TKC MUST SEE!!! KANSAS CITY CONGRESSMAN CLEAVER DROPS GAVEL AND ABANDONS CHAIR AMID CHAOS OVER PREZ TRUMP TWITTER ATTACKS!!!



The debate over President Trump's tweets and the ensuing Democratic Party response has thrown Congress into turmoil and Kansas City's top ranking elected official stood in the middle of it all but then thought better of it and decided to step away from the uproar . . .

CONGRESSMAN CLEAVER THROWS DOWN HIS GAVEL DURING HOUSE DEBATE OVER SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI'S LEADERSHIP AND REACTIONS TO PREZ TRUMP TWEETS!!!

Here's what happened . .

In an apparent moment of frustration, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a Democrat from Missouri who has been presiding in the chair this whole time, blasted Republicans and threw his gavel down, abandoning the chair.

Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, didn't want to be part of the fight, and decided to "abandon the chair," a shocking move that left the speaker's chair empty for a moment.

After Cleaver left the chair, Democrats scrambled to find someone to take his place.

Here's what happened according to the Congressman:

Congressman Cleaver’s Statement On Today’s Floor Debate


July 16, 2019

(Washington, D.C.) – United States Representative Emanuel Cleaver, II (D-MO) released the following statement after relinquishing the chair during today’s floor debate, while presiding over the debate on the House resolution to condemn the President’s tweets:

“I want to thank Leader Hoyer for assuming the chair and reading the parliamentarian’s ruling following my abdication. Like the vast majority of Americans, I’ve grown increasingly frustrated with the childish rancor of our public discourse. Our inability to conduct ourselves in a civil and respectable fashion has paralyzed the most powerful government in the history of the world, and for what? A 10-second soundbite on prime time news and a few thousand twitter followers?

"If this is what our government has come to, then we are in serious trouble as a nation. My frustration reflects that of my constituents and the American people as a whole. I have spent my entire life working with people of all faiths and stripes in an effort solve real-world problems with concrete solutions, but never have we been this divided and this unwilling to listen to countering opinions or accept objective truths. If we’re going to solve the cataclysmic challenge of climate change, the prodigious problem of income inequality or the evasive challenge of equal justice under the law, it is going to take all of us, Democrat and Republican, liberal and conservative, men and women, elders and youth.

"I have unshakeable and eternal faith in what we can accomplish as a people, but we can only overcome these challenges as a union. I truly believe American democracy is the greatest experiment ever conducted by a society. However, a house divided against itself cannot stand, regardless of how strong the foundation. I call on all of my colleagues and all of America to listen more and talk less, to show compassion for those who are in pain, and to resist the temptation to fight when others wish to escalate.”

    Way - Way past time to stand up to the lies and accusations from totally Fascist politicians. They can dish it out, but it looks like they just can't take it. I hope Trump tells that ungrateful, low-life Somali cunt to GO BACK HOME TO AFRICA WHERE SHE BELONGS!!!! EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.

  4. If you would take the time to watch the whole thing for yourself you would see his partisan actions in full display. He was frustrated after being called out for parliamentary procedures. He frustration was a result of not knowing how to handle resolution debate and the protocol to be followed. He had no business presiding over this debate if he didn't know what he was doing.

  11. Proud to be a Jewish American7/16/19, 6:05 PM

    Byron,
    If your intention is more so to insult another person and shut them up, then please resist the urge to use the word Nazi. I am sick and tired of seeing you call people that.
    Comparing a relatively trivial point of disagreement with that calamity ultimately signals disrespect and exploits the Jewish genocide in a quest for the moral high ground. In any plausible scenario, this immediately kills your credibility in the discourse and incites entirely avoidable hostility.
    I am Jewish and I am so angry and tired of seeing you call good Americans NAZI's simply because you disagree with what they say or your overall intelligence is too lacking to have a factual decent conversation.
    Show some respect for people or pack your butt off somewhere and be with those who agree with your slanted hateful views. Free Speech is not meant as a formatt for hate and disrespect.
    I can’t speak for everyone, but most citizens I know who generally respect the Founders and the Constitution would become visibly sick at the thought of endorsing genocide, despising Christianity, hating and trampling on civil liberties in America. But you seem to achieve great joy in verbal attacks on people who do and for what? You are not our neighbor. You don't know any of us personally.
    Why Tony allows you to throw out such hateful things about people is beyond me, maybe the real issue is that Tony allows Free Speech but won't disallow true hate speech. Then for all I know maybe Tony likes seeing people like you calling others NAZI's. Oh yes I am sure you will come back as it isn't hate speech but then you're not a Jew either so how would you know? I bet you didn't lose family to the real NAZI's or have family who somehow made it out alive but carried that tattoo on their arms for life, no I am sure you don't.

  18. President Donald Trump is not a racist. We are not racist. Who doesn't know that those who accuse us of racism are the real racists. They are the ones who constantly judged by color of skin not content of character. As their almighty racist leader Nancy Pelosi would say "Make America white again."
    Go figure.

  19. Byron's shallow, mean and hateful comments very strongly support his being chosen as the national poster boy for rectal cranial inversion therapy.

    Since he is a resident of West Virginia maybe he can meet up with the late Senator Byrd's family and they might make him an honorary grand wizard which would truly represent what he is.

  22. The Progressives are afraid, because for 50 years, the accusation of racism was the silver bullet that slew the white wolf no matter the facts. The discussion ended when the accusation was made and the conversation shifted to defense mode.

