President Trump was seen taking part in a high-volume screaming match with fellow Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana.
The incident arose during a closed-door GOP Senate luncheon, where the fiery confrontation arose over deep party divisions linked to the administration's costly four-month-old war in Iran and a controversial peace framework.
The closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill was designed to align Senate Republicans on voter ID legislation. But it soon imploded when President Trump fiercely questioned why any Republican would want to break ranks to show support for a war powers resolution limiting his executive military authority.
Senator Cassidy stood up to confront Trump's direction on this matter, which was not taken well by the president. Room attendees shared more about how Cassidy confronted Trump about leaving the American citizens in the dark and not letting them in on what was really going on. A war was told to last a few weeks now lasted four months, and the people want answers.
Trump slammed the senator and called him a lunatic, ordering him to sit down, but the duo kept at it in terms of loud volume and tone, forcing colleagues to step in and pull them apart. To the press standing outside, the senator admitted he lost his cool as he was Irish, but did confirm that his stance on the public getting more transparency remained the same.
