You seem to have some understanding of the “house rules”. Could you explain further how this works? What was necessary to trigger “words taken down”? I just cant recall myself when the minority was able to silence the majority speaker, and why would this power not be used to cause regular havoc by the minority party? What is the procedure now, and what is the consequence of having words taken down?
Also, not clear to me, so Pelosi does not have the support to pass her anti-Trump resolution? If not, why would she have even brought it to the floor? Bizarro world.
Thanks in advance.
She probably did think she had the support, but regardless, what she said in criticism of Trump (calling him a racist) flouted procedural rules and it appears that the parliamentarian, who decides whether things are being done according to parliamentary rules, either agreed with the GOP objection or was about to do so. She would have been silenced for the rest of the day, so maybe she just decided to storm off to save face.
