John Carlson Misstates House Protest Rules

On the February 2nd edition of the John Carlson Show, Mr. Carlson made the following misstatement about protests in the US House of Representatives:
There are some people who think you should have a right to, uh, to demonstrate or at least express your opinion by what you wear, in the house chamber, uh in the house gallery. The answer is no, no you really don't. I don't think so.

Actually, yes, yes you really do:
"Neither guest should have been confronted about the expressive T-shirts," [Capitol Police Chief Terrance] Gainer's statement said.

I'm sure John wants to be accurate, but just doesn't have time to get the facts straight due to the demands of his new morning debate show.
