Congressman Bobby Rush Kicked Off House Floor For Wearing Hoodie - YouTube

Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) reprimanded on House floor*after wearing hoodie in honor of Trayvon Martin * - NY Daily News

Quote:
A congressman was ejected from the House floor after his attempt to stand in solidarity with Florida shooting victim Trayvon Martin — and draw attention to the scourge of racial profiling — ran afoul of the legislative body’s dress code.
Rep. Bobby Rush (D.-Ill) was escorted off the floor on Wednesday after he donned a hoodie during a speech deploring the killing of the unarmed teen.

I'm sure he doesn't mind that he was kicked off the floor. He just guaranteed his own re-election.
