"That's why I'm the majority leader and you're the minority whip."

Lindsey McPherson @lindsemcpherson (@rollcall)
First big 🔥shot thrown during first Hoyer/Scalise colloquy. Scalise points out that Trump was elected on promising to build a wall. Hoyer responds by mentioning the more recent election:

"That’s why I’m the majority leader and you’re the minority whip.”

Dems have zero obligation to help him build a wall that he said Mexico would pay for it.
