    He’s the Chair of the Committee; it is quite literally his job to maintain decorum and everyone else’s job to not speak out of turn. Only Mullin was being a child here, no reason to impugn everyone else in the room for doing what they were supposed to be doing and letting the Chair handle it.

      And to be clear, mullin is doing this because he got his fee fees hurt by a mean twitter reply.

      Who are these others whose honor you are so concerned with? Those chairs are mostly empty. The bums didn’t even show up.

      Really? The guy who challenged him to a fist fight “anytime, anywhere” and then agreed to it in the chambers wasn’t being a child? Only the one who accepted the challenge? How does that work?

        I don’t care if those “tough guys” want to slog it out, but the choice of time and place shows such a serious lack of common sense that it would be alarming for a professional fighter, not to mention an elected representative.

        The guy thought that, when challenged anytime anywhere, there and then, in Congress, during a hearing would be a good time and place. smh
