If any heard Katie Tur state she'd heard that Romney and Rob Portman got in screaming match: WRONG

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG. (I have NOT heard her correct herself)

It was Ron Johnson and Romney!

On Saturday, shortly after the bipartisan Senate vote to authorize witnesses in the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) reportedly got into a fight with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), with the two senators going after each other with raised voices and Johnson "visibly upset."

The altercation was confirmed by Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK), whose desk is located between Romney and Johnson on the Senate floor.

argument soon after.

Kyrsten Sinema was involved somehow too, according to one report. Johnson turned to her and tried to explain why he'd blown up, telling her that he thought they should get this thing over with. There was no more context on Sinema's involvement. If that story is true, she is also a witness.
