Congress

      Alabama, naturally, front and center in the bizarre U.S. House meeting that included a 15th and final vote to elect a speaker, and some fist-o-cuffs too.

"Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) lunged at Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and had to be pulled away by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.). It happened after Gaetz blocked Kevin McCarthy from clinching the final vote to be elected speaker in the fourteenth round of voting — and after the rabble rouser signaled he was ready to back down and let everyone finally go home." (Politico) Video HERE.

Will the bad blood clear enough for the House to accomplish anything?
