House Judiciary Hearing Turns Chaotic When Gohmert Attempts To Call Out Nadler

Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas had more than enough after former Deputy Attorney General Donald Ayer ran over his allotted time at Wednesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing.

Finally, as the tapping began to get to Ayer, Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York called for "Regular order."

Nadler told Gohmert he would be the one to enforce the five-minute rule.

As Ayer went on to accuse Barr of lying, Gohmert returned to noise-making.

"That's what you said a while ago and he didn't conclude," Gohmert replied.

After Nadler sought to move past a request from Johnson to have Gohmert removed, Republican Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia disrupted until given the chance to speak.

Nadler said Collins had "Not stated a cognizable point of order," before Collins fired back that Nadler had "Not stated a recognizable way of running the committee in 18 months."
