Pramilla Jayapal is preaching a sermon, though, and I appreciate that.

I like it as an insult, but don't want to guess at its meaning of derivation.

Washington (CNN) A Texas Republican congressman suggested Monday night that migrant children are able to leave a children's facility in Texas "at any time" but don't because they're well cared for.
"There's not a lock on the door. Any child is free to leave at any time but they don't," Rep. Michael Burgess said in an interview with MSNBC. "And you know why? Because they're well taken care of."
Burgess was referring to the Casa Padre shelter in Brownsville, Texas, that's become one of the largest facilities housing unaccompanied migrant children in the United State. The former Walmart superstore houses migrant boys, ages 10 to 17.
CNN has reached out to Burgess' office for additional comment.
