Look, I work on decorum around here all the time.
Everybody knows that's my record.
I started it when I came to Washington in January 2017.
I authored the Honor and Civility Caucus Pledge and the Commitment to Civility.
I mean, we have to maintain this.
There are fights about policy, but it shouldn't be personal.
I try to model that myself.
I try to encourage colleagues to do it.
But I will tell you, the tension here is very high.
Because it's high because the stakes are so high.
And you've got real Americans, real constituents back home who are really suffering because of the nonsense.
And it gets us upset here sometimes.
I understand that emotion.
We've got to keep it in check.
We've got to get everybody working together.
And we've got to get the lights back on.
They're masters at distraction.
And go back and watch the video of Senator Ruben Gallego.
These are the two Democrat senators from Arizona, Mark Kelly and Gallego.
And they're voting to keep the government closed.
