GOP representatives jeered a reporter on Tuesday during a press conference for Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., after he was nominated for the House Speakership.
During the presser, ABC News reporter Rachel Scott asked Johnson about what she called his effort to "overturn" the 2020 presidential election results, eliciting a torrent of boos and one "Shut up!" from the GOP lawmakers assembled around the nominee.
She also asked if Johnson would support more aid for Israel and Ukraine if elected speaker, which prompted another stiff rebuke from the lawmakers, who dismissed her, stating she had already asked another question.
The exchange happened Tuesday after House Republicans nominated Johnson to be Speaker of the House, the fourth candidate to be voted on since Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was ousted from the position earlier this month.
