Rep. Chip Roy Storms out of Hearing After Dispute with Rep. Connolly

‘I do just want to say shame on my colleague from Texas’

EXCERPT:

ROY: “We all have families. What are we passing down to them? $100 million of debt per hour? It’s extraordinary. Wide open borders, destroying communities, endangering lives of Americans in south Texas while I get smirks from my Democratic colleagues, while there are people right now facing attacks from cartels, dealing with it on a daily basis and we get smirks, and we get requests for emails from people in the White House. This is the face of the Democratic Party. This is the face of your Congress today, America."
CUMMINGS: "Mr. Connolly."
CONNOLLY: “I thank the chair."
CUMMINGS: "Mr. Connolly."
CONNOLLY: "I thank the chair. I have a motion. I do just want to say shame on my colleague from Texas. To question the motivation of Democrats —“
ROY: “Shame on this body.”
CONNOLLY: “Yeah, I know. We’ve heard from you. It’s my time. It’s my time.”
ROY: “And you’ll continue to hear from me --”
CUMMINGS: “Wait a minute!”
ROY: “-- in defense of this country.”
CONNOLLY: “Mr. Chairman.”
CUMMINGS: “Hold up. He has the time.”
CONNOLLY: “I have the time.”
ROY: “America deserves the time.”
UNKNOWN FEMALE: "For God’s sake."
CONNOLLY: “Yeah. America deserves better than what it’s just heard from, mister.”
UNKNOWN FEMALE: "He can’t take it."
CONNOLLY: "Mr. Chairman, I have a motion."
UNKNOWN FEMALE: "He's taking his ball and going home. Bye."
