Audience applauds, GOP microphone turned off at end of Yovanovitch hearing
Audience members at Friday's impeachment inquiry broke into applause after former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch concluded her testimony.
Even as Rep. Mike Conaway (R-Texas) repeatedly asked to be recognized, audience members applauded Yovanovitch and Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) gaveled the second public impeachment hearing closed.
Conaway's microphone was turned off after he tried to interrupt Schiff immediately after Schiff gaveled the hearing closed, with Conaway citing the need to push back against "disparaging remarks" by Schiff against the Republicans.
As Schiff gaveled out, Conaway requested recognition, telling Schiff that "you disparaged members on this side of the aisle, we should have a chance to respond to your remarks."
Schiff did not respond to Conaway, while Conaway continued to say "Mr. Chairman" multiple times to get his attention until Conaway's microphone was turned off.

I was wondering who was doing all that caterwauling.
