Democrats heckle Ryan on House floor day after Orlando nightclub massacre


Some protested by leaving the House floor during a moment of silence honoring the victims, while other Democrats yelled "Where's the bill?" A handful of Democrats left the House floor during the moment of silence, including Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes. Before Clyburn could finish, Ryan ruled his question out of order and directed the House to move to the next vote. "We need to stand up, speak up, and take actions rather than another moment of silence," said Rep. Robin Kelly, D-Ill., in a House floor speech at the time. Himes said earlier Monday in an interview that he's done with the moments of silence typically held on the House floor after mass shootings, calling them "obnoxious expressions of smug incompetence."
