>> have a question for congress in cowley. someone said you had inappropriately touched a staffer for mr. cantor. a b that has been blown out of proportion. i would like a statement. >> i had a few words with the young staff member of mr. cantor. i believe that his actions on the floor were out of line and not in keeping with the decor of the house. he agreed with me and he apologized and accepted his apology. clearly, the republicans are not happy with us continuing to say let's open the government. because they're not opening the government. and that frustration i think boiled over. andstaffer is a good person there was an exchange of my staff members. i was not close by. mr. crowley said he thought that was inappropriate and glad to hear that staffer has apologized. the issue is we need to open the government for the american people, not get distracted by the fact that the government of the united states of america that serves the american people is shut down needlessly for political purposes only. 186 signatures. who what
