The House Appropriations Committee’s top Democrat, Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Comnecticut, called Republicans on the committee “terrorists” on Tuesday. Another member of the committee shouted that the Republicans on the committee are “bigots!”
DeLauro’s outburst sent the committee into recess while Committee Chair, Rep. Kay Granger of Texas, worked to have that remark stricken from the congressional record.
The Appropriations Committee was voting on earmarks inside the funding packages for the Department of Transportation. Outbursts by Democrats sent the committee into recess three separate times on Tuesday.
Democrats were angry about a Republican amendment to the funding package that would strip money from a handful of LGBTQ centers in certain districts in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
Politico called it “the latest in a series of culture-war-related amendments offered by House Republicans in recent weeks — and it’s an especially personal furor, since the proposal would strip money requested for specific projects in lawmakers’ districts.”
Republicans, however, say that, in spite of what the media says, it is the Democrats who are conducting a culture war on America.
The amendment prohibits extraneous flags, such as “gay pride” flags, or any other specialty flag from being flown on government property by the government itself.
Rep. Mark Pocan, a Wisconsin Democrat, shouted that the Republicans are bigots and the amendment would lead to people being beat by baseball bats just because they are gay.
“I wasn’t out yet, left a gay bar, and two people followed me and beat me with a baseball bat ’till I was bloodied unconscious and called me a ‘faggot,'” Pocan said. “This is what you guys do by introducing amendments like this taking away from people’s earmarks.”
Pocan, who could barely contain himself, continued shouting, “But when you do it to the LGBT community, it’s another frickin’ day in Congress.They always say there are Democrats, Republicans, and appropriators, and now we have to say there are Democrats, Republicans, appropriators, and unfortunately a bigger umbrella called bigots!!!”
Watch Pocan melting down on video here.
Rep. Ryan Zinke, a Republican from Montana, spoke to the issue, saying that “Appropriations should be appropriate,” and that having taxpayers pay for hormone replacement therapy, drag shows, and a youth Communist league, is not appropriate.
“The LGBTQ Center of Greater Reading, one of the proposed earmarks, “provides counseling services for HRT, which is hormone therapy, and gender-affirming surgery referrals, hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgery, diagnostics of gender dysphoria, adequate support, and HRT and top and bottom surgery,” Zinke said. “That’s what it does. The question is: Should taxpayers pay for this? The answer is no.”
Another earmark that was amended out of the bill was for the William Way LGBT Community Center, which pays for the Young Communist League of Philadelphia. That is the same group that created a protest against the parents rights group, Moms for Liberty, which was having their Philadelphia summit two weeks ago.
look at that blue haired FREAK!
At first glance I thought, ‘she looks like a witch’.
Hey! That’s offensive to Witches.
Stay on the high road my friends. Very few people are truly very physically attractive; but that point is irrelevant to this topic. I’m nothing special to look at; not handsome; rather homely actually. However, that is not relevant to whether I should be allowed to fly my social club flag on taxpayer property? Even the most physically-attractive people should not be allowed to do that. If you harm a person because they are a homosexual then you should go to jail. However, just like the rest of us, homosexuals should not fly a their club flag on government buildings.
Stupid politicians don’t know what a terrorist is or a woman. Everybody I talk with can’t stand lying politicians and their rhetoric. When the house of cards falls we need to go see all those responsible and hold court.
Add terrorist the the list of epithets aimed as people who don’t agree with democrats. It won’t be the last one. For example, listen to Lisa run her mouth today. Cheers –
Call me a bigot all you want. It has no meaning because you’ve bastardized the word to where it has no meaning.
whenever a democrat accuses a conservative of something, it is usually exactly the 0pposite.
Their flags are what?
The raised Fist.
The gay pride rainbow, and the hammer and sickle.
Our flags are the Flag of the United States of America, The Alaska Flag, The Gadson Flag, and in my case, the Stars and Bars.
Every one of our Flags were paid for in full, with blood.
