Dem Rep. Simon: Republicans Telling Al Green to Stop Heckling Trump Was ‘Something Out of History Class’

EXCERPT:

SIMON: “Tonight in the chamber, you could look easily to your right and you can see essentially a monolithic group of folks who look just like one another. And then you went to the left side and you would see what America truly looks like, a beautiful tapestry of all of us who pray differently, who look differently, who come from four corners of the globe to make this country what it is. We know what we all deserve. And I got to say, as a new member of Congress, I was shocked at what seems like a blatant disrespect for the House. And it wasn’t coming from Representative Green, it was coming from the men behind him on the right side who were telling him and yelling ‘sit down!’ I mean, it felt like I was watching something in a history class, a racist yelling at an elderly black man challenging the president of the United States not to cut medical care for the sick. What have we become?”
