Description: In an off the rails argument during a Senate confirmation hearing, Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy implies that Republican Senator John Kennedy is sexist after his heated questioning of Joe Biden nominee Jennifer Sung. The Republican did not take this criticism well and angry debate between he and the Democrat was sparked. In the wake of the Presidency of Donald Trump, high intensity events in Congress seem to be much more common.
