On Thursday morning, CNN senior correspondent Manu Raju attempted to ask Arizona Republican Sen. Martha McSally whether she would consider new evidence as part of President Donald Trump’s upcoming impeachment trial.

Rather than answering the question, McSally— who is in a tough re-election race against Democrat Mark Kelly — lashed out at Raju.

“Manu, you’re a liberal hack, I’m not talking to you,” McSally said.

“You’re not going to answer the question?” Raju responded.

“You’re a liberal hack,” McSally repeated, before ducking into a hearing room.

A short time later, McSally doubled down by posting the video to Twitter herself:

A) you are.
B) here’s the video. https://t.co/zVgk9pBhdf pic.twitter.com/cfFdotLjFK

Below are a few reactions.

Keep giving to Mark Kelly. He’s taking on Martha McSally. She was handed this senate seat by her Governor after she lost her Senate race. Mark will make a great Senator! https://t.co/zIxqnlQsw4

Senate GOP is in full tilt. This is going to get ugly for them fast. McSally is toast in AZ – and it's clear she knows it. https://t.co/ORVXa5nJUg

McSally is understandably frustrated. She was the first Republican to lose to a Democrat for Senate in Arizona in 30 years and she's on pace to do it again — this time without an empty seat for the governor to place her in afterward https://t.co/6cf97pSP2F

1) McSally is a complete fool for answering legitimate question like this. Key voters she needs this November in order not to lose Arizona (again) won’t like this.

2) It’s hard to find a more fair, objective, non-partisan reporter than Manu Raju. https://t.co/JsmN31eNts
