Several hours earlier, in*a raucous scene, Ryan and Republican lawmakers —*who reentered the House floor more than 10 hours after the sit-in began — were booed by Democrats.*
Some Republicans reacted angrily, including Texas Rep.*Louie Gohmert, who yelled "Radical Islam" multiple times on the House floor.*
