Representatives Harrison and Schatzline confronted Black lawmakers during consideration of a resolution honoring Beyonce

When it comes to the antics of Rep. Harrison, there is now dissention even in the ranks of the small group of Republicans who consistently oppose House leadership

Tensions on the Texas House floor stoked by Rep. Brian Harrison, R-Himself, are starting to get so out of hand that even some of his fellow Republicans who consistently oppose the chamber’s leadership are growing uncomfortable with his tactics.

“He’s flat out hurting our cause,” said one of the most ideologically conservative members of the House.

A prime example unfolded today when some Republican critics of newly elected Speaker Dustin Burrows told Quorum Report that Harrison went way too far in confronting African American legislators on the House floor during consideration of a resolution honoring Houston native Beyoncé for her achievements in country music this past year.
