Hoodie In Da House

Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill lost his right to speak and was removed after violating House rule 17 which prohibits the wearing of hats which prohibits the wearing of hats in the House floor. Speaker pro tempore Rep. Gregg Harper, R-Miss was visibly frustrated as Rep. Rush continued a flurry of quotes from the Bible in addition to comments regarding Trayvon Martin, the Florida teen shot last month. “Mr. Speaker. Just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum,” he said. Rep. Rush was pulled from the floor by the sergeant-at-arms.
