogers did what I would have done.
I guess we will find out if it was worth it Monday when the pass house rules. I would not be surprised if McCarthy does not keep his word on agreed concessions. Anyway we can look forward to nothing being done on important conservative issues for at least two more years and probably loosing seats in 24 and not even getting the White House.
I can’t wait until McCarthy stabs Trump in the back. Trump just does not have the ability to spot a snake when he sees one.
Good thing Rogers wore a helmet onto the House floor.
Seriously though, Rogers got a little over 31,000 votes in his last primary. AL-3 Freepers, find someone who can legitimately draw 35,000 votes in a primary and work your ass off for that person. If ballot harvesting is a thing there, harvest the hell out of that district.
AOC has a congressional seat for life because she got folks to find 16,000 votes in a primary against the #4 Democrat in the House. Dave Brat found 36,000 votes against Eric Cantor, then the #3 Republican in the House. Find the candidates who can win those barely contested primaries and beat the pavement for them.
It’s too bad the RINOs don’t fight the commie Dems as hard as they fight us.
“Richard Hudson, R-N.C., intervened and physically restrained Rogers, pulling him back by his shoulders in full view of C-SPAN’s cameras. “
I saw that as well on CSPAN. Looked like Rogers was pulled away by a hand over his mouth. Wondered if also that was to shut him up. Very Bazaar!
Situation made me realize how much I hate most Republicans.
This whole thing is about Committee chairs, because that’s where the fundraising is. Most people don’t understand that those positions go to the highest bidder who is then committed to raising a certain amount of money each year in order to keep it.
If Gaetz took a Chair from Roberts, that’s great news, bc w/ the RINOs it’s all about the money.
Good for Mike Rogers.
Didn’t lunge. Nasty words and his mouth got covered.
My-my, who is the terrorist here? Come on FR GOP establishment fanboys be honest. Another member tried to physically assault another. Are you snobs not embarrassed at this unseemly behavior or will it be excused like all other RINO crap?
Yeah! But what did Frank Luntz think about all of this drama?
Someone who is animated, yes. But I don’t see any physical threat to Gaetz than finger pointing.. The guy who put his hands on Rogers is more at fault.
