When the controversial Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 was passed, popular sovereignty was applied within the two new territories and people were given the right to decide the slavery issue by vote. Because the act nullified the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the debate over slavery intensified. Northerners were incensed that slavery could again resurface in an area where it had been banned for over 30 years. When violence broke out in Kansas Territory, the issue became central in Congress. On May 19, Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner, an ardent abolitionist, began a two-day speech on the Senate floor in which he decried the “crime against Kansas” and blasted three of his colleagues by name, one of whom—South Carolina Senator Andrew P. Butler—was elderly, sick and absent from the proceedings.
Butler’s cousin, Representative Preston Brooks of South Carolina, who had a history of violence, took it upon himself to defend the honor of his kin. Wielding the cane he used for injuries he incurred in a duel over a political debate in 1840, Brooks entered the Senate chamber and attacked Sumner at his desk, which was bolted to the floor. Sumner’s legs were pinned by the desk so he could not escape the savage beating. It was not until other congressmen subdued Brooks that Sumner finally escaped.
Brooks became an instant hero in the South, and supporters sent him many replacement canes. He was vilified in the North and became a symbol of the stereotypically inflexible, uncompromising representative of the slave power. The incident exemplified the growing hostility between the two camps in the prewar years.
Sumner did not return to the Senate for three years while he recovered.
The most cringy thing about this whole exchange was AOC and her ghetto talk - “Baby GIRL, don’t even play!” What the fuck kind of talk is that? Who is she think she is, Cardi B?! She’s goddamn embarrassment. Talk about pandering to the youth. She literally makes me sick.
It's a lot less pathetic and embarrassing than the $35 TRILLION in debt that these assholes have racked up, or the $200 billion gifted to Ukraine with ZERO oversight on where the money went, or muh Israeli dual citizenship, or Covid lies, or ... or ... or ...
100%. But I'm not gonna lie --while I don't always trust MTG, I give her FULL credit for playing those self-righteous (when it's an advantage to THEM) assholes, and being unrepetant and standing by her admittedly schoolyard-ish taunts. She definitely knows how to push their buttons. LOLOL...AOC: "Baby girl!" LOL!
Crockett, as well as AOC, have NO place serving in Congress...and really should consider returning to the bar or the strip club, whereever their "services" are more applicable.
This is incredibly embarrassing for all of humanity. Disgusting pieces of shit on both sides of the aisle. Literally, actually burn the house down with everyone inside. These losers are get paid tax dollars to talk shit to each other on public record and argue whether the shit they talk is taken off the record..? I hate politicians. The system is beyond repair, we need a bad dictator/king like Caligula to rip out their fingernails and flay people in public just to induce fear again.
Trump 2024, for the love of all humanity if you don’t fix this people are going to snap
If this embarrasses you you may be to sensitive for this fight. This has a purpose, if they're gonna do kangaroo court work then tjey should be exposed as kangaroos. It's never gonna be pretty but you have to assume these are decorous upright folk if you get offended at this.
I’m not FUDing on the Q plan, this display of politics is objectively an embarrassment. Q said to notice the next [6] years in June 2019. I know it’s a wild ride til summer 2025 with ups and downs and ultimately a win for those who want truth and justice
This happens in high school classrooms all the time.
Who has Congressional fisticuffs on their bingo card?
Won't be long now before someone climbs over their pulpit and starts throwing haymakers. 👊💥🤕
It's happened in the past.

Doesn’t that happen in the UK a lot?

Catfights in congress? Don't we have anything better to do?

Yep, AOC is insufferable.
Someone commented on 17 hour days...
I think the whole thing was an act.
Agreed.
I heard them called "Cumbrellas" during a discussion of Stormy Daniels the other day. We need to get that trending everywhere.
Who was called cumbrella ?
The giant fake eyelashes.
Reason 723 why women shouldn't be involved.
Idiocracy was predictive programming It’s now the House of Representin’

What's bunch of pussies. The commies are o desperate to have something to be offended about to distract from any truth getting out.
They sure do fight a lot harder over fake eyelashes than they do over violation of the rights of the People.

LOL.
I thought what she did was funny and ... DESERVING.
Amen.
They act like 5 year old. What a bunch of children running the country.

What a fucking shit show congress has become....
LOL!
"Are your feelings hurt? Aww."
MTG to AOC: Why don't you debate me?
AOC: I think it's self-evident.
MTG: Yeah, you don't have enough intelligence.
I wanna see THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXmPDLRt6hA
For a second I thought I was watching another South African Parliament meme
Congress has devolved into a Jerry Springer show.
I just MTG called out Senator Jasmine for her stripper name as well. "Jasmine, your next up on the main stage!"
Seems more and more likely that MTG is playing a role. And it would seem part of that role is to jab and poke The Squad.
It's like a WWF show.
Part of the movie?
Green won that one.
Another episode showing how stupid our Congress is.
Miss Greene PULLED the PIN on the Grenade and ...... 🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨!!!!!!
Never seen so much fireworks in what OUR government has become...
Never tell a woman to calm down when they aren't calm. I've learned that IRL. And here is a good example in the video kek
And the ghetto comes out of that black woman when she's told to calm down
"ya'll gonna have a problem!!!!"

Rather than just the House, how about all of DC?
Fake Eyelashes=FE=Flat Earth. More psyop.
Bleach Blond Bad Built Butch Body=BBBy or 22 22 22 or both.
I don't know what they're saying, but I can hear what they're talking about.
Is that you dave?
No. Why would dave want to pretend to be me?
You have schizophrenia.
Could be. But what's that got to do with dave?
Is dave on Gab, because Gabby the frog sez "You Need To Be BaBYmaxxing" BEcause US "fertility" is DOWN 20%.
Also Trump truthed 88 seconds where the D's KEEP FALLING.
Hello? Is thing on?
Uhh.
FYI, I just spotted this. Looks like cROCKETt was the first to "play ball", which puts her on team White Hat, I think.
Also, what sorta comment is "Uhh" and how does it get a +2? 😁
