West Virginia Senate parliamentarian shouts at Democratic lawmaker

A West Virginia Senate parliamentarian repeatedly shouted at a Democratic lawmaker during a public floor session Wednesday night, alleging the senator had threatened to fire him.

Senate President Mitch Carmichael broke up the altercation, directing Senate Sergeant-at-Arms to escort Jake Nichols, the parliamentarian, out of the Senate chamber.

“Get him out of here!” Carmichael said.

Moments earlier, the Senate staffer screamed that Sen. John Unger, D-Berkeley had threatened to fire him, if Democrats ever regained control of the Senate in West Virginia.
