During the House’s debate Friday on the Senate’s unanimously passed $2.2 trillion coronavirus emergency relief bill, freshman Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens (MI) resorted to screaming out her message on the House floor, while House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) unsuccessfully attempted to gain control of the situation. In response to the congresswoman’s outburst, the room exploded in jeers and boos.
The raucous scene began when Stevens requested 30 more seconds to finish reading her written statement to the House. But when Hoyer tried to move on to the next representative, Stevens raised her voice, eventually screaming loudly a statement that appears to have been intended to be both a warning and a message of solidarity with the American public.
