LOL! Democratic Congressman LASHES OUT IN ANGER At GOP For Obstructing Immigration

[Segami]

What do we have here? A Democrat with a backbone who has finally stood up for something? Do we have a member of the House who is willing to lose their cool every once in a while when it means standing up for what is right and just?

A SPINE has the floor....................


Democratic Representative Jared Polis of Colorado, while delivering a speech on the House floor, erupted in sheer anger when the Republican Speaker Pro Tempore, Tea Partier Jackie Walorski, expressed her dismay at him for addressing the many immigration reform supporters who had sat in the House gallery to watch the proceedings. Enraged at the Madame Speakers sheer hostility towards those who traveled miles to have their voices heard, Polis rightfully erupted:

“I want you, Madame Speaker, to address the reason why they are here! They are here, because our government is tearing apart their families!”

The Speaker then attempted to cut him off, but he prevailed and lashed out in full force against his obstructing colleagues on the right, leaving her speechless, blindly staring at the impassioned Democratic Congressman.

“Will the Speaker understand that she is obstructing HR15 (immigration reform) from coming to the floor? Will the speaker understand that? That is why there are men and women in the gallery that potentially face deportation and their families are being torn apart! It’s very simple!”

As the Speaker banged her gavel and accused Polis of being “out of order,” he continued to lambaste her and her colleagues for their obstruction, saying “Will the Speaker understand that the Speaker is preventing HR15 from coming to the floor” over and over again. Bottom line, it is a fact that the Republicans won’t allow a vote on the bill, because they know the Democrats and some Republicans would vote for it, and it would pass.

3. Bring light to this darkness.

This is what the progressives are waiting for, politicians who stand-up for the people. Did you notice when these repubs are called out on their harmful policies they have no rebuttals. This lady speaker was squirming all around the podium. I wonder which of all the liberal media outlets will run with this? When the largest medias won't cover a presidential speech on immigration, who is going to stand up and call them out?

16. My Congressman

What a guy! Makes Colorado proud. Especially as compared with our newest Congressman Ken Buck, a Tea Party crazy, who tweeted that he lost his appetite after Obama came to the restaurant where he was having lunch. Even the Denver Post called out Buck. I'll tell Jared that DUers enjoyed his little outburst.
