Sheila Jackson-Lee

“ For yesterday the President of the United States rose
before this body and offered in the most poignant but kindest and
firmest way an extended hand to work and to collaborate with Americans
and those who represent Americans in this body. And I have had the
privilege of hearing a number of Presidents speak to the Nation from
this place. ”

“ It should be denounced as
inappropriate decorum in this place.
And for those who wish to be equally rude by holding up something,
let me suggest that it is a free country. And I do appreciate,
sometimes we make mistakes, I admit to mistakes. ”
