    Earlier that session, Sexton warned Jones he was nearly “impugning the reputation” of Republican Rep. Gino Bulso by calling Bulso’s bills “reprehensible,” “asinine,” and “insulting,” including one being discussed at the time that would allow private schools with pre-kindergarten classes to have policies allowing guns on campus.

    Democrats noted that Bulso himself had been told to stay on topic, including when he said Jones “continually misrepresents facts to the public,” then later said Jones “makes outrageous statements,” without being put up for a vote on whether he should be silenced.

    So saying the bill is reprehensible, asinine, and insulting is impugning the author’s reputation, but saying the guy himself misrepresents the facts and makes outrageous statements is perfectly acceptable.

    These guys are so revoltingly hypocritical.
