“They are waving now, so that’s why they resort to these antics,” he said. “They want to fight Trump. They want to fight the first agenda of the United States. They want to fight all of us. So they’re by showing up on the floor of the House and showing it like a kid. It’s sad.”
“It’s an unfortunate day and I hope we don’t have to go this path.”
