RUSH: This happens in committee hearings, but it doesn’t happen in the Senate gallery. You’re not allowed to even chew gum up there. My parents took my brother and me to Washington when I was 14, and we were in the Senate gallery when Barry Goldwater was delivering a speech on the farm bill. I had a book and I was turning the pages, and one of the pages took the book, “You can’t. I’ll give it to you when you leave, can’t make the noise.” You gotta be quiet as a mouse up there. Here is what happened as McConnell starts the process of bringing the bill here to a vote.
PROTESTERS: Kill the bill! Don’t kill us! Kill the bill! Don’t kill us!
PORTMAN: Sergeant-at-arms will restore order in the chamber. (tapping gavel) Sergeant-at-arms will restore order in the chamber, please. (tapping gavel)
PROTESTERS: Kill the bill! Don’t kill us! Kill the bill! Don’t kill us! Kill the bill! Don’t kill us! Kill the bill! Don’t kill us! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame!
RUSH: How do you think they got in there? Do you think the Democrat Party let them in there? No question about it. Now, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski would not even vote “yes” on bringing the bill to the floor for debate. This wasn’t a vote up and down on the bill, just to bring it forward for a debate they wouldn’t even vote “yes” on this thing. Shame, shame, shame. These people are ripping off the Cersei protest, Game of Thrones.
