They marched down the steps in a slow procession, as if they were going to some funereal event. By the time they marched down to the Secret SCIF Room, they were like a mob. All they needed were Tiki torches. They had to settle for pizzas.
They left the pizza boxes behind. They must have taken the beer cans with them?
Either way, it was an embarrassing display of stupidity, and below the dignity of a "so-called" Congressman.
