(CNN) Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib approached two of her fiercest GOP critics on the House floor Wednesday, an eye-catching moment amid a tense debate between the two parties over Tlaib’s recent comments about the Holocaust.
In the unexpected encounter, Tlaib walked up to Rep. Liz Cheney, the No. 3 Republican in the House, and GOP Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York, during a vote series.
Tlaib, a Michigan Democrat, shook their hands and then engaged in a conversation for more than five minutes, as the trio stood in the middle of the chamber with members busying about all around them. While their discussion could not be heard, the encounter could be seen by reporters watching the floor and it was picked up on a video feed.
