Footage from floor of US Senate captures Sen. Katie Britt chewing out Dem colleague

U.S. Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., appeared to lay into her colleague on the Senate floor, new video shows.

In the clip, Britt can be seen in a heated conversation with Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., before Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., began speaking. The clip doesn’t contain any audio, so it’s not clear what the two may have been arguing about, but the body language indicates that it was a passionate topic.

In a follow-up tweet, Business Insider’s Bryan Metzger posted a C-SPAN feed link that shows the discussion carried on for about 10 minutes.

Unclear what it’s about, but Britt is the chair and Murphy is the ranking member on the Homeland Security Subcommittee of the Approps Committee, and it’s approps season, so perhaps something related to that?

No audio means X users got to create their own theories:
