Sergeant-At-Arms Brian “Yellow Man” Audinett was back at his post during Friday’s meeting of the House of Representatives, having avoided being fired after assaulting several journalists a few weeks ago during a Senate Special Select Committee public hearing. A majority of U.D.P. parliamentarians voted to spare Audinett, only reprimanding him and making him apologize to the affected members of the press. House Speaker Laura Longsworth was one of two members of the National Assembly Staff Committee to vote for his dismissal, and Leader of the Opposition John Briceño, whose colleague Florencio Marin Junior was the other, wanted to pay tribute to that at the opening of the meeting. But he ran afoul of the Standing Orders and the Speaker had to awkwardly intervene.
