"Sit there and smirk": Tense exchange between Wisconsin senator and Minnesota AG

Republican senators sparred with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison in a tense hearing over immigration enforcement in the state.

Ron Johnson of Wisconsin drilled in over the role of activists in protesting immigration enforcement in Minnesota, suggesting Minnesota officials were essentially encouraging them while Josh Hawley of Missouri hammered Ellison over fraud investigations in the state.

At one point, Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio attacked Ellison as a "low caliber" witness.

"A tragedy was going to happen. And you encouraged it," Johnson yelled.

Johnson then accused Ellison of smirking at him.

Ellison replied: "Are you asking me for comment, Senator? Because everything you said was untrue."

"You disgust me," Johnson replied.
