Did Ann Flood Really Yell “Shut the **** Up” on the House Floor This Week?

First off, let me just respond to my own headline- I hope so. Really, as a fellow Moravian alum, I hope Rep. Flood abandoned all decorum. Why do I care? Apparently back in the old days, Murtha, Kanjorksi, and the boys used to show up on the House Floor late at night and yell drunken obscenities from the one corner of the U.S. House. Oh you think that’s dirty or mean? Give me a break. From what I hear, Rep. Flood has been defending her party’s senate caucus for not coming to work. What’s wrong with a lady from the Northern Tier of Northampton County letting it fly and yelling shit at a fellow member. Let me loose on the floor and I’d commit more violations just for the laughs. What has decorum brought us? If your answer is nothing, the answer is yes. She’s embarrassing her constituents, but they also voted for that.

The ugly side of this story did not come from Rep. Flood though. From the story told to me, some hillbilly from Central PA walked up to Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta after the showdown and called him “boy.” Really, conservatives, why are you being racist? Tell him you don’t approve and be done. The racism proves the point that your party is the hub of Nazis in 2025, and makes you unacceptable to a lot of people. You can’t defeat narratives while you behave like this. You kind of are what you are. It’s not a foregone conclusion, but letting these idiots formally say racist shit helps nobody.

I probably yelled “shut the fuck up” at somebody when the Rams were blowing my parlay tonight. Even so, we don’t need to be a racist society. Do better House GOP. Nobody really needs this. Rep. Flood, I mean whatever, but still. I hope you didn’t do it.
