This clip of John Larson (D, CT) at House Ways and Means today, brought me to tears.

1. TAKE A LESSON DEMOCRATS

That was simply the most amazing speech I have ever heard a Democrat give. Wake up Democrats! Learn from something!
This is the way to take our democracy back - make them backdown.

[Skittles]

3. CORRECT

they need to be made to feel real SHAME - *IF* they are still capable of feeling shame; yes INDEED

[3auld6phart]

6. WOW

Damn straight . Come on Dems. Back this fellow up…. put those those cowardly pukes out to pasture…

[Skittles]

2. LOVE THIS

*THIS* IS HOW YOU DO IT

[Marie Marie]

4. Give that gentleman a standing f'in' ovation.

8. Its way overdue.

We need MORE like him.

[FoxNewsSucks]

9. Damn, why doesn't every elected Dem do this?

It reminded me of this

Obviously, it hasn't stopped. And it was depressingly hard to locate this video.

14. Thanks

This is what the Democratic politicians should be doing. I nhad never seen this before.

18. Oh my goodness! I remember that, seeing it back then. Righteous! Ty!

[Baron2024]

23. I Thought The Same Thing

Larson reminded me of Ted Kennedy, the Lion of the Senate. Still miss good old Uncle Ted.

10. Impressive. Larson is giving them the "works".

[godsentme]

11. Righteous rant

A must watch. Reminded me of Senator Ted Kennedy when he ranted at republicans for their greed.

[HarborMaster]

12. Yes

Congrats and thank you for being so bold as to speak the truth. One only hopes that some of the people that he speaking to and about will hear him. And just who the heck does Musk think he is to think he can run our country when we didn't vote him into ANY office? Damn him!

[samplegirl]

13. Kicked ass

My new Hero! He wasn't playing!

[Buddyzbuddy]

15. So awsome, so passionate.

16. Hot f*in' damn!

I hope this goes viral for all the right reasons.

It's a shame the Republicans he's schooling HAVE no shame.

17. I first saw a shorter vid clip of his speech. Impressive enough! Now, seeing the Whole Thing I am in tears as one....

the 73 Million in Eloon's, drumphf's, and Repuglicans monetary, and medical assistance crosshairs!

Thank you, Sir!
I left a thank you message by phone earlier today!
Even though I'm a NYC'r I think his office would be pleased to hear people thanking him for his rigeous pushback!!! Wow!

[SunSeeker]

19. Rachel showed that on her show tonight. So good!

This is how you talk to Republicans!

[vapor2]

20. Called his office and left a msg saying he was fabulous and told the truth

[Daleuhlmann]

21. John Larson is a Man of Courage and Integrity: His Fellow Democrats Need to Back Him!

Bold people like Larson will move public opinion to force Musk to answer questions under oath. Larson is right: Americans need answers!

[pfitz59]

22. Shame Shame Shame

Every Dem on every committee in every forum should be telling off their pathetic repug counterparts just like this!
