Lamar Over Trages Florida Man In A Rage
The House session collapsed into disorder as Florida member Lamar clashed with Democratic Leader John Sharp Williams over speaking time. Williams blocked Lamar’s bid to address a clipped quotation about committee removals, adjournment requests, and alleged personal privilege, ending with a chaotic adjournment amid gavel taps and complaints.
House Proceedings Amid Turmoil and Adjournment
Mr Lamar shouted that the House would understand the situation as he had it before the House. Mr Williams retired to his seat calmly watched by Democrats who congratulated him. In the confusion Mr Payne moved to adjourn until tomorrow. The only other business was the announcement of the committees by the Speaker.
