Escalating tensions on Capitol Hill erupted into a contentious floor fight in the House of Representatives on Tuesday afternoon, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke in favor of a proposed resolution condemning "racist" comments by President Trump -- even as Republican leaders stood steadfast behind the president.

What a disappointment! When I first glanced at the title, I thought it said “Food fight erupts...”.

THE GOOD OLE DAYS. When caning another politician on the floor resulted in a Civil War months later. We’ve gone soft..
