It was way worse than anything any congressmen experienced on Jan 6, 2021

Gaetz took that bitches committee. That fat frick is probably vaxxed too, better calm his arse down.

What an idiot. I need to find the video. Why was Hudson compelled to get involved.
Like a "hold me back bro" type of moment

You can take the republican out of Alabama, but you can’t …

I have met Mike Rogers in person. The idea that he could physically beat anyone up is hilarious.

That rug on his head looks preposterous. I can’t believe grown men do that. How could a woman ever get wet knowing that kind of vanity in a man.

Other than McCarthy, what has Rogers ever fought for in DC? He will be the head of Armed Services Committee. He seems to have the the patience, calmness and thoughtfulness necessary to make life and death decisions.

This whole exercise is just the most recent exposure of how entitled these people are about virtually everything. McCarthy's turn to be speaker, how dare you oppose the majority, etc. They are awful people and I hope a bunch of these frick sticks get primaried.

Why is a Republican from Alabama so adamantly supporting a politician from California that is liberal on 46% of his recent votes?
Uni-party on full display…

I wonder if it was Donalds grandstanding, do you think Rogers woulda reacted the same?

Before congress fought like sissies.
The caning of Charles Sumner is probably the most famous violent attack in Congress, but it is far from the only one. In the three decades leading up to the Civil War, there were more than 70 violent incidents between congressmen, writes Yale history professor Joanne B. Freeman in The Field of Blood: Violence in Congress and the Road to the Civil War. It was a time of heightened tensions, especially over slavery—itself a violent institution that would drive the nation to a bloody war.
Congressmen during this period commonly carried pistols or bowie knives when they stepped onto the congressional floor. In fact, by the late 1850s, some constituents actually sent their congressmen guns. The fights that broke out among congressmen didn’t usually make it into newspapers (which themselves faced mob attacks for abolitionist sentiments); but there were some exceptions, especially in the decade before the Civil War. Brooks’ attack on Sumner, immortalized in a famous political cartoon, was one of those exceptions. Another was the only instance in which a congressman has ever killed another congressman.
t all started when Cilley, a Democrat from Maine, said something on the House floor that ticked off a prominent Whig newspaper editor. The editor asked Graves, a Whig from Kentucky, to hand-deliver a letter to Cilley asking if he wanted to take back what he’d said. But Cilley refused to accept the letter from the editor, who had a reputation for physically attacking congressmen, and Graves’ colleagues in the Whig party perceived this refusal as a slight. They advised Graves to challenge Cilley to a duel in order to maintain his political standing within his party. When Graves sent Cilley a letter challenging him to this duel, Cilley’s fellow Democrats told him he had to accept it for political reasons, too.
On February 24, 1838, the two representatives and several other men met for a duel with rifles in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Neither congressman was very good with a rifle, and both missed each other or misfired on the first two rounds. On the third round, Graves shot and killed his colleague, Cilley.

Too bad Hudson didn't pull off Rogers' rug.

Watch the video, it was in no way an “attack” or “lunge” as Faux News put it. Fake news

Gaetz would benefit from getting his arse kicked. Something tells me he isnt a fighter though.

I wish that soyboy would've tried that shite with me.

The division within the R Party is necessary! It cannot survive under current conditions....we will see how this pans out.
I have ZERO confidence....the DEMS are sitting back laughing! I would not be surprised if the DEMS took back the house in 2024.

Trump needs to back a republican challenger and play that video a billion times on Alabama television.

Mike Rogers is a fat fricking slob and a sorry excuse of a man. His fat fricking arse couldn’t run a mile without having a massive MI. These “men” in DC is what’s wrong with this country.

If you think that’s “attacked”…then you’ve never been in a real, actual fist fight.
