In a clip that quickly went viral, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer appeared to scold Senator Kamala Harris for being way too giddy at an impeachment press conference.
WATCH:
The clip was reminiscent of when Pelosi silenced applause after the Trump impeachment vote.
WATCH:
Per Fox News, Schumer, joined by Harris, Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio., and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., held a press conference on Friday as Democrats continued to pressure Senate Republicans to allow additional witnesses to give their testimony.
But as a reporter began asking a question to the lawmakers, Harris was seen having a good chuckle with her Ohio colleague, prompting the minority leader to halt Harris’ laughter.
Harris responded with a facial expression of her own.
The moment was shared on social media, and immediately sparked criticism and mockery against the Senate Democrats.
“Remember: Democrats said that #impeachment was ‘sad’ and ‘somber.’ Did Senator Harris not get the memo?” the House Oversight Committee Republicans official Twitter account wrote.
