UPDATED: Parliamentary chaos as House Democrats ban and unban Pelosi from House floor
washingtonexaminer ^ | 7/16/2019 | John Gage

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was banned from speaking on the House floor for the rest of the day after calling President Trump's tweets racist on the House floor.

The decision came after the California Democrat gave an impassioned speech about tweets by Trump she called "racist."

The chairman at the time, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, reprimanded her for the "personality-based" attack before "abandoning the chair."

POTUS Trump - “The Sky is blue”.

Any Democrat - “That’s Racist”.

Nah.

This is another step towards Nancy’s retirement “for health reasons.”

She is losing control. And it’s hilarious.

There is an old saying. I don't know who to attribute it to, it goes somewhat thusly: Whom the hods wish to destroy, they first make angry

"Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad" is quoted as a "heathen proverb" in Daniel, a Model for Young Men (1854) by William Anderson Scott (1813–85).

Mad in the sense of crazy.

As in: A prior Latin version is "Quos Deus vult perdere, prius dementat" (Life of Samuel Johnson, 1791) but this involves God, (presumably the Christian God) not 'the gods'.

That is a valid conclusion. Nancy does not want the horror show of impeachment and this was touted as a prelude to finally get renewed traction for impeachment hearings. Pelosi knows her business and these renegades should enjoy their moment of perceived high relevance. They will not have the last word.

I expect to see Pelosi take a sudden leave from congress before long for “personal reasons”. She is unraveling before our very eyes. She’s in bad shape.

Only if she leaves fee first.

She's addicted to the most dangerous and addictive drug known to mankind - power.

She can no more walk away from it that a meth addict could ignore a shipping container of meth.

WOW. Cleaver was NOT happy with Pelosi and having to be the bag man, after the House Parliamentarian sockpuppeted him all afternoon.

Wow. That's one of the more shameful parliamentary moments in the House ever...

Yes and President Trump stood up for her!

Nanzi can expect no quarter now. President Trump can turn around and say "Hey, remember hat time I stood up for you and defended you, and then you stabbed me in the back? Yeah, I'm vetoing any bill containing federal funding for CA."

IF the dems decided to get a new speaker, would it be Stenny Hoyer?

Until Ilyich Omar has him taken out.

I’ve never seen anything like that before in congress. Wow.
He knows they are taking it too far. He doesn’t want to be associated with it. It may be because he thinks it’s beyond the pale and offends him or it may be because he thinks it’s bad politically but either way, respect to him for publicly shaming them all.

"did she just stomp her feet and storm off?"

This. She was visibly ate up about the fact that Trump, once again, used Rules for Radicals against the #Squat and pushed this through to the other side.
