Republican state Rep. Robert Sutherland believes he has more support than ever following a verbal confrontation with a top House security official at the Capitol in March.

believes he has more support than ever following a verbal confrontation with a top House security official at the Capitol in March.Sutherland and the sergeant-at-arms argued as the latter denied Sutherland entrance into the building. The disagreement revolved around whether Sutherland could enter the Columbia room of the Capitol building without a COVID-19 test. Sutherland disputes the claims that he failed to comply to take a test.

“My voters love me in this district. I’ve got the exclusive endorsement in this area,” Sutherland told Jason Rantz on KTTH. “So, I don’t anticipate this being a problem. If the press wants to continue to twist the story, then people will see through that and they’re flocking to me — I’m getting more support than I’ve had ever.”

Republican Representatives Paul Harris and Cyndy Jacobsen each donated $100 to Republican Sam Low’s campaign after the incident, who is running against Sutherland in the August primary. The fallout of the incident also led to a formal reprimanding from the state House. He has since been ordered to take “conflict coaching.”“There’s many kinds of Republicans,” he said. “There’s Republicans who support Republicans and other Republicans who support Democrats.

“I don’t know that they’ve ever heard my version of the story,” he continued. “If they did, they would side with me.”“He was yelling that I needed to get off the campus. That I wasn’t allowed to be there. I was allowed to be there,” he said. “When I refused to leave, he amped it up. He ramped it up and was getting mad at me. He was cussing. He was telling me I needed to leave. And he actually assaulted me. He made a move to come at me physically. And I stood my ground and I wouldn’t leave.

Sutherland did apologize for his use of expletives and claims there is no animosity between him and Harris and Jacobsen despite their decision.

Report: Republicans to Boot Jerry Nadler, Maxine Waters as Ranking Members Under House MajorityHouse Republicans are considering term limits for committee chairmen and ranking members, a move that could curb many influential Democrats’ power under a potential Republican House majority. The gangs of 80 years old Tupperware are being reminded that you can’t function anymore! The damage has already been done, but it’s never too late to make good moves. Just make sure to send the right people to DC “elected by the people” not selected by the swamp. The seniority system is one of the biggest obstacles to change/work getting done in congress, along with a lack of congressional term limits.

White House says Biden has faith in Sen. Feinstein amid concerns of her mental fitnessThe White House on Monday said President Biden has confidence in Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California after a newspaper report said Senate colleagues are worried about her mental fitness to serve at age 88. Isn't that like the reverse of the pot calling the kettle black? Its amazes me that so many Americans keep voting for the same do nothing politicians every time. She's so old I bet she doesn't know what day it is. We need term limits. 2 terms for a senator and 4 for a House rep.
