True words cause a ruckus ...

Rep. Mondaire Jones, a House Democrat who represents a district just north of New York City, was speaking in favor of D.C. statehood.

What comes across as a silence in this video is the moment when Republicans, without microphones, started yelling at him for calling their anti-statehood speeches "racist trash." Way to go, Mr. Congressman!

Though he agrees to have this phrase erased from the record in the interest of legislative comity, the whole short speech is worth watching. Congress is changing.
