And we thought things were tense between Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Rand Paul! Apparently they’ve got nothing on Ben Sasse and Ted Cruz:

Sen. Sasse is up now. He apologizes to Sessions for any disturbance on that side of the dias because Sasse spilled a Dr. Pepper on Cruz.

If you're going to dump any drink on a senator from Texas, Dr. Pepper is the correct choice. https://t.co/UyAV1OHW30

Fair enough.
So, what happens now?
