At a House Judiciary hearing on gun violence, Gaetz attempted to change the subject to murders allegedly committed by undocumented immigrants.
After Gaetz called on Congress to build President Donald Trumps proposed wall, a survivor of the Parkland shooting reportedly interrupted. Gaetz reacted by trying to have the survivors removed.
Is there a process in the committee by which if the very same people are repeatedly interrupting the time of the members that those people will be asked to depart the committee, Gaetz asked Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY).
Nadler responded by explaining that he has the discretion to remove people who interrupt, but the chairman chose not to invoke that discretion.

Looks like he'll need to develop a new skill set now that he's in the minority.

When Tom DeLay gerrymandered Texas, we lost Martin Frost after 13 terms and got the odious Pete Sessions. Sessions is finally history, and we now have Colin Allred, but it was a long time in the wilderness.
