Scott was in a very good mood today.

New Mexico's Democratic Party is still a bunch of worms, vulnerable.

With a little trickery on their own, they are already in a state of collapse.

As usual, he walked into the hall of the state senate.

The gang that cleaned up the Democrats, and a wolf that they raised needed to be addressed.

However, when Scott walked down the hall, he realized that something was wrong.

The Democratic party was not as demoralized as they might expect.

They sat peacefully in their place, whispering something to each other.

The most strange thing for him was that Councilor Harlem, who was sitting at the front, was staring at him intently.

Scott was unimpressed.

If you are defeated, what qualifications do you have to provoke yourself?

If he can be regarded as the leader of the Republican Party, Haring is at most a leader in the Democratic Party, and he has no cards at all.

This is one of the reasons why the Democrats gained control of the Senate in the midterm elections, but they still can't fight him.

Each of these people has their own ideas, and they are scattered.

Instead of looking at Harlem, Scott sat back in his place.

Gestures are victorious gestures.

The meeting began.

The whole agenda was fluid.

As usual, a number of small budgets and proposals were quickly and smoothly passed.

Democrats disagreed with some of them, but they did not make a strong resistance.

As always, Fira is unbearable.

The three or four non-partisan senators have always followed the crowd and have no special opinions.

The meeting seemed to be about to end so peacefully.

Scott stepped onto the stage.

He would like to personally present the last proposal of the current meeting.

"As we all know, the Chinese problem has always been a deep-rooted problem in the western United States, and for this reason, the federal government introduced a bill the year before last to restrict their naturalization."

The old man glanced at the manuscript in his hand and continued.

"Our state, in the spirit of freedom and equality, does not legislate this bill separately."

"However, since the beginning of this year, the problem of Chinese people has become more and more serious! More and more Chinese have circumvented the law and obtained American citizenship through some special means. ”

"This makes the bill dead in name only!"

"The Chinese are in Santa Fe! Appear in Albuquerque! Although we don't have a specific number for the time being, they are a real threat to the survival of the locals! ”

"In addition, they established a Chinese town in Roswell and formed a militia, which posed a huge threat to the surrounding area!"

Scott spoke in a high-sounding voice, as if he was not the one who approved Roswell's proposal in the first place.

"So, I propose."

"First, ban the Roswell Township Militia, and it will be illegal for Chinese to possess weapons without state approval!"

"Second, re-examine the identity of Chinese in New Mexico! If citizenship is obtained through illegal means, it shall be revoked and deported! ”

Scott read from the script on stage, reading the contents of his manuscript.

The bill has passed the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.

The Democrats have not raised any objections.

The two parties generally don't have much disagreement on this kind of thing, not to mention that the people who previously denied Roswell's establishment of a town were also Democrats.

Therefore, Scott believes that this bill will be passed without suspense.

However, before the old man could finish reading, the Harlem Councillors in the audience had already stood up.

"You were the one who wanted to build the town in the first place! Now it's you who expel the Chinese! Isn't it fun to go back on your word? Haring slapped the table and yelled.

Scott was stunned, and the Republican lawmakers behind him were also at a loss.

Did Harlem take the wrong medicine today?

At this time, standing up and talking coldly is completely out of line with the process!

The Speaker coughed: "Councilor Harlem, it's not time for a free debate yet, please let Councilor Scott finish speaking!" ”、

Scott waved at the aging Speaker, motioning for himself to take care of it.

"At this time, at that time, we need Chinese people to work for us, but it doesn't mean that they can seize the resources and employment opportunities of other citizens!"

He suppressed his anger and said slowly.

"You're all child's play! What do those Mexican-American, Hispanic citizens think of us? You're overdrawing the credibility of the state government! ”

Not to be outdone, Haring was furious, as if he had eaten gunpowder, changing his previous image as a gentleman.

"Mr. Haring, I think you are behaving like this in the way you are losing your status as a state senator. The state Senate is a sacred place, and you can't bring personal emotions here. ”

Scott had a victor's smile on his face, looking down on Harlem and the Democrats in the audience.

"Fart! A little trick to beat us down? ”

A foul word suddenly burst out of Haring's mouth.

