Democratic Rep. John Mannion of New York directed a profane outburst at Republican Rep. Mike Lawler, also of New York, during a heated moment on the House floor Thursday.

The incident occurred following the passage of a $9.4 billion rescissions package, which aimed to roll back spending previously flagged as wasteful by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Mannion’s outburst unfolded in front of several members of Congress and at least two children who were present at the time.

“Fucking get over there and get some fucking balls!” Mannion screamed at Lawler.

According to Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman, Mannion’s tirade was reportedly sparked by Lawler’s presence on the side of the House floor typically occupied by Democrats. Lawler later responded to the incident with a post on X Thursday.

“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.”

“I’m a kid from Tipp Hill that’s fighting for my hometown and my country. I’m giving everything I have to stop the rise of authoritarian government and the destruction of American democracy,” Mannion claimed — without evidence — in a statement to the Daily Caller.

“If making some noise on the house floor and calling out Trump enablers draws attention to what’s happening to our country right before our eyes – good,” he continued.
