Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) said Feb. 24 he’s appealing to the House Ethics Committee the $5,000 fine he was assessed earlier this year for refusing to go through metal detectors blocking access to the House chamber.

“Today, with the assistance of my private counsel, I appealed the fines I incurred as a result of my refusal to abide by Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s unconstitutional placement of magnetometers in front of the entrance to the Floor of the House of Representatives,” Clyde said in a statement provided to The Epoch Times.
