(FOX NEWS) A junior Democratic congressman walked out of a moment of silence Monday night for victims of this weekend’s mass shooting at a Texas church.
In a video posted to Facebook Monday evening, California Rep. Ted Lieu said that he would not join his colleagues who were observing the moment of silence in the chambers of the House of Representatives.
“I can’t do this again; I’ve been to too many moments of silences,” Lieu said in the video. “In just my short period in Congress, three of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history have occurred. I will not be silent.”
