Democratic Rep. John Mannion of New York directed a profane outburst toward Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York Thursday on the House floor.
The outburst came after the House of Representatives debated and passed a $9.4 billion rescissions package clawing back spending that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cited as wasteful. Mannion’s tirade took place in the presence of multiple members of Congress with at least two children present on the House floor.
WATCH:
“Fucking get over there and get some fucking balls!” Mannion screamed at Lawler.
Mannion’s tirade was reportedly triggered by Lawler’s presence on the side of the House floor where Democrats normally sit, according to Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman. Lawler responded to the tirade with a post on X early Thursday evening.
“John Mannion was entirely unhinged and unprofessional,” Lawler said. “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 — and fuck off.”
Other Democrats escorted Mannion off the House floor after the verbally abusive outburst, NOTUS reporter Matt Fuller reported.
The incident on the House floor came hours after Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California was briefly detained after trying to storm a press conference held by Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem in Los Angeles, where riots broke out after United States Immigration and Customs enforcement carried out an operation.
