The hearing on Tuesday (11 March) was adjourned after Democratic congressman Bill Keating confronted Republican Keith Self for the way he addressed Sarah McBride. Calling on trans Democrat Sarah McBride to speak, Keith Self said he recognised the “gentleman from Delaware” and referred to her as “Mr McBride.” She responded in kind, saying: “Thank you, Madame chair.”

Bill Keating then interrupted the proceedings to angrily confront Keith Self. “Will you repeat what you just said when you addressed a duly elected representative from the United States of America,” Keating asked.

Self responded: “I will: the representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride.” This prompted Keating to fire back angrily: “Mr Chairman, you are out of order. “Mr Chairman, have you no decency? I mean, I’ve come to know you a little bit, but this is not decent.”

Self tried to push ahead with the hearing but was cut off by Keating telling him that the committee would “not continue” until Self addressed McBride correctly.
