A Republican lawmaker reportedly shouted at President Donald Trump during a tense closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill.
The 80-year-old president met with Senate Republicans for lunch Wednesday after abruptly canceling the signing ceremony for a bipartisan affordable housing bill.
During the meeting, Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy challenged Trump over the Iran memorandum of understanding — Trump’s 14-point plan to end the Middle East war, according to MS NOW reporter Mychael Schnell.
One unnamed source told the outlet that the senator was “yelling” at the president.
According to CNN’s Manu Raju, Trump instructed Cassidy to sit down, but the lawmaker refused and raised his voice, referring to Trump as “brother.” Trump responded that he was not his brother and called him a “lunatic.” Cassidy eventually took his seat.
