House Democrats booed and chanted. Did Republicans fear for their lives?

C-Span has a video of House Democrats booing Republicans for changing how they voted in order to defeat a bill to protect LGBT people from discrimination by federal contractors.

Will DWC condemn this "violence" and demand that Nancy Pelosi apologize for the actions of the congressional Democrats she leads?

Shouldn't Republicans be pitied for the awful actions of Democrats who made them fear for their lives?

It's a good thing that Barbara Boxer is a senator and not a member of the House--how would she make it through the day surrounded by such scary Democrats?

Watch the entire video to hear the ebb and flow of the booing and the chants. But be advised--it's very scary!

I posted about this story today in GDP but it got locked. Here is a link to the thread if you want to see the comments.

Thanks for the link. This story will reveal (yet again) the hypocrisy of the Democratic leadership.

Anyway I had fun using my sarcasm pen to write it.

Put out a Press Release, that all the "News" Readers on CNN and MSNBC had to read -- because their bosses said so -- and repeat ad nauseam saying they were "in fear of their lives" because the Democrats booed and hissed on the U.S. House Floor, yet?

Oh, I forgot, this happened today. Maybe the memo will reach the MSM on Saturday or Sunday -- because it took three days after the event for the last Press Release of "What Happened in Vegas -- The Lying Narrative" to reach the MSM previously. Even in this internet age, things move slow -- if its planned in advance to do so.

That was violence, I tell you. Violence! That needs to be condemned unequivocally! They're just like Trump supporters!
