Floor fight erupts as Pelosi speaks ahead of vote to condemn Trump's 'racist' comments
FoxNews ^ | July 16, 2019

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.

As Pelosi's remarks turned personal, Georgia Republican Rep. Doug Collins rose to challenge her and demand that her words be "taken down." The extraordinary rebuke, the first of its kind by a member of Congress and a speaker of the House in decades, theoretically could result in Pelosi being barred from speaking on the floor for the remainder of the day.

"There is no place anywhere for the president's words, which are not only divisive, but dangerous -- and have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color," Pelosi, D-Calif., said. "It's so sad because you would think that there would be a given that we would universally, in this body, just say, 'Of course. Of course.'"

When a foreign born person claims they hate our country while an elected member of Co grease, they should be deported and their citizenship revoked.

Yep, they were counting on their “Sistah Souljah” moment to ingratiate themselves with moderates.

Trump just eliminated that.

no show America who they are, vote them out of power. Cannot defeat the radicals in their districts, but we can defeat those in purple districts.

“We need to throw all these anti-American Democrats out of our country.”

I’d like to hang a few of them first.

Okay...maybe around 3,000,000 of them.

That “floor fight” was about 9 1/2 points shy of a 10. As was posted earlier. I’m looking for the canes to come out.
