Alabama U.S. Senator Katie Britt was spotted having a heated conversation from the floor of the Senate chamber on Thursday.

In a video posted to social media by a Capitol Hill reporter, Britt was really letting Democrat U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) have it. Take a look:

It’s unclear what the exchange was about, but the reporter who caught the clip speculates, “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?”

Murphy is strident on a number of mainstream liberal issues like gun control and immigration. But whatever it was that drew the ire of Britt — she clearly wasn’t backing down.

Former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz chimed in with a quip about his own experience. “Every woman I know from Alabama has this gear,” Gaetz posted. “Good for @KatieBrittforAL”.
