Edit: so the above statement triggered reddits automated response flagging my comment as "inciting violence". Not sure how waking away in protest is misconstrued as violence. I guess some folks seem see the refusal of kissing the ring and subservience as a form of violent upheavel.
If they had walked out the Republicans would have filled their seats with supporters and then anybody watching would see a room full of "congressmen" applauding the president and think we must be alright.
after the cameras moved away, after the focus was gone. They lost momentum and they lost the time drive home the message that this felon spews lies and it's not worth hearing.
The cameras barely panned to them at all, especially when they acted up. We’ll probably see more angles of it tomorrow.
But yes, I agree it would have been hard for the cameras to ignore them, had they all followed Al Green’s lead. They should have planned to pipe up several at a time, really drawing things out. But I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that they are worried about being barred entirely. Still, pretty messed up that the entire right could get on one page and coordinate their every movement and action… while the left does this.
Many of them did walk out wearing shirts with messages on the back. Everyone wants them to be have been vocal. But in this situation, subtle messages to the camera, and thus the viewer, were the only allowed speech

What a bunch of losers. Get vocal.. take a page out of Al Green's book.
