A Heated Exchange

More from WaPo:

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) happened to be the man on-camera when the traditionally bipartisan moment became unglued. Following Sunday’s attack that killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Ryan asked for a moment of silence Monday night as he gaveled the House to order. Ryan then crossed his chest and bowed his head.
But as the chamber fell quiet, a handful of Democrats walked out. And when Ryan lifted his head a moment later, there was an eruption of protest from Democrats critical of Republicans’ refusal to again vote on gun control legislation in the wake of a mass shooting

Now I will admit the order I state above, to wit “the Dems shouted him down and walked out”, which was my recollection of how the original article stated such.
Bingo—Yes, all the very many stories discussing the occurrence do rather emphatically note that the moment of silence occurred, do note that during the moment, some did walk out—Silently—and then the continuing observation is that the screaming then started after the moment of silence . . .
Either way, had the opposite happened and GOP behaved in that manner, there is no doubt in my mind that the story would be out there, repeated quite loudly with much indifference to this detail.
Weeeellll . . . of this story, this story Is very emphatically out there, that’s how I got all the different sources that are all telling the same sequence of events . . . In fact, at this moment, Google is giving me fifteen pages of results for that one search, so the story did get quite thoroughly noted and disseminated . . .
Hence, Ehn, my reaction of Um . . . waitaminnit, sumpin doesn’t match here . . . .
