One member of Congress has torn into another, publicly, for an on-floor confrontation that didn’t go well.
It is Fox News that reports Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., bashed Rep. John Mannion, D-N.Y., after he shouted at Lawler he was on the “wrong side” of the House floor.
The report said, “Democrats and Republicans traditionally sit on opposite sides of the chamber, but it’s not unusual for lawmakers of either party to enter through any door and cross to their side.”
Lawler entered, and Mannion attacked him with, “Get over there and tell them the country is falling apart.”
Lawler responded on social media, “John Mannion was entirely unhinged and unprofessional. That was a shameful display that exposed his complete lack of temperament.
“No wonder numerous staffers have previously alleged a toxic work environment. He should go seek help for anger management,” The social media statement is linked, not embedded, because of language that followed.
Mannion, ahead of the dust-up, “was heard shouting at reporters,” the report said: “We need you. We need you to hold them accountable. Media, it’s your country too.”
