A Republican senator reportedly got into a "shouting match" with White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller Thursday.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) confronted President Donald Trump's leading adviser during a Senate Republican meeting over funding for border security, and the pair got into a heated argument when the senator told Miller his numbers don't add up, reported Punchbowl News correspondent Andrew Desiderio.

Multiple GOP senators left the room frustrated," Desiderio reported.
“We’re fighting over an issue that unifies us," one GOP senator told Desiderio in a text. "Can’t wrap my head around it.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) tried to ease tensions with a rallying speech reminding the senators they had all campaigned on border security, so he urged them to carry through on their promise and deliver a win for the president.
"Republicans in disarray!" commented the reporter's X follower Davis Michael Wayne.
"The unlikeable quotient in a Stephen miller vs Ron Johnson contest breaks my brain," said X user dbr0675own1.
"if even ron johnson's calling out your math, you know it's bad," added X user Abdul Rahman. "gop's own house is crumbling over border bills now."
