This is also how you get Gerry Connolly elected over AOC for leadership of the House Oversight Committee. Nancy Mace uses an anti-trans slur several times in a committee meeting, and Connolly whines “Here on the committee, a level of decorum requires us to try to avoid slurs” while his Republican colleague smirks at him. Fucking embarrassing.

But, hey, at least you didn’t have somebody “young” and “inexperienced” like AOC in there. Who knows? She might’ve said something rude to Ms. Mace, and we couldn’t have that! Think of the decorum!
