I think the thing that cut him to the core was that his own “friend” was the one who motioned to end debate, knowing that there wasn’t a damn thing the Dems could do to stop the bill in the first place.

I especially love the way he was completely oblivious to the irony in this statement:

“And that’s the question it has to be: Are we now in a situation in our government that we just provided keeping government open, that we’re going to play politics with how you become Speaker? If that’s the case, then I think we got real problems,” he continued.

About freaking time.

If anyone ever wondered what structural racism looks like, this constant attempt to keep black folks’ history from even being dispassionately discussed, is a prime example.
