Indiana Republican: “This is why the American people have thrown you out of power”

Yesterday on the floor of the House, Rep. Steve Buyer (R-IN) got upset, and rightfully so, when Rep. Laura Richardson (D-CA), who was presiding over the House at the time, refused to recognize him to speak on the floor on what he saw as an abuse of the legislative process.

Buyer points out that no one was on the floor to object to him speaking, but Richardson was using her own discretion to keep him from speaking. He told Richardson, “This is why the American people have thrown you out of power.”

Here is video of the exchange:
