- During a hearing with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Rep. Billy Long, R-Missouri, drowned out a protester by making an impromptu auction call. He received a round of applause after the protester was removed.
Whether you’re liberal or conservative, you have to admit that this is absolutely hilarious.
until it happens to you. This is disgusting behavior. He should be arrested and charged with violation of oath of office. This is far from upholding, and defending the constitution.
@@bentley1960 It's tragic how much the sense of humor has degraded over just the short amount of time this has been uploaded compared to now.
Benty-boy, go and get an actual education on the word "comedy".
Also, it was legal, he used his speaking time to do such a thing, proven by the fact he says "I yield back" at the end. He gives his choice of words, and then gives speaking power back to the rest of the chairs, or whoever is next on the podium.
@@bentley1960 What are you talking about? Laura Loomer, a far right xenophobic bigot, decided to interrupt a hearing with some ridiculous noise just so she could post it -- which is why she had her cellphone on. Blathering about trump saving her or whatever. Her idiotic behavior was interrupted by another Republican (Billy Long) who drowned her out with auctioneer patter until she could be thrown out. He yielded and was applauded for stopping the stupidity.
@@benkenobisgirl I do not know where to begin. If you can not see the arrogance these politicians have in thinking they are unaccountable for their actions, and do not have to answer to anyone for what they say or do, I can only say your part of the problem.
@@bentley1960 Did you even watch the video. During a hearing with Twitter's CEO, a woman decides to interrupt and yell and disturb proceedings to garner attention she desperately seeks. As she's yelling, she is asked to stop, then security is called. While security is being fetched, Rep Billy Long decides to drown out her xenophobic babble. She was thrown out as was expected and the hearing continued. The only one held accountable was Laura Loomer, the one who interrupted. They were just trying to do their jobs. If you're going to blame me for any problems, please remember it's *you're*.
I feel bad for the stenographer.
LOLZ 😆
hahahah
My thought too 😂
Omg I hope they don't really have to record all that. Lol
Maybe they could just put "Rep so & so does auctioneer call for 30 seconds".
Right??? 😂 😂

Jonathan, That's awesome! Thanks for posting. I almost feel like committing it to memory much like the classic "Who's on first" skit by Abbott & Costello. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time...
Gerald Goldsmith I agree this was amazing!!
Why? Is this for people who can only read but cannot see videos?
Wow!!! Got to copy this to all my conservative friends. Amazing you got it all..but I wouldn't know if you did!
Jonathan Bohn
, The Missouri way from the Show Me state.
fun fact: Rep. Billy Long is an actual auctioneer
You can't pull of that patter in a whim like that if you're not an auctioneer.
and a republican!
Would have been funnier is people started raising their hands, like they were bidding!
Having an uncle that was in the profession had me thinking the same thing. They even share the same last name but he lived in California. I'll give Billy Long credit for his sense of humor...I lost it when he said "I'll yield back"
@@rshrsh5420, Good ol' Missouri "...sense of humor..." from a Missouri good ol' boy.
Wait......what was the final amount for that lady's cellphone? I think it was $550. But wow.......funny as heck.
NO IT WAS $5.50 CENTS
Yep! $550.00 was his final bid. America Loves Representative Billy Long, from Springfield, Missouri!!
It appears to be an iPhone 8. $550 is a pretty dang good deal.
So proud to know Billy Long! That is the funniest thing that I've seen in a long time!!! "We're selling the Cell Phone!!!"
This is my congressman. I disagree with him on everything but this was awesome.
He showed respect to that woman that she showed him and the entire room
Brilliant! Illustrate absurdity with absurdity!
Exactly, but that point will be lost on the unintelligent and humorless!
But I think the second absurdity overabsurded the initial absurdity. I yield back!
Excellent! All Trump supporters should be ignored and mocked and shut down. They've declared war on facts, truth and reasoning. Nothing reasonable can ever get through to them. There's no point reasoning or arguing with them. Just leave them rotting by themselves.
hahahahahahahathud
Bill long, what a great sense of humor...something capitol hill needs a "serious" dose of. Thanks for posting.
joe quillun
, Billy Long is a classic example of folks from Missouri.
Proud to be a Missourian!
