Cedric RICHMOND notes that lawmakers who are adversaries often refer to each other as "good friends." Then adds:
"By the time I'm finished you will be clear that we are not good friends."
"By the time I'm finished you will be clear that we are not good friends."
RICHMOND says Rs have been bringing in extraneous issues and says to deal with them in a separate bill.
"This is a crisis. People are losing their lives."
"This is a crisis. People are losing their lives."
RICHMOND and GAETZ get heated.
Gaetz asks how Richmond can know that none of the Rs have non-white children.
Richmond gets indignant: "It is not about the color of your kids. It is about black males..If one of them happens to be your kid, I'm more concerned about him then you."

GAETZ starts yelling: "Who in the hell do you think you are?" Asks how Richmond could say he cares about their families more than they do.
RICHMOND: "If the shoe fits."
GAETZ says he should retract his words
RICHMOND: "Was that a nerve?"
GAETZ: "You're damn right."
