So, this really happened.

Via Washington Examiner:

House Democrats enthusiastically cheered the press Wednesday evening after Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., thanked reporters for their coverage of the Democrats’ pro-gun control “sit-in.”

“Let me begin … by thanking the media,” said the South Carolina congressman from the floor of the House.

Democratic lawmakers then turned to the press gallery and whooped and cheered on members of the press.