We’ll, there goes the classic Democratic Party propaganda, call people names on what they themselves are. It should be putting up make believe flags in lieu of the US flag.
The new LGBTQ flag should include a Target at the center. And I’m not talking about the store.
Yeah, incite violence, that’s the ticket.
That’s right Maureen, only the left can dabble in violence these days (AntiFa, BLM, Jane’s Revenge, etc). As I have said before, you guys really aren’t going to like playing under your new rules. Cheers –
Maureen, we thought you were departed. Do ya think you will make it to Trump’s inauguration in January 2025?
And what does your antifa do? Your lib left is just as guilty. Try to come to your senses Maureen.
Our government is so awa$h with spending that at this point different viewpoints, different moralities, different socio-economic-political philosophies, are all just proxies for all these groups really just fighting each other over $hares of the $pending pie. Remove the exce$$ pie and perhaps we’d all get along better; no reason to fight if nothing to fight over. Works with children, and since most people seem to be acting like children these days maybe treat them as such.
There’s only one flag that should fly on a federal building. Not rocket science like the freaks would have you believe. Furthermore, who put a patent on rainbows. They are a beautiful work of nature not created to represent freaks of nature. Like blue haired zombies, and the sorts. If you aren’t comfortable with what God gave you, shineola won’t help.
Smaller government is a worthy goal evidently.
Seriously, why do not they simply cross their arms, stamp their feet, and threaten to hold their breath until they turn blue?
That is exactly the level of maturity they exhibit time after time, that of a five-year-old.
They are exactly what they represent themselves to be.
Spoiled children with emotional and cognitive issues that are given a power that they cannot control within an adult manner, as they are not adults, no matter their age, but the misguided children they believe themselves to be that cannot accept reality, within that their reality is not real at all, but simply a self-supported delusion of reality in which they are somehow considered ‘normal’, or somehow part of a ‘normal’ society simply because of their demands of not acceptance, but of celebration.
It is not enough to be allowed to simply exist without repercussions of said existence, quietly existing amongst the rest of society, living their lives as the rest do, simply seeking contentment within their existence.
No.
These deluded individuals demand much more than that. They demand much more than simple existence, much more than acceptance, much more than celebration of their existence.
They demand obedience and subservience unto their existence from the population at large, and especially from the offspring of the populace at large, so as to garner more members of their convoluted ilk, so as to justify their own disturbed existence, as they cannot justify their own existence unto themselves.
They must have weaker, more influential, and more malleable supporters other than adult individuals that can actually resist intellectually, through reason, what is falsely presented unto them.
The weak seek out the weak so as to bring them within the fold of the weak, within the hope of making them strong, which they shall never be, as that shall never be part of their existence.
They shall only ever be able to cross their arms, stomp their feet, and hold their breath.
And though they may be able to get their way under certain circumstances, as is given unto them by outside forces, eventually they shall be ignored by the populace at large, and they shall simply fade away unto their final resting place of irrelevant, as they honestly are now.
Randy says: “Seriously, why do not they simply cross their arms, stamp their feet, and threaten to hold their breath until they turn blue?”
I’ll note that Rosa DeLauro is well on her way. Cheers –
Sorry it’s not terroristic to only allow the American Flag on those buildings. Not an alphabet persons dum sexual preference. Anything but the American Flag makes us like a bunch of clowns supporting that nonsense. The American people are done with these morons throwing words like terroristic around because they don’t get their way. Grow up!!
I thought Dorthy and Toto melted Her with a bucket of water.
So I guess if somebody invents a white supremacist flag, that should by rights be able to flown from flagpoles at federal buildings as well?
Correct.
