Lauren Underwood to Home Sec: You committed murder.

From USA TODAY: Rep. Lauren Underwood, a first-term Democratic congresswoman from Illinois, accused the head of Homeland Security of INTENTIONALLY killing 5 migrant children.

"I feel like, and the evidence is really clear, that this is intentional," Underwood said to audible gasps in the committee room. "It’s a policy choice."

Before the hearing took a recess, an enraged Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., the ranking member of the House Homeland Security committee, said Underwood basically accused the US government of committing murder, and requested that Underwood's comments be "taken down."

Such a procedure marks many questionable comments made by the house member and opens the possibility of punishment against that member.

Members of the committee voted 9 to 5 to approve Rogers' request, meaning Underwood could face a variety of punishments.
