>@PunchbowlNews AM: If you wanted a picture of the partisan ugliness that is the modern-day House of Representatives, let us tell you about last night.

@PunchbowlNews Less than a wk after an attack on Capitol by an angry mob of Trump supporters, @SpeakerPelosi instituted a host of new rules: Members would have to go through metal detectors to get on the floor, police would search their bags and they would be forced to wear masks or risk a fine

@PunchbowlNews @SpeakerPelosi House Republicans sort of freaked out. When the House voted Tuesday night, several groups of GOP lawmakers shoved past the Capitol Police manning the magnetometers outside the House doors, refusing to acknowledge they were even there, as witnessed by us and @MEPFuller .

@PunchbowlNews @SpeakerPelosi @MEPFuller ,@rep_stevewomack bristled at some cops, “You are creating a problem you do not understand the ramifications of!” @RepMullin said, “It’s my constitutional right” and “They can’t stop me,” according to @mkraju of CNN. @RepAndyBiggsAZ of Arizona was succinct: “This is crap.”

@PunchbowlNews @SpeakerPelosi @MEPFuller @rep_stevewomack @RepMullin @mkraju @RepAndyBiggsAZ >@RodneyDavis elled at @LeaderHoyer calling the new procedures alternately “horseshit” and “bullshit,” as witnessed by Punchbowl and @ESCochrane. @SteveScalise said Democrats were trying to “impede the ability for members to come and vote.”

@PunchbowlNews @SpeakerPelosi @MEPFuller @rep_stevewomack @RepMullin @mkraju @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RodneyDavis @LeaderHoyer @ESCochrane @SteveScalise ,@ByronDonalds complained, “So now we have TSA at the Capitol?” @laurenboebert who has bragged about carrying a gun to the Capitol, had a brief standoff when she refused to let police officers look in her bag. She got on the floor anyway.

@PunchbowlNews @SpeakerPelosi @MEPFuller @rep_stevewomack @RepMullin @mkraju @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RodneyDavis @LeaderHoyer @ESCochrane @SteveScalise @ByronDonalds @laurenboebert <@RepMeijer apologized to the police afterward. “I am sorry some of my colleagues are being assholes.”
