How can you be the Chair when you don't understand your own by-laws of the legislative branch?

[trentp]

The truth can be quite exhausting for people who constantly deny it.

[gman]

Although DEI claims to be combating division, it seems to be causing it instead.

[jerryburns]

The black card is wearing very thin! The truth is what we should all be interested in no matter what are color!!!

[nordan]

DEI is directly responsible for the military’s recruitment shortfalls!

[raybates]

I'm sure when the Army was storming the beaches at Normandy and the Marine Corps was storming the beaches at Iwo Jima, they were praying for some diversity, equity, and inclusion in order to survive instead of the most qualified people fighting with them.

If Matt Gaetz got five minutes why did this video cut off after like 30 seconds? Where is the rest of this?

[renesteitz]

These people are clowns unless you're part of their freak show 😢

[aw]

Gaetz is correct. This is childish behavior from these elected officials in congress. It must come to an end.

[tiatopolski]

Democrat lawmakers you are wrong! We the people disagree with you!

[Stay-vigilant]

What’s exhausting is them playing the race card every time they speak.

[joybeum]

A white nationalist is NOT a white supremacist. Get that straight!
What we all want and what is needed is EQUAL OPPORTUNITY.

[johnjbarnes]

Basically he finished with Thank you all for proving my point on the necessity of this Bill.

[xlrr]

A white Nationalist isn't someone who is racist....it's someone who loves God, and country above all else. I am 100% a White Nationalist....I make no apologies for that.

[emilyharvey]

😂 that's his job. And he is good at it. Good job Matt!

[TheBlaster]

The black representative was out of order. For a supposedly educated person he apparently felt that he could violate Congressional conduct procedures without incurring any discipline. Furthermore, the chairmen is obviously too ignorant to understand what his role is. This kind of boorish and amateurish conduct is why the vast majority of Americans have no faith in or respect for Congress.

[gma]

The Chair refuses a parliamentary inquiry??? It's like he doesn't even know what that is.

[lnk]

Gaetz is exhaustive on purpose, and it's to his credit.

[MedHead]

Anyone remember no one giving a 💩 about race, and getting along in the 90’s? Now look at society, fractured and separated. I’m getting civil war vibes.
