Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) questions Reverend Al Sharpton about past comments that are considered racially charged. Rep. Gaetz cited comments made by Joe Scarborough from several years ago, before Scarborough and Sharpton became MSNBC colleagues. The exchange became heated and several democrats called for points of order throughout. This came during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Oversight of Policing Practices.

    It is a crying shame these clowns are paid for this circus.

    I would've lost it in that court laughing so hard 🤣🤣🤣

    Please let the witness finish answering the question without being interrupted each time.

    What a circus!!!! Our Congress acts like a bunch of sixth graders
  • @jonweiss4223
    Term limits are needed, one term in the House, one term in the Senate, and one term in Federal Prison.

    Whoever said “Aww, woe is me. I pick a fight and now I need help” at 19:17 is my new hero.
  • @queenli3047
    Matt Gaetz has knowingly engaged in relationships with children, yet he is trying to reprimand someone on ethics? I’m so tired of this government already.

    This was a waste of my tax money, and now time.
  • @SHARONCRAKER
    This is why nothing ever gets done in Washington.
  • @suzannegriffin5121
    This is the most insane thing I've ever seen. Why don't they just say, I know you are but what am I? That would save us all a lot of time, cause that would make just as much sense as this conversation.

    Truth does not mind being 😮questioned. A lie does not like being questioned.
  • @jesse1298
    We the people demand term limits for Congress, NOW!
  • Get rid of these clowns and give us all our money back and get real persons who know what the heck they are doing.

    Why did it get so quiet when Rep. Johnson asked the question? You could hear a pin drop - for a while.
