Shameful stunt continues: gop members eating pizza in room.

Dems say Cooper hearing is still stalled: Tom Malinowski just called this a “pathetic stunt”

It’s unclear when the Cooper hearing will start again since the members won’t leave the room

The GOP members are sitting there eating pizza right now, he said

-----------------------------------------------------

I hope they fucking choke on it.

1. oh man. my dream right now- pelosi and schiff, sergeant at arms in tow,

marching into that room w whips and chains.

[lagomorph777]

29. Oh wow I had that dream last night.

I can't reveal the rest of the dream.

[Sinistrous]

2. They must be removed

by whatever means necessary.
And then arrested.

[Docreed2003]

3. The thought of those smug assholes sitting there eating pizza is infuriating

[smirkymonkey]

5. +1000

I can't even say what I am thinking right now.

[klook]

4. I have a bag of used kitty litter that would make a great topping for their pizzas!

Just think of how beautiful it would look, floating down onto their heads from a couple of floors above, the sunlight filtering through the dust and chunks....

[catbyte]

14. I have a bunch of it, too.

[shanti]

6. Why are they still in the room??

Kick the mf'ers out! Good grief!

[crickets]

10. To make the Dems look weak and to turn serious hearings into a circus

Unfortunately, it's working at this point. Why is there security and a Sergeant at Arms again?

Regardless of what happens next, 1/ the hearings are disrupted, 2/ the news cycle is disrupted, 3/ the frothing base has their meat of the day to chew on.

Don't arrest or punish? Weak. (And WRONG - this is way beyond misbehavior.)

Do arrest/punish? Extend the news/base frenzy.

It's a despicable tactic, and it's working. If only the media would CALL THEM OUT, but we all know that will not happen, which is how they keep getting away with this crap.

[catbyte]

15. I think it's backfiring. Twitter is being brutal, so is all the media I'm watching.

gaetz & some other moron are backtracking their tweets "from inside the room" once they realized the serious breach of national security they just committed.

[crickets]

20. GOOD! It's about time.

Why these idiots didn't think about the security repercussions beforehand tells everyone just how lacking they are when it comes to taking their all aspects of their positions seriously.

[LakeArenal]

21. Why is security allowing pizza delivery?

[struggle4progress]

7. They should be reminded on the rules governing the secure location, together with the standards

of behavior expected for House members, and these matters should be referred to the Ethics Committee for its recommendation

[2naSalit]

8. I expect them to pay for it in

a very appropriate fashion within hours. Speaker Pelosi will deal with them.

[Sugar Smack]

9. Every day is looking more like the Dissociative States of Animal Farm.

I'm with you, catbyte: I hope they fucking choke on it.

[bdamomma]

11. they all need to be arrested

Schiff and Pelosi should be on top of this.

[TheRealNorth]

12. Are the capitol.police not doing their job?

Just like any other protester, just handcuff them, pick them up, and move them. If they resist, pepper spray or taser the mofos.

[Flaleftist]

13. Is there only one secure room in the capital?

Can they not just move to another location and have capitol police posted outside this time to prevent another stunt like this? Personally, I'd like to see them forcibly removed with whatever force it requires, but apparently Dem leadership is opposed to such action.

[raccoon]

17. You're not the only one. Nt

[crickets]

22. +1 Leaving them there with their pizza

and getting on with business in another secure location (locking the doors this time) would be a *sweet* turn of the tables.

[lagomorph777]

31. Lock them in.

[TeamPooka]

36. rooms are scheduled for use long in advance. Just finding a free hearing room on the spot

is not easy, much less a SCIF room.

[raccoon]

16. Republicans have no respect for the law or the constitution. Nt

[Wounded Bear]

32. Or for National Security...nt

[Arazi]

18. Lock them inside..they want to occupy it, make them stay in there

Don't let them out until tonight after everyone's gone home. Let them tantrum alone in there aaaallll day

[lagomorph777]

19. The new Pizzagate.

Goddamned pigs.

They are only making it obvious that they are covering up their own crimes. They will regret this day for the rest of their worthless lives.

[Initech]

23. Hope it's not from Comet Ping Pong.

Too soon?

[Kid Berwyn]

24. Obstruction of Justice

In plain sight yada yada blah blah blah.

Good time for Speaker Pelosi and the House Sergeant-at -Arms to confront them, face to face, and restore order.

Would be a good thing to show on national TV.

[KewlKat]

25. Surely there is more than one scif for heavens sake. Move to another secure room and leave them

choke on the pizza. I say lock them in and don't let them leave until arrangements can be made to put them in the dusty jail cells they haven't used in 40 yrs.

[2naSalit]

28. Cram them all in

that little cell with foil blankets, no water or potties. That will make them think twice as they try to squirm out of the zip-ties around their wrists.

[lagomorph777]

33. The SCIF could easily be converted to an instant jail cell.

Just lock 'em in and let 'em stew overnight.

[2naSalit]

34. Now that's an easier way to deal with them!

They've already corralled themselves in the room and they are the only ones there now so...


I love it! Late that pizza party be their last supper!

[riversedge]

26. Lock the doors so Repugs can not go to the Bathrooms.

[2naSalit]

35. Make them stay until bail is secured!

[redqueen]

27. I'm reminded of the Brooks Brothers riot

They have absolutely no shame.

[bobbieinok]

30. Probably dropping crusts on floor. And thinking what they could do with spittoons!

Dreaming up more ways to show contempt for the process of governing!
