Tom Cole looks on during a House Rules Committee hearing on the impeachment against President Donald Trump in Washington, DC, Dec. 17, 2019.Legislative business was paused on the floor for an hour as Republicans demanded the words of Rep. Jim McGovern, the top Democrat on the House Rules Committee, be taken down from the congressional record.
McGovern's statements were focused on the four criminal cases against Trump. The former president denies any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Trump and his allies have cast the indictments as politically-motivated efforts to keep him off the 2024 campaign trail.Republican Rep. Jerry Carl was presiding over debate and ultimately read a ruling that struck McGovern's comments from the record.
"Although remarks in debate may include criticism of such candidates' official positions as a candidate, it is a breach of order to refer to the candidate in terms personally offensive, whether by actually accusing or by merely insulting," he said as he made his ruling.
