Hey, JOHN THUNE. You BUGGIN' over SNAP, bro? It's like someone...walked over your grave.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) got heated during a debate on Wednesday over a bill to end the government shutdown, according to a new report.

CBS News reported on Wednesday that lawmakers debated a measure filed by Sen. Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM) that would fully fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, otherwise known as food stamps, and WIC, a federal food security program that supports women with infant children. Lujan asked that the measure be passed by unanimous consent.

"We have tried to do that 13 times, and you voted no 13 times!" Thune shouted, pointing across the chamber at Lujan, according to CBS News. "This isn't a political game. These are real people's lives that we are talking about. And you all have just figured out, 29 days in, oh, that there might be some consequences?"

1. No, you did not try 13 times to fund SNAP and WIC

You tried 13 times to defund the ACA …

There are consequences to being evil. Mr. Thune

2. Definitely, but CBS isn't going to say any such thing. Gotta impress the new boss.