This is what happens when we put gen-x and Millennials in leadership, management, and supervisor roles. I continue praying for Gen x those under 24 God get them working to learn how to serve from those jobs that’ll hire as young as 15. An encouraging thing happening in Anchorage he answered part of my prayer when I prayed he’ll get workers for Abbott McDonald’s even if they are teens to Finally help the loyal and dedicated current crew who were very short staffed a couple months ago. The parents should be very proud and honored their anchorage 15-17 year olds are working even if they can only work 2 hours per day. Cause we going to need our gen x youth and younger adults currently under 25 getting themselves into work to learn the work experience but also how to serve. When they come of age (30) there is a generation business and government leaders can replace millennials with better thinking and better public servants Gen-X whom also grown up to see the destruction of drugs like weed on the mind of millennials and Gen X for Gen X youth today not to smoke it. That’s my prayer Lord too also keep them sober and close to their family cause we need them sober and employed.
Edit- This is what happens when we put gen-x and Millennials in leadership, management, and supervisor roles. I continue praying for Gen Z those under 24 God get them working to learn how to serve from those jobs that’ll hire as young as 15.

“I wasn’t out yet, left a gay bar, and two people followed me and beat me with a baseball bat ’till I was bloodied unconscious and called me a ‘faggot,’” Pocan said.
I cant help but wonder if Jussie Smollett may have been involved.
And proof of the attack is…?
Until I see police reports and medical records, this goes into the file of things that never happened.
They’re offended that it’s not the flags of their true allegiance, the CCP!. Such a loss of face!
I looked DeLauro up. She has been re-elected every 2 years for the last 21 years by the voters around New Haven, Connecticut which is where Yale University is located. She is a pro- homosexual, pro-abortion “Catholic”. This is why you should never send your children to any university unless you want them to be an anti-American self hating communist pervert.
Where did they find her?
Under a rock or log somewhere…?
Democrats are masters at projection.
Everything that they accuse Republicans/the Right of doing…….is actually what THEY are doing.
You don’t need to research what Democrats are doing to know, you only have to pay attention to
what they are accusing the other side of.
The US and State legislatures Congress should stop micro managing the Executive Branch and start focusing on real world problems like climate change and the national debt.
You forgot about the genocide of the mentally ill, er, I mean “trans”.
Oh, and systemic racism (sic) — that one NEVER gets old!
Hey Frank, maybe they should focus on real crime like the ones the Bidens Obamas and Clinton’s have committed. Or how much fentanyl is pouring into our country or how many illegal trespassers are flooding our country….you know important things, not your make believe “weather is dangerous” lefty nonsense.
Frank, so a focus on “Climate Change” is a real world problem? I think a focus upon all of the spending that drives up the Debt disguised as “fixing Climate Change” would be time better served. Sorry Frank, but hey, if you are interested you might want to talk to John Kerry, you know he just visited Xi , aka “Big Daddy” and praised his efforts in manufacturing solar panels and the like, you know with Slave Labor in the Chi-Com version of Stalin’ Gulags or Hitler’s Death Camps. I guess a genocide of the Uyghurs in China at these slave labor camps is beneficial because it will somehow reverse climate change?
I miss the old days, the days when JFK said that the US would bear any burden, meet any hardship to assure the survival and success of Liberty.
Well Frank you got one right the dept needs to be addressed not just glanced over as the politicians have been doing. I trust you have given up petroleum products so you can sleep at night.
I’m game. I want to fly the Confederate Battle Flag on the flagpole in city hall of her hometown.
Then add one that impugns liberals who die their hair whatever color that mop is.
Then add one with an extended middle finger with her name on it.
Really wanna play this game? Let’s play.
They’re all over down here.
By the way, SKITTLES is now pumping the gay pride bs. Boycott them and any other entity that harbor these sick morons
Way ahead of you.
It’s okay to fly one
Flag but not the other syndrome! You are America and Americans! One flag! And that’s the America flag. Gives you all rights to bitch about your other flags?
I don’t much care for being called a terrorist. Causes a rise in my blood pressure. Are not false accusations from an elected official grounds for impeachment. ?? .
Nope. Their speech is protected.
Ours, however, is under assault.
If I’m going to be called A terrorist, I at least should be allowed the fun Of terrorizing fools like this one
