Top House Democrats and Republicans agreed during a House Rules Committee business meeting on judicial rulings Monday that judges must both be protected and calls for violence against them condemned.

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) began the exchange by calling for condemnation of Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) hanging a “wanted poster” for judges outside his office.

“I do want to ask unanimous consent to insert in the record, this is one floor below my office in front of Representative Ogle’s office, wanted posters of judges.
