(CBrief) – California Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters appeared to get into a shouting match with Republican lawmakers on the U.S. House floor on Thursday night.

“This is my 9th vote for Hakeem Jefferies,” said Waters, who stood up when it was her turn to vote before she turned and appeared to point to a group of Republicans behind her. “Matt Rosendale, get it together.”

Waters continued speaking but was drowned out by Republicans shouting, “Order!”

Before Waters’ comments, Montana GOP Rep. Matt Rosendale went after Waters directly while speaking on the floor.

“Last summer we began to negotiate, a group of us in good faith, a list of changes, amendments, to the rules of this body. Not to empower ourselves, not to bring personal benefit to ourselves, but to empower you and you and you, Maxine, and you, and you, and everyone sitting in this chamber equally,” Rosendale said.

“There’s no rules, I did not use anyone’s name… Excuse me, Maxine.”

“Rosendale is one of 20 Republicans who have voted against GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy for House speaker through 11 rounds of balloting over three days. With the GOP’s slim majority, McCarthy can only lose four members of his caucus. Republicans cannot pass a rules package, consider legislation, or begin oversight of the Biden administration until they agree on a speaker. Democrats have voted in lockstep for Rep.-elect Hakeem Jefferies, D-N.Y., to be the next House speaker. The House voted to adjourn until noon on Friday,” Fox News reported.
