House Chairman ‘Abandons the Chair’ After Pelosi Attacks Trump

‘We don’t ever, ever want to pass up, it seems, an opportunity to escalate and that’s what this is’

EXCERPT:

CLEAVER: "Chair is ready to make a statement. I came in here to try to do this in a fair way. I kept warning both sides, let's not do this, hoping we could get through. [inaudible] had a situation where we could be the in here on another motion to take down words of a friend of mine, but we don't ever ever want to pass up, it seems, an opportunity to escalate, and that's what this is. Are there anybody to look at the end of the footage and see if there was any unfairness? But unfairness is not enough, because we want to just fight. I abandoned the chair."
