Yamiche Alcindor is in the room: here is some of what she is seeing from the senators:

Out of the Senate chamber and my goodness that was something to witness. Senators (Dems and GOP) were louder than I have ever heard them -- talking and at times openly laughing -- during that long video played by David Schoen of Democrats, reporters & commentators saying "fight."
During the spliced video featuring Sen Warren for a long while, Senator Tom Cotton in particular was laughing and shaking his head.
Many Democrats were exchanging troubled looks including Sen Schumer who looked particularly troubled but also laughed and shook his head at times.
Sen Tester reacted audibly to being featured in the Trump lawyer video & chuckled at the end when he was quoted as saying he approved the message.
Sen Booker on the other hand didn't seem to have a visible reaction to being featured & instead stared intently at the video.
One person who was not laughing or reacting to the Trump lawyers' extended video of Dems and reporters?
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. He sat stone-faced, legs crossed as the video was played. No laughing, no whispering, no looking around.
