Bill Cassidy said on the Senate floor before launching into a complaint about the no infamous no-call that occurred Sunday during the Saints-Rams game. “It’s gonna take me awhile to get over that,” Rep. Steve Scalise, also of Louisiana, said in reference to the same no-call.

See the video for this week’s continued back-and-forth, including some typically folksy aphorisms from Sen. John Kennedy and President Donald Trump’s new nickname for Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
