A rare and contentious showdown among Democrats played out in public view on the Senate floor Tuesday as an animated Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) sparred with colleagues over passing bipartisan bills to bolster local police forces.

Angrily screaming at two of his shocked Democratic colleagues, his words all but reverberating off the chamber walls, Booker blocked the passage of several bipartisan bills that would fund police programs, arguing that President Donald Trump’s administration has been withholding law enforcement money from Democratic-leaning states.