Same here brother....STL
@Daniel Rodriguez, Mark Twain comes to mind.
So am I!
Do you guys auction girls legally or in secrecy?
I only lived in Missouri during my years in college, but this once I'm jealous that Missouri has such a cool Colonel to represent it. I honestly wish there were more like him in office, to make DC someplace I'd want to visit, if only to give the Colonel stuff to auction for me as a joke.
Would have been great if someone yelled out "YUUUUP!"
Hahaha right?
i would have been on the floor if that was the case
🤣🤣🤣🤣
First ever honest way of raising money in DC
Lmao.. I yield back 🤣🤣🤣
While we can disagree on the man's politics (and I do, strongly), you've got to give credit where it is due, it was a genuinely funny thing to do in the moment.
Gee thanks for straightening us out on that. I was just asking _I wonder if Mr Jonathan Girvan agrees with the Missouri Representative's politics?_
Sorry....I'm just completely out of patience with you virtue-signalling choads.
@@ShempDavidNiven ok but when did anyone ask
I definitely would've started howling with laughter at the phone part😂😂💀
That was great. This could be used for all hecklers.
bill head, Yep. That's the Missouri way.
Could? more like Should.
That's funny right there. I don't care what side of the aisle you're on.
I am, of coarse, from Arkansas but would be proud to be a Missourian at that momment!
The protester was Laura Loomer, a pro-Trump Jewish conservative banned by Twitter for criticizing Sharia. She went there to confront Jack Dorsey about why she was banned.
I'm a conservative, but can't stand the sight of Laura Loomer. Nuisance "reporter".
The two stars Billy Long and the selfie stick! Absolutely hilarious
Brilliantly done sir.
I raised my hand at 2 and a quarter.
Didn’t win though.
I had the opportunity to go fishing with Billy and he was awesome! I don’t always agree with his politics but he was a great guy!
I am a Liberal but I find this hilarious!
I'm glad he clarified it was the cell phone being auctioned. For a minute, there, I thought she was going in to slavery.
then a second auction would have been necessary, for her owner to be rid of her idiocy since that lady is obviously a trump cultist.
Such a G move holy crap
THAT--WAS---FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
I almost bought that cell phone lol! 😂😂😂
this is the best video in the last year. hands down. perfect 10/10
I love it, I love it, I love it. Billy Long is an American treasure.
Yep when you act the fool, you get played as a fool
That was absolutely AMAZING!
Epic!! very good!!!
Now we know who Billy Long really is.
An auctioneer 😂😂😂
I have never laughed so hard than today at this spectacle of genius! That is one skilled man with a talent that will never fade, that's what you call a true "American"!
Roland Harris
, A "true American", and a good example of most folks from Missouri.
The auctioneer came to my school he is a Congressman now and he told me to look it up
He should have said "Sold!" At the end.
That was amazing. Re-elect that man if he's running.
Care to guess how many memes get created just from this episode?
KyvannShrike he got re elected
That's my rep! Brilliant! I love the man!
If it aint the man from missouri doing the auctioneering I DONT WANT IT

Being made the laughing stock of the hearing as your cell phone is auctioned off by Rep. Billy Long - "PRICELESS"
That's Laura Loomer, and what she said turned out to be true.
This man deserves an Oscar...absolutely brilliant....
“We’re selling the cellphone there” 😂😂😂
WTF?! Lolz 😂 this is a circus!!
nope its politics
This is America
wow! I thought I was watching hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
My boi Billy Long from Mo! Only he would auction a phone that someone is holding.
I would like to know one thing. If this lady was a reporter or what kind of message was she trying to deliver to Mr. Billy Long and the rest of the politicians present in there. It seems funny and hilarious in a way but I might thought the lady was feeling embarrassed by the attitude and reaction of Mr. Billy Long. Have a good weekend greetings your friend Joaquin. That's life sometimes as adults we have to things with good humor and laughter, and enjoy life.
That necktie was perfect for the occasion.
This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen😂
and that's an example of censorship (much needed in this case!)
You are in the wrong business Sir. Sell the lady out. Trending soon.... Lol
This was great!!!
Awesome job
She was right.
This is some of the funniest 💩I've seen in awhile!!!
