Steny Hoyer said "The equivalency that has been made here is absolutely without merit, and you go down a terrible road. I do not agree with the statements that were made. I oppose them. I said on this floor that I opposed them. But by golly, there are a whole lot of your folks over there that I disagree with vehemently who rationalized insurrection and that would be a reason for me to vote for having them off a committee. But that is not how we operate. But if a Member threatens another Member, that is a different kettle of fish altogether. Mr. Speaker, I oppose this resolution and urge its rejection. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to direct their remarks to the Chair." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
