Shouting match erupts on House floor: ‘Get over there and get some f***ing balls!'
A shouting match erupted on the House floor Thursday with a hot mic capturing the moment Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) was confronted by a fellow lawmaker allegedly because he was on the Democrats' side of the floor. 'F***ing get over there and get some f***ing balls!' the man yelled to Lawler. 'Tell them! Tell them! You know who I am!' The heated exchange happened just after a vote on a resolution, while members were still milling about on the House floor. A video of the session shows that approximately 10 seconds into the recording, a man's voice abruptly cuts through the chatter. Even though the microphone was quickly shut off, muffled shouting continued in the background. The sudden outburst drew visible reactions from members across the chamber, briefly bringing conversations to a halt. Rep. Lawler later posted about the incident on social media and identified the individual as Rep. John Mannion (D-NY). 'John Mannion was entirely unhinged and unprofessional,' Lawler wrote in a post on X. 'That was a shameful display that exposed his complete lack of temperament. No wonder numerous staffers have previously alleged a toxic work environment. He should go seek help for anger management — and f*** off.' Rep. Mannion has not yet issued a public response to the incident.

Mike Lawler tells NY Dem to 'f--- off' after chaos ignites on House floor
Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., tore into his fellow Empire State lawmaker on Thursday after the latter accosted Lawler on the House floor. Chaos briefly broke out in the House of Representatives during the chamber's final vote series of the week, when Rep. John Mannion, D-N.Y., began shouting at Lawler that he was on the wrong side of the floor. Democrats and Republicans traditionally sit on opposite sides of the chamber, but it's not unusual for lawmakers of either party to enter through any door and cross to their side. Mannion was then heard shouting at Lawler, "Get over there and tell them the country is falling apart." Lawler responded to Mannion on X, "John Mannion was entirely unhinged and unprofessional. That was a shameful display that exposed his complete lack of temperament." "No wonder numerous staffers have previously alleged a toxic work environment. He should go seek help for anger management — and f--- off," Lawler said. Unverified accusations arose during Mannion's campaign that he had created a toxic work environment for staffers in the New York State Senate, which the New York Democrat dismissed at the time as a "false political attack." Fox News Digital reached out to Mannion's office for comment but did not immediately hear back. The New York Democrat was heard shouting at reporters ahead of the confrontation, "We need you. We need you to hold them accountable. Media, it's your country too." "Don't cover the distractions. Cover the actions that lead us towards authoritarianism, please," Mannion yelled, according to Politico. Mannion is a first-term Democrat who unseated former Rep. Brandon Williams, R-N.Y., whose district boundaries were changed last year to include more blue-leaning areas. Lawler's office referred Fox News Digital to his statement on X when reached for comment. The dust-up was brief but is a sign of the sky-high tensions in the current political climate. Democrats were already furious over the forced ejection of Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., from a media event being held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday.

Chaitan Mugili has been appointed General Manager at The Westin Riverwalk, San Antonio
The Westin Riverwalk, San Antonio is proud to welcome back Chaitan Mugili as its newly appointed General Manager - a significant full-circle moment in his distinguished hospitality career. Nearly two decades after serving as Front Desk/Housekeeping Manager at the same property, Mugili now returns to lead the hotel as its top executive. Before rejoining The Westin Riverwalk, Mugili most recently served as General Manager for Winston Hospitality, where he led operations for the AC by Marriott & Element by Westin in downtown San Antonio. There, he managed 343 rooms, a rooftop bar, and multiple commercial tenants - overseeing a team of 150 associates across every operational discipline. Over the course of his 20+ year career, Mugili has held executive leadership roles with Marriott, Hyatt, and Starwood Hotels, consistently improving guest satisfaction, financial performance, and team culture. He is a two-time General Manager of the Year recipient - recognized by Marriott Hotels (2018) and SAHLA (2021) - and led his previous properties to top performance rankings in guest experience. Chaitan's leadership extends beyond hotel walls. He currently serves as Chairman of the San Antonio Hotel & Lodging Association (SAHLA) and sits on the board of the San Antonio Visitor Alliance. On May 29, 2025, Mugili was formally recognized by the Texas House of Representatives with a certificate of appreciation honoring his "commitment to excellence and service within our community and the State of Texas." He was also invited to the Texas State Capitol to be honored with a Gallery Recognition on the House Floor - a tribute to his impactful work advancing advocacy and education through SAHLA. His broader community contributions include raising over $16,000 for charitable organizations such as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the Susan G. Komen Foundation, as well as volunteering with the San Antonio Food Bank. As he steps into this new chapter, Mugili brings not only operational expertise but a deep personal connection to the hotel, its culture, and its community. The Westin Riverwalk is poised to thrive under his vision and leadership.
