One former Ted Cruz staffer here was pretty unforgiving, and this former aide says there are a handful of current Cruz staffers who want to quit right now: https://t.co/yvGFVOJcgq https://t.co/4Fuq8DuLaV — PolitiTweet.org

A story about the private anguish a lot of Republican staffers in Congress are feeling over their boss' behavior. And before you reach for the world's smallest violin, read the story. https://t.co/yvGFVOJcgq — PolitiTweet.org

The Robinhood guy said “Black Swan.” Drink! (And by “drink,” I mean “read Nassim Taleb’s 2007 book ‘The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable.’”) — PolitiTweet.org

@NeerajKA So glad you’re here, Neeraj. Wanted to send you this the other day: https://t.co/bjFfRnLdVK — PolitiTweet.org

It’s so damn fitting that the random GameStop investor they brought for this hearing is sitting in a gamer chair, using a streamer mic, and has a little cat poster in the background that says “Hang in there.” He knows his role here is to be a meme, and he nailed it. https://t.co/k0Qnu39M4G — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve actually never seen a chair interrupt an opening statement and direct a witness to, in effect, answer questions that’ll be raised — and I watch an alarming number of congressional hearings. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
First brouhaha at the Robinhood hearing. The CEO of Robinhood begins opening statement with some milquetoast remarks. Chairwoman Waters interrupts and asks him to address recent controversy. Ranking Republican McHenry notes it’s his opening statement. Ruling: McHenry is right. — PolitiTweet.org

Jared Huffman on Lauren Boebert: “If somebody wants to have a shrine to their gun fetish as a Zoom backdrop in their private life, they can do that. But this is our hearing room and at some point we will get past the Covid epidemic and we’ll all start showing up in person...” — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
As the Robinhood hearing starts, the real action — apparently — is at the Natural Resources organizing meeting, where Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) is roasting Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) for the gun shrine she’s constructed as a Zoom background. https://t.co/I5GdIVsM1B — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve also seen a statement floating around from Russ Fulcher — still waiting on them to return my request for comment! — but he makes it out like I’m the basis of this investigation. Russ, the police called me. I’m thinking it was the officer you pushed. https://t.co/ljAx70KPhO — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
So here’s an actual story about the whole thing. Police are investigating two Congressmen over incidents at the metal detectors outside the House chamber: One for potentially assaulting an officer, the other for trying to bring a gun onto the floor. https://t.co/ljAx70KPhO — PolitiTweet.org

@LEBassett Also, very commonly the “last” story you write for a publication. 20 years from now, my last HuffPost story may be...a John Boehner obit. — PolitiTweet.org

After I saw Fulcher ignore the magnetometers the next day — and tweeted about it — he tweeted this thread. Pretty rich: — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Russ Fulcher @RepRussFulcher
The Capitol Police are heroes. I continue to support and thank them for their service. 1/5
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Anyway, I’m glad to learn they’re investigating both of these incidents. The Fulcher interaction should have been bigger news. The officer must have reported it — as she should have. No civilian would get away with grabbing a cop like that and pushing them aside so forcefully. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
The cops wouldn’t tell me exactly what they were investigating about that incident, but judging by their questions, they were interested in determining whether Harris’s gun was concealed... — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
The other investigation was about Andy Harris bringing a gun to the House chamber, being turned away, and then asking Rep. John Katko if he would take the gun for Harris. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Mind you: This was six days after January 6th, and the first night of the metal detectors outside the House floor. These cops had been through an awful lot, and this Member really was...aggressive. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
The interaction has definitely stuck with me, because he was very aggressive, yes, but also because that officer was pretty disturbed too. I tried to ask her about it after, and while she wouldn’t say anything, she nearly had tears in her eyes. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
The first investigation is about Rep. Russ Fulcher manhandling an officer who was at the metal detectors outside the House floor. I saw him very aggressively brush a female officer aside after he set the magnetometer off the night of 1/12. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
So Capitol Police called me today to come in for an interview. They were pretty cryptic on what it was about, but it turns out they have two ongoing investigations that I was witness to: one, the potential assault of an officer by a Member of Congress, the other, Andy Harris. — PolitiTweet.org
