Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) snapped at Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker during his testimony before Congress Friday, telling him that making light of the proceedings was "not acceptable."
Jackson Lee took Whitaker to task as she asked House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler if she could have some of her five-minute questioning time restored after a disruption.
Whitaker, who earlier in the hearing called "time" on Nadler, interjected, "I don't know if your time's been restored or not."
Jackson Lee fired back at the perceived light-hearted comments, responding, "Mr. Attorney General, we're not joking here. And your humor is not acceptable."
She said that Congress has a duty and a right to ask him questions, and she told him that he needs to "behave appropriately," and she will do the same.
