Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) got visibly angry on the floor of the House of Representatives on Wednesday because House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called President Donald Trumps attacks on four Democratic congresswomen racist one day before.
In denouncing the speaker, McCarthy bitterly complained that the Democrats have shown a disregard for decorum when they called out Trump for being racist.
Yesterday, we did a resolution attacking the president, but we couldnt even get to that because, Madame Speaker, we couldnt even have decorum in this body! he said. We set a record that weve never seen before based upon a Speakers actions! The very first page in Thomas Jeffersons manual talks about decorum, but not only did this body try to change the rules after the fact, they dont think everybodys equal, Madame Speaker, because if your words get taken down, you dont have a right to speak that day but, no, we should change that!
McCarthy then accused the Democrats of not doing anything productive and instead focusing its efforts on having contempt of Congress votes for Attorney General Bill Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. He also knocked the Democrats for having former special counsel Robert Mueller testify publicly about his findings on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

(23,297 posts)Crying like babies about "decorum" when they have the most ignorant, loud-mouthed, belligerent, unstatesman-like so-called statesman leading the way for the white supremacist movement. They praise him for his lack of decorum and then complain that Dems have no decorum. FRAUDS!! All of you bastards.

That should be a Democrats response every time this asshole opens his FAT TRAP with bullshit like this on the House Floor.
But no, we have too much decorum for that.
