LOL.
CNN’s Manu Raju is a little bent out of shape after Arizona Republican Sen. Martha McSally called him a “liberal hack” after he asked her a question this morning:
Sen. Martha McSally, a Republican facing a difficult election race, lashed out when I asked if she would consider new evidence as part of the Senate trial. “You’re a liberal hack – I’m not talking to you. You’re a liberal hack.” She then walked into a hearing room.

We can’t stop laughing at how funny this video is:

And, TBH, we need to talk about Manu’s sexist behavior here (are we doing this right?):
This is the sexism women face everyday
If they don't stop, smile, and answer when a man talks to them, they're "lashing out" https://t.co/1LHMSmGHmB

Too many “Manus” think this is acceptable behavior!
How many women have had to put up with Manus on the street, Manus on the bus, Manus on the subway, Manus online. Saying no to a Manu shouldn’t be a bad thing.

Sen. McSally is owning it and even tweeted out the encounter from a different angle:

A) you are.
B) here’s the video. https://t.co/zVgk9pBhdf pic.twitter.com/cfFdotLjFK— Martha McSally (@SenMcSallyAZ) January 16, 2020
And now it’s Raju who’s in the middle of the story:

Journos and other lib blue-checks are rushing to defend Raju:
McSally isn't loved by Trump right in Arizona and she may this impeachment trial as a way to sure up base cred https://t.co/gEQoCMp1P4

She was supposed to be one of the "moderates" that Republicans argued we should protect from my "vote them all out" approach.
This is why the whole crew of them needs to go. https://t.co/5tcbEkfREG— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) January 16, 2020
They are all Trump clones now. https://t.co/tuwxrAtpC4

Yes, the former combat pilot is “having a meltdown”:
A vulnerable Republican Senator having a meltdown before the trial even starts suggests that maybe McConnell’s position on impeachment is not the winner Republicans want you to think it is. https://t.co/LZKh6JMju0

Again, former combat pilots don’t crack under the pressure of CNN’s journos:
Cracking under pressure. Not a good look. https://t.co/Inlkb3xJV5

Eric Swalwell wants people to swamp her phone lines over it:
Are honoring one’s oath, objectively considering evidence, and honoring the Constitution exclusively “liberal” values now?
Tell @SenMcSallyAZ what you think: 202-224-2235. https://t.co/o2J7a0G5RW— Eric Swalwell (@ericswalwell) January 16, 2020
Ok, Howard:
I guess she only wants to represent half or Arizona. The people of Arizona deserve better than this. https://t.co/QdGsWsm2YZ
