    But she didn’t do as much as Al Green. Al Green wouldn’t stop so he had to be removed. MTG said her piece then shut up. I fully support Al Green, just saying this isn’t a valid comparison.

      As if there aren’t countless examples of Republicans putting on ridiculous theatrics to disrupt Democratic majority house business without ANY consequences.

      The fact remains that when a Democrat stands up and causes he disruption he gets thrown out and censured by members of his own party, but when the Republicans do it nothing happens.

      Don’t be fucking pedantic, there is absolutely a double standard at play here.

        It isn’t being pedantic to call out this specific comparison as being unfair. You can still have your other examples.

        This specific one (Green and Green) is what is being discussed. Don’t use worse examples when (allegedly) better ones exist.
