Timmy
He and Bobo seem to be running their mouths. Audio would have been fun.
Are those assigned seats or do they get to choose their co-conspirators?
Burchett
It's alphabetic seat assignments I imagine. Then Gaetz elbowed in to sit next to Boebert.
Burchett is sitting there stony eyed through most of the maelstrom surrounding him. In the end Burchett turns and says something to Gaetz and shortly thereafter Gaetz caves. Can anyone read lips?
GOP lawmaker had to be
