House hearing erupts over Sen. Padilla’s removal from Noem press conference

Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., was shouted down after asking whether Republicans would agree to investigate the incident involving Padilla.

„I have a point of order,“ Frost said.

„State your point,“ replied Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the committee chair.

„We have to subpoena Secretary Noem,“ Frost said.

„That‘s not a point of order,“ Comer responded.

The hearing quickly devolved into lawmakers shouting over one another, with Comer at one point telling Frost to „shut up.“
