Democrats Mock GOP Whining About 'Decorum' After Their Party 'Incited An Insurrection'
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING LEESBURG, Va. – House Democrats on Thursday rejected Republican criticism that they’ve been slacking in their standards of decorum. “We will not take a lecture on decorum from a party that incited an insurrection,” Rep. Sarah McBride said at a press conference during an annual retreat outside of Washington for House Democrats. Several Democratic lawmakers protested during President Donald Trump’s speech at the Capitol last week and have used profanity on multiple other occasions recently, prompting House Speaker Mike Johnson to chide them earlier this week. “Many of you have written about this new track they’ve taken, the new strategy where they just scream and shout and curse at everyone.” Ten Democrats joined all Republicans last week in voting to censure Rep. Al Green for disrupting Trump’s speech. It was the first time a lawmaker got thrown out of a presidential address and indeed the worst breach of decorum in the Capitol since a pro-Trump mob stormed the building on Jan. 6, 2021, in an effort to stop lawmakers from certifying Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
