On the floor of the upper chamber of Congress on Thursday, Senator Ben Sasse and Senator Chris Murphy got into an angry exchange. It began with a speech by Sasse in which he noted a message from Murphy that was directed at the Nebraska senator, among other Republicans, for voting against the omnibus package.

The bipartisan $12B Ukraine aid package was voted against.
Chris Murphy posted on March 17, 2022.
He justified his vote on that basis, because he was frustrated that the emergency aid bill was not passed sooner on its own, instead of being tacked on to the omnibus package.
We spent 13 billion dollars on Ukrainian aid. It was less than 1 percent of what we passed in the middle of the night last week that was actually Ukrainian aid.
He said that Ukrainian aid was a little bit of sugar on a larger bill.
Murphy's implication that Republicans were opposing the aid within the large bill was an attempt to bully the other side.
The denunciation of politicians who provide fan-service to a narrow slice of the populace to the detriment of the American people was continued by Sasse. He explained that if you allow liars to lie constantly, then they will just keep doing it.
Murphy wondered if Sasse had broken Senate rules by accusing him of tribal hackery in a chart that stood beside him as he delivered his speech.
He characterized it as a concern because Republicans voted against the omnibus and critiqued the Biden administration for not doing enough for Ukraine.
Murphy was asked if he believed the people who voted against the omnibus bill were against Ukrainian aid.
Murphy was cut off before he replied.
I'm asking a simple question, do you think a single person voted for you?
Murphy said absolutely not.
"Then what is the point of the post?" asked Sasse.
Murphy said there wasn't enough compromise in the institution.
The debate was about three issues: Ukrainian aid, the budget process, and grandstanding. He argued that the Republic got dumber because of the Connecticut senator's misleading message.
Murphy argued that it was convenient for Republicans to eviscerate the president for his conduct, but not be willing to cast the difficult votes necessary to help the president effectuate a policy there.
Murphy defended the decision to send no aid to Ukraine, saying there were infinite other options. Murphy said that he would take the senator's words seriously and try to raise them in a way that is constructive in the future.
The exchange ended with Sasse agreeing that the Biden administration is willing to spend money on Ukrainian aid, as well as restating his frustration with the budget process.
The testy argument between the two senators was in defiance of Senate rules.
