A wonderful reaction. The proceedings were interrupted by an alt-right "personality" who would not STFU and kept talking over everyone. Congressman Billy Long came up with the perfect distraction:
Mr. Long was a commercial auctioneer before entering politics. FOX News has more:
Rep. Billy Long, an auctioneer, drowns out protester shouting at Twitter's Jack Dorsey during hearing
Rep. Billy Long, R-Mo., on Wednesday drowned out a protester who was shouting at Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey by using an auction call.
Laura Loomer, a far-right activist, was heard shouting pleas at President Trump "because Jack Dorsey is trying to influence the election, to sway the election, to [inaudible] Democrats steal the election."
"That is why he is censoring and shadow banning conservatives," she added.
After Chairman Greg Walden, R-Ore., repeatedly called for Loomer to stand down in the hearing room, or else risk her removal, Loomer continued — which is when Long stepped in with a fast-talking auctioneer chant to drown her out.
Long chanted for a few minutes as Capitol Police worked to remove Loomer from the House Committee on Energy and Commerce panel.
"I yield back," Long joked to audible laughter, as the protester was escorted from the room.
Perfect.
