House Chaos: Congressman’s “Grifter” Remark Sparks Removal Threat
Rep. Maxwell Frost’s (D-FL) accusations that President Trump and Elon Musk are grifters led to a chaotic House hearing. Chairman James Comer (R-KY) threatened to have Frost forcibly removed for his repeated use of the term “grifter,” despite Frost’s attempts to rephrase his statements. The ensuing arguments involved multiple committee members and resulted in Comer barring Frost from further participation and ordering the offending remarks stricken from the record. Frost, however, continued to speak and was ultimately escorted from the hearing.
