Well, I got my answer I guess, but it still seems like a strange usage. From https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/98-572GOV.h...

Stricture Against Personalities in Debate.

The term “personalities” is generally understood in this context to mean critical
personal references. Representatives are prohibited from referring negatively to
individual Members, identifiable groups of Members, the Speaker, the President, or
the Vice President. This prohibition also has been applied to nominated candidates
for President and Vice President, including those who are not Members of Congress
or an incumbent President or Vice President. Similar restrictions apply to remarks
about individual Senators.

House precedents provide guidance on what constitutes engaging in personalities
in debate when different categories of individuals (e.g., the President, another
Representative, the Speaker) are the subject of remarks made on the House floor.
Some important principles that emerge from these precedents are presented below.
