Dem House Rep Calls GOP Reps “Sex-Starved Males” During Debate On Public Health Spending Bill [VIDEO]

Roll Call reports:

A routine House debate nearly exploded Wednesday when California Democrat Norma J. Torres implied her Republican colleagues were “sex-starved males” for opposing abortion.

“Mr. Speaker, it is tiring to hear from so many sex-starved males on this floor talk about a woman’s right to choose,” Torres said as lawmakers debated a rule setting up amendment consideration for a four-bill spending package that includes funding for public health programs.

Torres, one of the newest members of the House Rules Committee, clearly broke House Rules — members cannot personally impugn their colleagues on the floor. Her remarks triggered audible outrage — and numerous calls for a point of order — from the Republican side of the chamber.

Being cited for a point of order violation can result in the House member being silenced for the rest of the day and having all of that day’s comments stricken from the public record. But watch the clip.
