“As a mother of seven kids, I know what bickering sounds like. And it was worse bickering than even my children are involved in,” Congresswoman Mary Peltola said after Wednesday’s meeting of the House Natural Resources Committee.
Alaska’s lone member of the U.S. House says that so far, she’s seen too much inflammatory rhetoric and too little action.
It was supposed to be a routine meeting to adopt the committee ground rules, but things became heated, especially when the topic turned to guns. “I feel like I need one everywhere here,” she said. “Oftentimes we’re harassed in the hallways when we walk alone.”Democrats badgered the chairman to say that House Rules prohibit carrying firearms to the House chamber. Republicans accused Democrats of pandering to the gun control groups. One challenged Democrats to name the “homicidal maniacs” on the committee that they were so afraid of. Another vowed to use her gun to defend her colleagues, even Democrats, from attack.
That’s because Don Young was a brawler, and his arena was often the very same House Resources Committee. He would habitually, particularly if they opposed Alaska developments he supported. He could be counted on to spark quarrels, not to leave when the fires broke out.
