House Speaker's "Cigar Room" Controversy Sparks Outrage Amongst GOP

[@roberthepburn-gr4fq]

Federal law prohibits smoking in federal government buildings so they can go outside just like everybody else has to do!

[@marythomas8043]

They really don’t need that room, they’ve been BLOWING SMOKE UP OUR A$$ES for the past few YEARS!!!!👍👍🏽👍🏻👍🏾

[@brye687]

Hasn't smoking in federal buildings been banned since the 90's?

[@welding_guy7524]

You really think federal laws applies to them?

[@DivineWarriorAyra]

@@welding_guy7524 Sadly no.

[@richardstagg9543]

You have to be fvcking kidding, haven't they got anything better to worry about

[@kaystenehjem6824]

They want hey $500 bill with Trump's face on it

[@TheEvolver311]

This is Republican politics bullshit, bullshit, tax cuts for wealthy people, bullshit, bullshit, legally installing a theocratic overlay to our legal system, bullshit, bullshit, corporate welfare for the Oligarchs in our representative states, bullshit, etc....

[@gingermartinez7475]

Morality taxes, keeping marijuana illegal, making smoking cigarettes illegal, but they are desperate to have a place to smoke. Smh.

[@EuphoriaDeep]

If Mike smokes a cigar, does he have to tell his son?

[@jessicarage8513]

It's a federal building.... There is LITERALLY NO SMOKING INDOORS AT ANY FEDERAL BUILDING IN THE UNITED STATES!!!!

[@michaellayton7373]

MAGA does not care about laws/rules

[@mariam6790]

I don’t know how it is in the US but in England and most European countries one is no longer allowed to smoke at work, bars, restaurants and in particular, any government buildings. How is it that is is okay to smoke in their work place?

[@michaellayton7373]

republican are not bound by laws. see trump

[@natlegend]

Tobacco is a drug. They want a safe room to use their drug.

[@Enigma2K99]

Give them the cigar room... and make it air tight. You velveteen crowned host, you...

[@kaystenehjem6824]

We dont need a cigar room.

[@lisapoynter1814]

Aren't there people stuck in outer space right now that we need to be worried about?

[@992turbos]

What doesn’t spark outrage among the gop

[@michaellayton7373]

trump lies.

[@tamaramontgomery631]

Isn't it the law you can't smoke in government buildings ??? What hypocrits. 😠😡🤬

[@johntomasini3916]

When are the Republicans, and Conservatives in general, going to look to the future instead of looking backwards.

[@phlebgrl6064]

“Cigar room”?! Most people hope for a 10min break to go pee, in addition to the 30min meal break they get each shift!

[@jammespaniagua6371]

I wonder if that smoky room has the smell of wine and cheap perfume..

[@j.c.5749]

Desperate to smoke your cigars? But, no abortions? Are the cigars gratuities?

[@wendynicklin7693]

Smoking is not good for you 😭 ridiculous of the GOP 😭

[@patmarcy1210]

GOP should worry the real issues, not this trivial cigar crap. Vote these idiots out of office. Vote blue.💙💙

[@garwynrosser8907]

They could ask Clarence Thomas for advice on who's got the best cigar room.

[@mondogeckosexoticsandoddit5866]

lmao I thought they were against safe spaces and now they desperately need theirs..

[@rapidsqualor5367]

I'm with Francesca on this. Let them fight it out. Never interrupt your enemy while they're making a mistake.

[@ighdesigns]

Johnson may have a Freudian issue with cigar smoking. He’s very sensitive.

[@j.c.5749]

Traditions? Wasn't tobacco a primary crop that fostered the importation of unwilling immigrants to the new world?

[@croaker4747]

I thought smoking was banned in all Federal buildings decades ago.

[@rapidsqualor5367]

Didn't Clinton have a cigar room ? 🙃

[@pamtuffield9385]

Homeless people sleeping on the streets but the GOP are complaining about losing their cigar smoking room.

[@ChaiChai-u3u]

Plebes. The members need privacy. They make the rules you obey.

