A Republican and a Democratic lawmaker started screaming at each other during a hearing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday.
The heated clash between Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) happened during a hearing on sanctuary policies before a House Judiciary subcommittee. Raskin attempted to get Lawler to condemn the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, who were gunned down by Trump's immigration agents during a protest in Minneapolis in January. However, Lawler was only interested in talking about family members of victims killed by undocumented immigrants.
The back-and-forth soon escalated into a full-blown shouting match.
"While some of my colleagues may not want to hear the truth, the same outrage you feel about Renee Good and Alex Pretti —," Lawler said, as he was asked to end his statement.
"I do feel that outrage," Raskin said.
"You do not!" Lawler yelled back.
"Do you feel the outrage about Alex Pretti and Renee Good?" Raskin yelled back at Lawler.
"You should be ashamed of yourself!" Lawler said, calling the Democrat "a disgrace."
"You don't belong in this committee; you should get the hell out of here!" Raskin yelled back, pointing at the GOP lawmaker.
"You don't understand the rules of the committee, you don't understand the Constitution, you're full of it. You're absolutely full of it. Say one word about Alex Pretti and Renee Good," Raskin demanded.
