Democratic Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut did not want to lose his cool, but he said this week he couldn't help it.
Himes was at the residence of an ambassador with two Republican lawmakers on Tuesday for dinner, just hours after police officers gave explosive testimony about fearing for their lives on January 6 during the Capitol Hill insurrection, when the ambassador asked the group what it was like to be in Congress during the insurrection. "I'm usually the conciliatory person but I just said 'screw it,'" Himes recalled to CNN, sharing that he could not refrain from calling out his Republican colleagues in that moment.More Related News