[@stevenseltzer3589]

Desperately needed? How about helping those of us who receive ssi,ssdi and trying to pay rent and eat and maybe after that to be able to buy a pair of shoes! Maybe see a movie or a play, concert? To be able to live a little like a citizen? But all the time and money that has been wasted on hearings with absolutely no results is the best that they can come up with!😢

[@tamijones992]

No smoking in government buildings since the early 80s, but go outside and stand in the weather like the rest of us

[@Simplicimus1945]

Twenty feet away from the nearest door/ window, just like the rest of us..

Krispy Kreeme sponsered smoking lounge on the roof, acessable only by stairs.

[@benedicthlongwane7186]

Traditionally, the odor president, Stinky Don is the only one who can permit us to have a cigar room.

[@michaellayton7373]

The House GOP defunded Cancer research.

[@16driver16]

We had a cigar room at a warehouse I worked at. I smoked outside.

[@khrfx4715]

Wouldn't it be nice if these DO NOTHING legislators would feel as passionate about making the lives of their constituents better as they are about this out-of-date, elitists, stupid tradition.

[@DavidEllis-d5t]

Politicians suck

[@chrishagen5299]

OOoooooOOOOOooohhhhhhh!!!!! 4:02 is where the REAL reason comes out! "We want a place we can hide from reporters and drink on the job!!!" This explains a lot.

[@Luckypinky83]

WE desperately NEED term limits on all supreme court judges!! VOTE Blue

[@christinavuyk2026]

This is the same guy who said Trump has acumen. Acumen ffs, Trump would probably think that’s a secret service branch or something if asked 🤦‍♀️

[@siswohlslagel8919]

[@LindaFraser-m4v]

It shows where their priorities are. NO SMOKING OR VAPING signs are everywhere. Laws apply to EVERYONE

[@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

And thus the term *_Cigar Room Conservative Elites_* just entered the public lexicon.

[@bitterspice5525]

Facts Francesca!

[@BrokenCurtain]

It would be hilarious if they lost their majority over this.

[@Hbr_ed]

0:59 This is hilarious. It’s like satire.

[@tonyarichards5430]

Mikey always does what jeezus does. Jeezus loves a stiff drink and a good cigar too. Mikey’s a fabulous Christian!

[@aeolussvichi7680]

Priorities 👌

[@marilynnjohnson647]

They should smoke outside like everyone else! Aren't they above all laws.

[@robertlussier2944]

Didn't you do this story last week?

[@falsefortune7726]

you think they have strong opinions about other smoking issues?

[@andrewfrazer8874]

It's captain obvious he doesn't understand the that that was when put in with Arnold as govern of California his smoking and doing what with the house keeper ?¿

[@bvbschalke06]

Hmmm. People from the government want to set up a cigar room in a government building. A so-called cigar room reminds me of Great Britain. Yes, there are still clubs with cigar rooms like that today. WONDERFUL! But if you want to get into such a room.... .... you are first asked if you belong to the club. And in most of these clubs, WOMEN ARE NOT ALLOWED IN! Tell me, seriously, why did you win a war of liberation against Great Britain back then if you want to set up such a club in Washington D.C. today? Kind regards from Germany

[@janeS9773]

We need all the Republicans to smoke and breathe it in over and over. lol

[@bellehatespapayas]

why anyone would give any breath towards this debate just saddens me. If it's legal, not an intoxicant, and in a designated area to not harm others and limit anything considered bothersome, why bother them at all? ya'll just like being angry what is truly ridiculous is how the majority of our debates are on the definition of something compared to the reality of the definition. And both sides pick and choose and do this all the time. It's a loop to always look busy, but never get anything done. Also politicians on both sides who when put on the spotlight, even when given ample time to prepare ie court cases, are just allowed to say 'I don't know' or 'I'm not sure'. So you're saying you're too dumb to remember the potentially life altering things you signed off on, OR you're lying under oath.

[@juneramirez8580]

We desperately need new Republicans

[@joycetrembath499]

If we can't have cigarettes, why should they have cigars? F*ck that!

[@user-rh4hc4hj1z]

This is what Evangelical doctrines of demons does to people.

[@ChrisCasey-vr4wy]
