While listening to live audio from a Senate hearing, Hill reporter Niv Elis picked up an amusing exchange between an unidentified male Senator and GOP Sen. Susan Collins.
The topic at hand was GOP House Rep. Blake Farenthold, who earlier this week offered to duel female GOP Senators “Aaron Burr-style” over their opposition to Trumpcare.
After the male Senator assured Collins that she could “beat the shit” out of Farenthold, she laughed and said, “He’s so unattractive. It’s unbelievable.”
That’s Farenthold in the duck pajamas. Twitter wags have noted that the “M” on the one girl’s hand is a nightclub’s notice to bartenders that she is a minor.

(Farenthold suggested he’d want to settle things with female senators against health bill with a duel)
