An August recess is allegedly around the corner, tempers are wearing thin, and NBC News producer Frank Thorp V has posted a Vine allegedly showing Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) grabbing a staffer’s arm for trying to stop him from entering an in-progress GOP meeting through the front door. The staffer’s face tells the rest of the story.

Editor’s note: Rep. Young represents Alaska, not Arkansas as this post originally read. Twitchy regrets the error.
Apologies to Frank Thorp for misspelling his name in an earlier version of this post.
