GOP rep says he'll 'fight' the $5,000 fine he got for evading House metal detectors

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Newly elected Rep. Andrew Clyde said in a Fox News interview that he plans to "fight" the $5,000 fine for bypassing the metal detectors outside the House chamber in court.

The metal detectors are part of a safety measure in response to the Capitol riot on January 6. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced the measure, saying in January that members of Congress would have to pay $5,000 fines if they evade the metal detectors. If there's a second attempt at bypassing the metal detectors, the fine rises to $10,000.

"Those metal detectors are there to detain us, and that's a violation" of the Constitution, Clyde said in an interview Sunday on "The Ingraham Angle."

"I'm going to fight it," he added, when asked whether he plans to pay the fine. "I'm going to appeal it, and then I'm going to take it to court because this is unconstitutional."

I think this asshole is in for a rude awakening.

[CurtEastPoint]

1. Once again, on behalf of Georgia, we apologize for this 'Clyde' asshole.

He owns a fucking gun shop. I'm sure he masturbates with his guns around him.

[brer cat]

13. He's in my district.

His campaign signs had large images of guns on them. No question where his mind goes.

[CurtEastPoint]

16. Is this the same dist that elected Broun or whatever his name is.

[brer cat]

18. No. Paul Broun was in the 10th and Clyde is 9th.

Clyde won the seat previously held by Doug Collins. We really know how to pick the crackpots up here in the mountains.

[CurtEastPoint]

19. I looked it up and when Broun left Preacher Jo-dee Lice got elected. Fuckers all.

[634-5789]

2. He was warned fully about this infraction. Screw 'em.

[Poiuyt]

3. Did Pelosi implement this unilaterally, or was there a House vote

[soothsayer]

4. Vote

[Poiuyt]

6. Then Clyde and Gomer have nothing to stand on.

[DonaldsRump]

5. I scrolled down to see if this was Borowitz or The Onion!

[NYC Liberal]

7. Article I, Section 5

Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behavior, and, with the Concurrence of two-thirds, expel a Member.

The House passed a rule.
The House is punishing members who disobey.

That’s in the constitution.

8. Just walk through. Like you do in many other establishments. How hard can that be?

Another idiot in the House.

[Kyblue1]

9. I am amazed by how many Repugs are constitutional scholars

I doubt if they have ever had a course on the Constitution. I would bet many would not pass a basic civics test, Tommy Tuberville being my first choice. Of course the ones who know better still cry “unconstitutional” for the benefit of their moronic base.

[tishaLA]

10. He's just thirsty for some of Marge Greene's fundraising $$$

Gotta show a little leg to appeal to the MAGAts

[bluestarone]

11. NO RULES FOR RETHUGS

Fucking RUSSIAN TRAITORS all of them.

[Deuxcents]

12. Take it which court?

Who will file his suit n represent him? Doesn’t his district have more pressing issues?

[marble falls]

14. Him vs Speaker Pelosi. Hmmmmmm ..........

[muntrv]

15. Good luck with that one, Clyde.

[Generic Brad]

17. So...anything you don't like is unconstitutional?

I don't think that's how it works.

[Vivienne235729]

20. Exactly!!!

[struggle4progress]

21. Oh! the slithery dee

[nolabear]

22. Good. Hope it costs him a bundle.

[msfiddlestix]

23. When He takes it Court, What's he gonna do when they take his weapon away before entering?

Sue the Court too?
