It must be so difficult to refer to that twit as the "gentle-lady."

And his tie was a nice touch!

The colors of the tie, and the vomitus referring to her as "gentlelady" instead of c*** or vile sk***. Both words apply to her, not because of her gender, but because of how absolutely rancid and disgusting she is.

I've really liked the videos of Raskin lately, we need to hear a lot more like that. The time of being nice to "our friends on the other side" is long past. They are not friends, they are not even on the side of America. Fuck them all.

I can't recall him being a serious contender in the conversation, but he's emerging as a worthy candidate to succeed Joe Biden, when the day comes. There are so many Dems that I'd rank head and shoulders above ANY ReThug: Pete Buttigieg, Katie Porter, Stacey Abrams, Ted Lieu, Hakeem Jeffries, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren and, of course, Kamala Harris, among others.

Personally, I think Marjorie should be sent to Ukraine on a fact-finding mission. It's not like she is doing anything in congress. Maybe Bucha and Mariupol.

Normally, the female counterpart of "gentleman" is either just "lady" or else "gentlewoman" - if you are listening for it I think you can catch that the hearing presider used "gentlewoman." Raskin is thoroughly ;literate and knows how to use language. I think it's a troll.

of the House of Representatives it's always "gentleman" for males and "gentlewoman or gentlelady" for females. It's supposed to be polite protocol for members, even if they're disgusting pieces of shit.

I have no doubt Raskin addressed her as such, even though the bile rose into his mouth when he said it. Raskin is a gentleman and would follow protocol, no matter how disgusted he was with her (and rightfully so).

She's certainly no damned "lady", and she's as gentle as a wounded bull alligator.

Thank you, Representative Raskin, for putting that churlish shrew in her place.

She's like those old rubber Bobo dolls, no matter how hard you puch them, they just roll right back up and in your face and with exactly the same amount of intelligence, heart and soul.

At least I hope the Ukranian army is not killing Ukranian children.

I'm very happy to see some dems calling members of the GOP what they are in plain language. I hope it keeps up and gets louder and more frequent. Thank you, Jaime Raskin

It's mind-boggling that millions of Americans can't see that and admire, practically worship, belligerently ignorant boors like Pissolini, Gaetz, Gohmert, Jordan, Cruz, MTG, etc.

proud of his refusal to remain silent. It wasn't surprising when the demand for his words to be taken down was uttered, that's how the GOPers roll. But it immediately evoked a fairly recent similar moment to which Steny Hoyer responded (paraphrasing here), So truth is not allowed to be spoken in the House?
