What happened on the floor of the House after they reconvened Wednesday Night?

I heard a Dem Congresswoman interviewed on NPR (from Pennsylvania?) saying there were tense moments on the floor of the House. She said a Repub rep squared up to fight, raising his fist. I don't know what it was about but she said it bothered her almost as much as the threat from the rioters. Anyone else know the details of this?

Conor Lamb (PA) called someone a "liar" and other things and the Republicans took offense.

contestation of the votes of peddling lies. repubs objected and asked for it to be removed from the records. Pelosi told them to fuck off. repubs started advancing towards Lamb. schiff and Colin Allred ( former nfl linebacker) moved to comfront them and block them. The repubs scattered and left the chamber.
