House GOP changed the rules to prevent anyone from mentioning that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies, that he was found liable of sexual abuse and defamation, that he has been indicted for various crimes (such as inciting an insurrection, refusing to return government secrets, as well as asking Georgia to "find" votes to overturn its election). IOW, hiding facts. 🙄

"House Republicans bar any mention of Trump's felon status on House floor"

@marynelson8 according to the article referenced there was no change in rules.

This was simply the application of the long-standing rule in the House.

@volkris @marynelson8 Misapplication you mean. And inconsistent application. Just a general pretext for silencing the truth. Real North Korean type stuff.

@MasterMischief application or misapplication, the rule has been there the whole time. No change in rules as claimed. That was false.

As for the rest, these are the people we voted for applying the rules that they have at their disposal.
