一名共和党议员因选择纪念美国建国250周年的爱国着装，被宾夕法尼亚州由民主党控制的州众议院议会厅驱逐。本周，该州正准备庆祝美国建国250周年，特朗普政府正在举办“伟大美国州博览会”，而夏皮罗政府则在匹兹堡至威尔克斯-巴里等地举办America250PA系列音乐会和展会。
作为美国最重要的摇摆州，宾夕法尼亚州长期以来政府党派分歧严重：州长乔希·夏皮罗掌控行政部门，民主党在众议院以1个席位占据多数，共和党则在参议院以4个席位占据多数——这导致了本周像州众议员埃里克·达万佐遭遇的这类争执。
快讯嘉宾承认对庆祝美国建国250周年“深感不安”，称国家正被“摧毁”

达万佐代表匹兹堡和格林斯堡之间的韦斯特摩兰县部分区域。他表示，周二开会时自己身着红白蓝配色的西装和领带，众议院议长乔安娜·麦克林顿（来自费城西南部的民主党议员）的反应让他震惊。
达万佐告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他在议会厅里走动着和同事打招呼，最终停下来与众议院少数党党鞭蒂莫西·奥尼尔（来自华盛顿县的共和党议员）交谈。
“我们正在聊天，当一名众议院摄影师拍照时我转过身——然后下一秒我就发现党鞭奥尼尔不见了。”

“几分钟后他回来对我说：‘嘿，你不会想知道接下来发生了什么’，”达万佐说道，随后回忆称麦克林顿已经向少数党领导层通报，他的着装不合适。
“我当时说：‘什么？你一定是在开玩笑吧，’”达万佐表示，之后他才得知麦克林顿要求他离开众议院会场。
达万佐最初不顾民主党领导层的要求，决定留在会场，直到一名众议院安保人员告知他，麦克林顿要求他要么脱下西装外套，要么离开。

“我没有脱下外套，而是直接离开了众议院会场，”他说。
达万佐表示，尽管麦克林顿显然反对他的美国250周年主题套装，但会后有民主党议员在议会大厦找到他，表示不认同将他驱逐的决定。
来自格雷渡口的费城民主党众议员乔丹·戴维斯曾对达万佐说：“这位议员今天穿的外套色彩非常鲜艳，非常爱国，我看到了，我的朋友。”
达万佐称，众议院领导层此前曾批准在议会厅内身着主题服装。
“他们被要求身着骄傲月主题颜色的服装，因为当时要在议会厅拍摄合影，”达万佐告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，并指出6月是骄傲月。“那没问题，我们可以为骄傲月拍摄合影，但显然不能以爱国者的身份出现，哪怕只是拍张照或者进入众议院会场，”达万佐说道。他随后引用了麦克林顿关于骄傲月的发言，称其鼓励人们“真实做自己”“自由去爱”。
“你们之所以能够自由去爱，是因为勇敢的男女们为这面旗帜献出了生命，”达万佐说。
“他们为我们的国家牺牲。这完全是虚伪。你们可以穿着运动鞋进入会场，可以戴着高顶礼帽，可以穿迷彩夹克。什么都可以，但只要穿着爱国主题的服装出现，就会被要求离开。”
他指出，《独立宣言》正是在本周六签署250周年，签署地点距离他的选区以东约250英里的费城。他本人也是“二百周年宝宝”，1976年出生，今年恰逢50岁生日。

达万佐同时也是州众议院“美国优先党团”的负责人，他表示该党团的工作重点包括：在这个日益后工业化的“基石之州”推动制造业回流，以及为“杀害宾夕法尼亚州居民的非法移民”设立“自动死刑”条款。

“我提出了一项法案，将向宾夕法尼亚州的每个家庭发放250美元支票，以此庆祝美国建国250周年。这就是我所坚守的，这就是我所信仰的。我只是在代表家乡选民的心声，展现真实的自我，”他说。
“即将到来的是一场盛大的庆祝活动。我想表达爱国情怀，这有什么错吗？”达万佐在本次采访中身着的正是这套同款套装。

A Republican lawmaker was booted from Pennsylvania’s Democrat-controlled State House chamber over his choice of patriotic attire celebrating the U.S. founding 250 years ago this week in the commonwealth.
The dispute comes as Americans prepare to celebrate the nation’s semiquincentennial and as the Trump administration showcases the Great American State Fair while the Shapiro administration features America250PA concerts and fairs from Pittsburgh to Wilkes-Barre.
America’s most prominent swing state has long enjoyed closely-divided government, with Gov. Josh Shapiro controlling the executive, Democrats holding a one-seat House majority and Republicans holding a four-seat Senate majority – which has led to dustups like that involving state Rep. Eric Davanzo this week.

Davanzo, who represents a swath of Westmoreland County between Pittsburgh and Greensburg, said he was shocked by the reaction of House Speaker Joanna McClinton, D-Southwest Philadelphia, when he came to Tuesday’s session sporting a red, white and blue suit and tie.
Davanzo told Fox News Digital he walked around the chamber greeting colleagues and eventually stopped to chat with House Minority Whip Timothy O’Neal, R-Washington.
“We were talking, I turned around when a House photographer got a picture… and the next thing I know Whip O’Neal is gone.”

“He comes back a few minutes later and he says, ‘hey, you’re not going to like this,’” Davanzo said, going on to recount that McClinton informed minority leadership that his attire was inappropriate.
“I’m like, ‘what? You’ve got to be kidding,’” Davanzo said, before learning McClinton wanted him off the House floor.
Davanzo initially decided to stay on the floor despite Democratic leaders’ wishes until a House security guard informed him McClinton was demanding he either remove his suit jacket or leave.

“Instead of taking my jacket off, I walked off the House Floor,” he said.
Davanzo said that while it was clear McClinton objected to his America 250-themed suit, some Democratic lawmakers came up to him afterward in the Capitol and said they did not agree with his ejection.
One Philadelphia Democrat, Rep. Jordan Davis of Gray’s Ferry, had remarked to Davanzo the suit was “a very colorful jacket the representative is wearing today. Very patriotic, I see, my friend.”
Davanzo said House leadership had previously endorsed thematic attire in the chamber.
“They were asked to dress in pride colors because they were going to do a House photo on the floor,” Davanzo told Fox News Digital, noting June is Pride Month. “That’s OK. We can take our photos for pride but we can’t show up as a patriot and take a photo or even get on the House floor apparently,” Davanzo said. He then read from a statement from McClinton about Pride Month and how it encourages people to be “authentic” and “love freely.”
“You’re only able to love freely because the brave men and women died for this flag,” Davanzo said.
“They died for our country. This is complete hypocrisy. You’re allowed to wear tennis shoes on the floor. You’re allow to wear top hats. You can wear camo-jackets. Everything across the board, but don’t show up with a patriotic outfit on because you’re going to be asked to leave.”
He noted that the Declaration of Independence was signed 250 years ago Saturday about 250 miles east of his district in Philadelphia and that he is also a “Bicentennial Baby,” born in 1976 and celebrating his 50th birthday this year.

Davanzo also leads the America First Caucus in the State House, which he said focuses on efforts like onshoring manufacturing in the increasingly postindustrial Keystone State and providing for an “automatic death penalty” for illegal immigrants convicted of murdering Pennsylvanians.

“I introduced bills that we would give $250 checks out to every family household in Pennsylvania so that we can celebrate America 250. This is what I stand for, this is what believe in. I’m just representing my folks back home of who I am,” he said.
“This is a big celebration coming up. I want to be patriotic, why not? What is so wrong with what I have on?” said Davanzo, who wore the very same suit during his interview.
