Once again, Democrats act like their ridiculously slow pace in going to court to compel cooperation with subpoenas is part of some master plan and not about running out the clock on impeachment. https://t.co/fb6OWs0HYP — PolitiTweet.org

Only a true pedant could cry about decency and decorum as they defended a President making blatantly racist attacks against Members of Congress. Naturally, Republicans were up to the task today. https://t.co/WJz0v5ClxK — PolitiTweet.org

Ironic things today: -Kevin McCarthy saying historians would write about today -McCarthy chastising Dems for breaking House rules while he *literally* broke House rules -Sean Duffy complaining about the resolution while he called The Squad “anti-American” https://t.co/WJz0v5ClxK — PolitiTweet.org

Read to the end for a reminder that Eric Swalwell is much better at being a Member of Congress than he is at running for President. https://t.co/WJz0v5ClxK — PolitiTweet.org

Extremely weird day in the House. Democrats struggled with a rule that doesn’t allow members to say the President has made racist comments as they debated a resolution condemning the president for making racist comments. Republicans defended racism. https://t.co/WJz0v5ClxK — PolitiTweet.org

Mike Kelly is, perhaps, the whitest member of Congress. And I say that as maybe the definitive expert on white guys in Congress. I would rank Mike Kelly above — off the top of my head — Glenn Grothman, Steve Womack, and Mo Brooks, and THAT is saying something. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats adopt a resolution condemning the president's remarks as racist, 240-187. Four Republicans — and Justin Amash — voted with Democrats — PolitiTweet.org

Basically Eric Swalwell is just denouncing a number of things Trump has done as racist, while not mentioning the president. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Eric Swalwell just reviewed a bunch of things Trump had done — “saying immigrants are rapists is racist,” “calling African countries shithole countries is racist” — and now we’re stuck in another parliamentary flat circle as Republicans try to get his words taken down. — PolitiTweet.org

@ericgeller I actually pressed him on this and got some mishmash. — PolitiTweet.org

Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is waving around Jefferson’s Manual as he makes this floor speech calling out Democrats. Here to report that, actually, he’s using the manual as a prop and someone could make a point of order against that. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
We asked a bunch of Members of Congress whether they’d been told to ‘go back’ to your country and — shocker! — almost all of the minorities had. I’ll say this, though: Republican Mario Diaz-Balart bent over backwards to not call Trump’s statement racist. https://t.co/3iPVMh7oPB https://t.co/fdAq6oR7FE — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
RT @aterkel: Trump said his “go back” comment wasn’t racist. Well… we asked members of Congress today whether anyone has ever told them to… — PolitiTweet.org

Amash votes with Republicans this time to bar Pelosi from speaking for the rest of the day. He’s really living up to the independent thing at the moment. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Justin Amash, who voted with Democrats on not striking Pelosi’s words, is asking the parliamentarian staff some questions before he votes. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
The House is now voting on whether Nancy Pelosi is allowed to speak the rest of the day. Because her words were ruled out of order, the normal punishment is the member can’t speak again. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @JakeSherman: Not to be technical, but if the rule waived all points of order, isnt everything in order? — PolitiTweet.org

RT @dbernstein: If I was a member of Congress: Point of order: may I refer to the President's statement as 'bigoted bilge'? Point of order… — PolitiTweet.org

This whole episode is actually a very instructive lesson in how Democratic leaders respond to Donald Trump. He debases the Presidency and makes a racist attack on Members of Congress, Democrats draft a non-binding resolution and tear themselves apart over parliamentary rules. — PolitiTweet.org

@burgessev 0.5 and I’ll take the over. — PolitiTweet.org

Boy, if you’d asked me how today was gonna go in the House, I would have told you it was going to be a very stupid day. But no one anticipated it being *this* stupid. — PolitiTweet.org

As we debate whether Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s words calling Trump’s statement racist should be taken down, take a look at Rep. Sean Duffy’s speech from the House floor today: https://t.co/Df31npWTYv — PolitiTweet.org

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer takes the chair to rule that Pelosi's order are not in order. Republican Doug Collins makes a motion to strike Pelosi's words from the record. We're now voting on whether to strike down her words. — PolitiTweet.org

The House has been in a standstill for more than an hour as Democrats and the parliamentarian work out whether the Speaker can call a racist statement racist on the House floor. — PolitiTweet.org

From what I could hear, Cleaver said Republicans constantly wanted to escalate the partisanship. Apparently he finished his short speech by saying, "I abandon the chair." — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver — a former Congressional Black Caucus Chairman who was the presiding officer — said something, banged the gavel, then stormed off the floor. I'm not sure he made an actual ruling. Members on the floor look extremely confused. It was hard to hear him. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Here's something: If it's against the House rules to call the president's remarks racist, are they allowed to read the title of the resolution they're debating? https://t.co/C8uyfixtty — PolitiTweet.org

@EONealIII No, it actually seems very much worth remembering. — PolitiTweet.org

Today's a good day to remember that the vast majority of the rules of decorum Congress still uses were written by slave owners. — PolitiTweet.org
