The only coming together here is the coming together between the master of distraction, the big tweet down the street, who is joined here by the masters of deceit in Congress. They ignore any wrong he commits.

It should be rejected. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President.
