Frost referred \u2064to Trump as the &#8220;grifter-in-chief&#8221; and was unrepentant when asked by Chairman James Comer (R-KY) to retract his statements. This led to Comer&#8217;s decision\u2064 to remove Frost from \u200bthe proceedings as he reportedly disrupted the order of the meeting. Other members,including Reps. Nancy Mace \u2062(R-SC) and Jasmine Crockett (D-TX),\u2062 attempted\u2063 to interject during the heated exchange. After being barred from participation, Frost expressed \u200chis frustrations, claiming \u200cthe committee was trying to silence him for calling out perceived corruption. \u200dMace commented on \u200cFrost\u2019s behavior,suggesting \u200bhe \u200bwas overly emotional regarding\u2063 Trump,while Frost defended his right to speak on such issues in the public forum.
