Democrats are getting frustrated trying to keep pace with Donald Trump.
Tensions are starting to boil over.
And James Comer threatened a Florida Democrat for calling Trump one unthinkable name.
House Democrat has an ugly meltdown over Donald Trump
Frustration is growing among Democrats during the beginning of President Donald Trump’s second term.
The party is rudderless without a leader and struggling to come up with a message.
Democrats are left scrambling to respond as Trump moves at lightning speed to enact his agenda.
A House Oversight Committee hearing turned into a shouting match as tempers flared over Trump.
Chairman James Comer (R-KY) threatened to throw 28-year-old Representative Maxwell Frost (D-FL) out of the hearing.
Frost used his time to speak during the hearing to claim that Trump was a “grifter” and that he and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk were using the federal government to line their pockets with billions of dollars.
The Florida Democrat argued that Comer was ignoring the real waste, fraud, and abuse in the government, which was Musk and Trump.
“So if we wanna look at waste, fraud, and abuse — which I’m down to do — why is there complete silence on the other side of the aisle about looking at the complete grifter that is the President of the United States,” Frost ranted. “And the richest man on the Earth, which is looking into things like social security and different things like that? Why don’t we investigate the real corruption?”
Members of the committee began shouting at each other after Frost’s rant.
James Comer threatens to have House Democrat thrown out of a hearing
Comer gave Frost the opportunity to revise his statements for the record because of Congressional decorum.
“We’re going to let the chair recognize Mr. Frost. You’re going to revise the disparaging remark about the President because that’s supposed to be our decorum here,” Comer explained.
Frost tried to get cute with the committee chairman.
“I can say Trump is grifting, what I will withdraw is ‘Grifter in Chief,’” Frost stated, before calling out “President Musk.”
Comer was amused at the 28-year-old trying to play games on the House Oversight Committee’s time.
“The member is barred from further participation,” Comer said.
Frost called the decision “despicable” which led the chairman to threaten to throw him out of the hearing.
“Mr. Ranking Member, I am going to have the Sergeant at Arms remove him if he doesn’t refrain!” Comer told Representative Gerry Connolly (D-VA) – the top Democrat on the committee.
Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) tried to join the fray when she was called on.
“Insulting people’s appearance, as well as trying to fight them, isn’t a problem,” Crockett ranted. “But we’re so sad that our little leader–”
“Skip her!” Comer exclaimed. “Go to the next one!”
Frost, the youngest member of Congress, was allowed to remain in the hearing.
He was defiant after the hearing he was nearly kicked out of.
“I’m going to stand up. I’m not going to let anyone scare me into not talking about the truth and not knowing what’s going on,” Frost said.
Democrats are losing their cool trying to figure out how to handle Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