There was an uproar.

The people sitting in the state senate were all decent people, and even if there were disputes between them, they were resolved in a more civilized way.

More often than not, the two parties have communicated privately.

It's unheard of here.

"What do you say?! You have the ability to say it again! A young Republican enthusiast rose from his seat and pointed at Haring's nose.

Harlem cursed and spoke vulgarly.

The hall became lively, and people from both sides joined the "scolding group" one after another, scolding the speaker across the council.

"Silence! Quiet! The old speaker shouted hoarsely, "You can't solve the problem like this!" It's going to be laughed at by the people."

However, no one paid any attention to him at all.

Harlem scolded the hardest.

Before coming to this meeting, Chen Jianqiu said to him earnestly: "The reason why you can't win Scott is that one is that you are not united enough, and the second is that you are too Sven. ”

"I know Scott better than you do, he's a rascal who does anything to do anything, and if you still treat him like a gentleman, you won't be able to deal with him at all."

Haring agreed with Chen Jianqiu's opinion of Scott.

But his long education taught him that it was not as if swearing in the Senate was not what a gentleman should do.

"Wouldn't it be too much?" Haring hesitated, "After all, since the founding of the United States, there doesn't seem to be an example of an outrageous move in Congress, right?" What will those people think of us? ”

Chen Jianqiu smiled.

He pulled out a piece of paper that Holmes had handed him:

In 1798, the Connecticut and Vermont representatives faced off with sticks and tongs.

In 1837, the Speaker of the House of Representatives stabbed the Arkansas Representative to death in the House of Representatives because he "insulted" him.

In 1856, Senator Preston Brooks, a pro-slavery pro-slave, knocked Senator Charles Sumner unconscious with a cane.

You told me there wasn't a fight in the council?

"What's going on in the Senate, the people outside don't know."

He patted Harlem on the shoulder: "Put down the burden of idols, scold, beat, think about your predecessors, and reproduce the glory of American-style democracy!" ”

Thinking of this, Haring felt that the scolding was not enjoyable enough.

He picked up a document on his desk and threw it at Scott.

However, the document apparently did not have a book in hand, and it scattered in the air and fell to the ground.

Harlem flipped out from behind the desk and rushed at Scott, who was still on the table, in three steps and two steps.

The old man was about to open his mouth to question Harlem who was rushing over, but he was caught off guard and waved a fist at him.

The Democratic senator was in the prime of life and slammed an old punch into Scott's face.

Scott only felt his eyes darken, his nose sour, and he took two steps back.

A sharp pain came from the bridge of his nose.

"He's crazy!" Scott staggered down the stage while clutching his nose.

Haring chased after him, but was stopped by the young Republican who had just scolded him, and the two scuffled together.

In this way, the situation is out of control.

The Senate hall was in chaos, and the lawmakers were in a fight.

Some of them tugged at each other's clothes and hair, one pulling at the other, tangled into a whole; Those who have practiced will start to catch and fight, you punch me and I punch each other.

Haring's actions thoroughly inspired the soul of the West within them.

Wild, permeating every corner of the West, even in the Senate.

The independent, nonpartisan parliamentarians stood shoulder to shoulder, shivering as they watched.

The overall lineup of the Democratic Party is slightly younger, with one or two more people, so the combat effectiveness is slightly stronger.

They will soon beat the Republican senators, led by Scott, to the Senate.

Yes, physically struck out.

Other people in the parliament building, such as the House of Representatives, who didn't know what was going on, came over to pull the fight, and that stopped the brawl.

Harlem led the Democrats in New Mexico to victory in the brawl.

On the Republican side, the bridge of Scott's nose was broken, other hair was torn off, his clothes were torn, and there were even more people.

It was the first time since the Civil War that the Democrats had won a military victory over the Republicans.

A moment to remember.

Haring returned to the Senate with the disheveled Democratic senators around him, singing.

They can't wait to go back and have a drink now.

Just as they did when they were younger.

After that, the state legislature suspended for at least two weeks to let people on both sides of the fare burn.

As for Scott's bill, it's even more out of the way.
