List of GOP Lawmakers Who Crashed Proceedings

October 24, 2019 1:17 AM

Looking for a comprehensive list of the Republican members of Congress who disrupted the closed-door proceedings of the House impeachment inquiry today (Oct 23, 2019) Washington Post has these: Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) Rep. K. Michael Conaway (R-Texas)

Marcy Wheeler has a list (scroll down) of 41 names taken from the press release that Rep. Gaetz's office put out announcing the stunt. That list is described as "The following members plan to be in attendance tomorrow," so it doesn't entirely matches those who participated today (per this, at least one rep on the list didn't show up), but it's at least everyone who Gaetz claimed was coming.

You can also add Rep. LaMalfa and Rep. Abraham who say they showed up despite not being on Gaetz's list, via Charles Gaba's donation page. Sorry, I know that's not super helpful.

Pretty sure at least one or two of the names on Marcy Wheelers list are actually members of the relevant committees who were either already in the room or could have been, despite signing on to Gaetz release.

Here's Marcy Wheeler's tweet with the list, including asterisks by names of those who were entitled to be there anyway.

I read (in the ITMFA thread?) that a dozen of the barger-inners were committee members who were entitled to be (and some had already been) present at the proceedings.
