Hours after the demonstration, Gaetz lashed out at congressional Democrats as an “angry pack of rabid hyenas."

“I think Democrats shouldn’t be doing it. I think Republicans shouldn’t be doing it. I think we elect you to get your freaking job done one way or the other,” McCain said Thursday, adding that “when you’re doing what Republicans did yesterday, it’s the reason why Congress has a 13 percent approval rating.”

The protest delayed a House deposition with Laura Cooper, the deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, by about five hours and caused a stir in the Capitol.

Many Democrats took issue with the fact that Republicans violated congressional rules by bringing cellphones into a secure facility.

Multiple House committees have conducted closed-door depositions with several current and former Trump administration officials as part of the inquiry, spurring outrage from Trump and Republicans over what they view as a lack of transparency into the process.
