Johnson Vows “Consequences” For Censure Disruption

“They disrupted the proceedings of the House. So there’s some irony there. We have to keep decorum. We have to keep control of the proceedings, because we’re the greatest deliberative body in the world, and we need to act like it. And I think this went way over the line, by the way, these censures.

“This is not a normal thing. I mean, he was only the 29th member of the House to be censured in the entire history of the U.S. Congress. So it was above the pale. He’s the first person to ever be removed from the floor during a presidential address. It was appropriate. And we’ve got to, we got to maintain control.

“I talked to Freedom Caucus members and other Republicans who are deeply concerned about this. They said we have to restore control one way or the other, and they need to be real consequences. And it’s something we’ll be looking at early next week.” – Mike Johnson, today on Fox.
