Watch: Unhinged Dem Rep Has to Be Pulled Away From Tom Emmer in Heated Exchange Over Minneapolis Shooting

Tensions exploded on the House floor over the fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday, leading to one Democrat lawmaker needing to be pulled away from her Republican colleague after an animated tirade.
Democrat Rep. Angie Craig (MN-2), who is running for Senate in the North Star state, based on the strength of being *checks notes* a lesbian mom, got into it with House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (MN-6), reportedly over the shooting of a woman who opted to defy orders from law enforcement and then use her vehicle as a weapon.
And I'm not even going to entertain the arguments on the justification here - the ICE agent had every right to use his weapon based on the woman's actions, which were made clear in every angle posted to social media. As RedState Editor Bob Hoge wrote, she "jammed the accelerator and struck an officer" while "he fired back, killing her."
It's clear-cut.
Craig, though, seemingly didn't care for the evidence or perhaps closed her eyes while viewing it, and confronted Emmer, who had offered a defense of ICE following the shooting. What happened next shows this woman doesn't have the discipline or demeanor to serve as a representative in the halls of Congress, let alone as a Senator.