    Trump has given whites their voices back. Black power? Okay, La Raza? Okay. C.A.I.R. ("Some people did something...") Okay.

    Here is the thing, WHITE POWER TOO!!!

    Democrats hate whitey and prove it every day from Washington D.C. with racist "Affirmative Action" type legislation, from Hollywood where black movie stars wax longingly to be in movies where they "Get to kill white people" and in Academe where our children are indoctrinated and the hoped for outcome is an ethnomasochistic-Hale-Bop, self loathing whacko like Byron.

    The pretense that Democrats are altruistically motivated at the border for illegal immigrants is preposterous. Democrats lost the Rust Belt white middle class vote and are DESPERATE to replace that electorate with Government dependent illegals, paid for by the very people (The Middle Class) that they are replacing.

    It's ALWAYS about power, money and sinecure.

    Trump knows that the new America hates whitey. It is way past time to hate them right back.

    Whites are way less racist than people of color, who are preoccupied constantly with questions of race.

    It is, again, way past time for whitey to come full on racist, just like the people who want him dead, want him replaced and want a new version of South Africa.

    They want you dead, it's ok to hate them right back.

  23. 7/16/19, 6:51 PM - I agree with you. For too long, the Republicans have chosen to fight by showing enemies what good people they were, that they rose above the gutter fighting. Well, no f'ing more. Trump's slapping back with a blackjack and those idiots are frothing at the mouth because no one's dared to talk back to them like this before. More to come I hope...

  24. The best strategy for the Democrats is to keep Clever off television at the very least. Net net Clever is a negative to the Party. I am a life long Democrat who has watched the likes of Clever and Sly James invoke policy in KC which has screwed this City.

  32. I will be the first person to say Trump is outspoken and would probably do himself a favor by not tweeting. But, is it just me or does nearly every report of this matter only show part of his actual quote? It wasn’t just Go back where you came from, he went on to say fix the problems there, THEN COME BACK and tell us how it’s done. When his comment is viewed in its entirety, it’s far less cutting and really sounds more like a challenge than an insult. I also think it’s completely unacceptable for any member of Congress to publicly refer to ANY US president as a “mother f’er” regardless of your party affiliation or opinions.

  34. 7:05: What planet have you been spending the past few decades on? "Republicans have chosen to fight by showing enemies what good people they were, that they rose above the gutter fighting." Are these the same Republicans who impeached Clinton for having a blow job, who said in 2009 their aim was to make Obama a one-term president, and who refused to take any action on Merrick Garland? These Republicans? Above gutter fighting? Hell. These Republicans LIVE in the gutter.

  37. I remember when Cleaver was just a black man with character- he was actually somewhat conservative by 1980 standards. Remember when he called the blacks that rioted in kc in the early 90s "thugs". He saw right through the kind of crap we see every day now. But, he has grown corrupted in his thought. Corruption is not just taking bribes or dishonesty for personal gain. It is losing the ability to know the truth and speak it. Cleaver has allowed himself to slowly be co-opted into cowardice. At one time he was truly a good man, and his days as mayor were among the best any black man has achieved anywhere. He needs to get back to studying his Bible.

  39. 8:27 The Clintons were the most financially corrupt people to EVAR inhabit the White House. To this day, the freak show that is the living embodiment of a "RICO VIOLATION" are still sucking the blood out of the American people.

    What party ISN'T trying to make the other party a one term administration. The Obama administration was the most corrupt since US Grant. The curtain is just now being pulled back on the Fascist regime and the facts are going to shake this country to it's core.

    The "Biden Rule" - initiated by Democrats and Joe Biden, is adhered to by both parties since 1992, when Joe Biden said no Supreme Court Justice could be approved with only one year to go in any given administration.

    When Ginsberg, who is obviously sucking the blood out of newborns at this point to stay alive, finally dies and is cast into hell, I am sure you won't want Trump nominating anyone for the bench if there is less than a year left.

  44. The biggest proof that America isn't as racist as the Dems like to say it is is the fact that Obama was elected with a lot of the white vote. I voted for Obama once (regretted it later based on his performance), but voted for Trump in the last election. The Dems and the liberal media like to remind us daily of our differences in gender and color. That's how they try to keep their voting block happy.

  53. What is really going on friends?

    Rev. Cleaver and others like him have been there too long. If you recall cleaver was going to be president elect before Obama and they found Obama and replaced cleaver with him. Cleaver was allegedly under the thumb of James b nutter as other politicians nationwide. Someone has taken the boss place.

    Allegedly the cleaver were on the board of planned parent hood in kcmo years ago.. oh yes a minister of a church... cleaver has no moral authority or credibility.

    Lots of voter fraud had allegedly happened at his church and cleaver did nothing to stop it.. day stop voting at churches.

    When cleaver was at hearings involving wells Fargo bank stealing from customers again he was limp on doing anything... in the 1990s when folks went to him about predatory lenders setting up bogus a mortgage loans and city council folks again did nothing..

    allegedly someone from his administration got elevated to hud. More corruption then there was the George magazine article about kcmo in classic corruption mode.... whose administration was in charge... sir cleaver.. he should have left with mccaskill.. what amazed inquiry minds how misfits would be elevated by nutter to offices of political significance..wow friends

    she knew about nutter.. sitting over at his office when she was prosecutor numerous times a week back in the day... getting paid from the county.. another alleged corrupt soul...
