“This Is Why The American People Have Thrown You Out Of Power”

Yesterday Rep. Steve Buyer, a Republican from Indiana, requested five minutes of time to discuss on some veterans legislation that was about to be brought to a vote but hadn't yet been debated in the chamber.

The acting Speaker, Rep. Laura Richardson of California, denied his request after taking direction from someone unseen. Rep. Buyer then asked for one minute. He was again denied by Richardson acting on someone else's direction, at which point Buyer lets the Democrats have it pointing out that nobody was in the chamber to object. At one point his microphone gets cut off before he's finally recognized to speak…for one minute. Eventually, through a point of order, he uses these words:

"This Is Why The American People Have Thrown You Out Of Power"

Agreed!
