Rep. Rush (D-IL) reading the Bible (taking it out of context in relation to racial profiling) in a hoodie - and being ushered away because he is wearing a hat.


Congressman Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) breaks House rules by donning a hoodie - YouTube

Priceless.

Sad.

It is obvious that there are different rules of decorum for white Republicans.

No there are rules and there also are when shoutig as we have seen.No sensibe person wants to see the senate become a demonstration meeting as its bad enough now. Perhaps what will be isto actually fine such rules violations.. .Sad it comes to this in the nations congress.That is what the 60's have brought us tho.No wandere the congress is at 20% apporval rating lst time i saw a poll.

Ah, shouldn't we ALL be sooooooooooooooooo proud of our employees?

I can only wish the next junket every Congressman takes is to the woodshed for a little back to reality check.

House of representative rules. Some are allowed, some aren't.

These rules may be archaic, even stupid....but it's not because the guy is black or a democrat.

Thanks for race baiting, greatly appreciated. I just cannot get enough of ill informed people blaming everything in the world on race.

Hey, wait a minute...you aren't one of those white racists that voted for Hillary in the 2008 primaries are you? I remember being warned about you guys. We can never be too careful in rooting out the people whom we disagree with and labeling them racist.

The only thing I could do when I read about this was just shake my head. Nothing these idiots in Washington does surprise me.
