‘Sit your ass down’: Tea Partier hammers Republican who said anti-Fed bill was unconstitutional
Nevada state Assemblywoman Michele Fiore was forced to apologize after her outburst toward a fellow Republican on Tuesday when he raised concerns about a bill she introduced, Wonkette reported.
“Mr. Speaker, can you stop this circus with the Assemblyman from District 19?” Fiore asked, before telling Assemblyman Chris Edwards directly, “Could you just sit your ass down and be quiet.”
Assembly Speaker John Hambrick quickly ruled that Fiore was out of order, before ordering a brief recess. Fiore subsequently apologized to her colleagues for the remark.
The debate centered around Assembly Bill 408, which would have required the federal government to obtain permission to use any public land in the state. As Reuters reported, county commissions would be allowed to hand out permits for the land to be used for commercial purposes.
But Edwards observed on Tuesday that the state Legislative Council Bureau found Fiore’s proposal to be unconstitutional.
