The Banking & Consumer Affairs subcommittee recessed its meeting and ordered the chamber cleared after the presiding member said attendees were standing near the back walls and asked those without seats to watch on the overflow screen.
The presiding member told the room, “If you don't have a seat here, you'll have to go outside and watch it on the on the big screen,” and asked the sergeant at arms to clear the room under house rules. The sergeant at arms responded aloud as staff moved to enforce the request.
Officials warned attendees they would be removed if they did not comply.
