Zooey Zephyr, Montana's sole transgender Representative, has been prevented from speaking on the chamber floor by the House speaker since April 20 for refusing to apologize for controversial statements made on the House floor. Republican Rep. David Bedey joins "NewsNation Prime" to discuss the actions taken against Zephyr, saying she "crossed a line."

6. Yeah, "akin to Jan 6?" Wjat an unmitigated, hyperbolic asshole

No cops were beaten and injured, nobody died, people in the gallery just objected to asshats LIKE HIM, as is their constitutional right.

Republicans have really got to go, even if they get the pronouns right.

They’re assholes and they don’t care about right and wrong.
