Rep. Nancy Pelosi crossed the aisle in the House Friday night — but only to confront Rep. Tom Marino (R-Pa.) after he criticized her for not knowing the facts of her argument.
I think Pelosi just went across the aisle to confront Marino.

Pelosi is pissed. She walked right over to the other side of the chamber to confront Tom Marino.

@thehill Pelosi is going nuts in the House, running over & attacking GOP Rep. Marino while he tries to speak, never seen anything like it.

After Pelosi interrupts, @RepTomMarino says he "hit the right nerve." Pelosi crosses to GOP side of chamber, argues back/forth w/ Marino.

After Rep Marino (R-PA) went after Pelosi in his floor speech, she stormed over to Marino and was pointing at him in his face, clearly upset

Pelosi stormed over to Marino, pointing her finger & saying something that did not appear to be an invitation to Thanksgiving dinner.

Pelosi was waving her finger at Rep Tom Marino R-PA, who had just spoken on the House floor

All is well now, apparently.
Rep Marino (R-PA) is now shaking hands and talking to Pelosi after they got into it on the House floor during the GOP border bill debate

Update:
Marino says Pelosi called him an “insignificant person” during their brief exchange.
