Rep. Ted Lieu, a California Democrat and Air Force veteran, brought up his active-duty service to the country as he aimed at Roy. He doubled down on his remarks in a statement, saying the outrage proved his argument that America is losing grip of its right to free speech. I meant it.

'Now I'm not naive enough to think I'm going to convince all of you to stand up for us - trust me, I've seen your voting records - but I am speaking to those [for whom] humanity still matters,' Kim said, taking a second swat at GOP lawmakers.
