When they threw down, it was outside, with dueling pistols or fists. It was easier on the furniture, which was new.

But yes, there were occasional brawls.

I have no real problem with this, men love to butt heads. It just doesn't belong on the floor of the Senate. It doesn't belong indoors. Let them take it out to the parking lot.

Oh, and I'd pay to see McCarthy flattened.
