Rep. Cleaver: I Was Embarrassed to Remain as Chair Presiding

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver explained on Wednesday why he abandoned the chair while presiding over a resolution the night before to condemn President Donald Trump's recent tweets as racist, telling CNN’s “New Day” that the entire episode was embarrassing to the House of Representatives.

"Frankly, I was embarrassed to remain as the chair presiding," said the Missouri Democrat. ”Here we were in the House of Representatives, and every person who spoke violated the House rules."

When asked to expand on what was embarrassing, Cleaver said, “I don't know if anybody can look at what's going on here on Capitol Hill and think that it's OK and think that it's the normal way in which legislators conduct themselves.”

Only reason this is even an issue is an attempt by the dems to keep bill clinton and his trips to pedophile island out of the spot light.

They should be embarrassed. Democrats called the session to try and claim Trump a racist. Trump would be happy because they were acting like fools.
