“I heard some hissing and I saw about eight to 10 of my Republican colleagues walk out angrily as they were announced as police officers from the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6,” state Rep. Arvind Venkat (D) said in a phone interview Thursday. “I was shocked and appalled,” he added. According to Venkat, the commotion lasted about five minutes.

    A shame that the article doesn’t name and shame which Republicans walked out. I get that it’s harder to tell who booed (apparently a lot of them), but it shouldn’t be that hard to tell which ones left.
