Contentious partisan politics isn’t only for Americans; it’s happening in many countries around the world, including Mexico.
A video reportedly showing a heated exchange between Mexican senators is raising eyebrows. Members can be seen verbally arguing until one man puts his hand on another, resulting in full swings and pushes that were being deployed by several members.
Mexican Senate members were reportedly fighting over whether the U.S. should be used to help stem cartel activity.

Here is another angle that clearly shows these men weren’t holding back.

According to the AP: “Tempers flared in Mexico’s Senate Wednesday when PRI leader Alejandro ‘Alito’ Moreno Cárdenas and Senate President Gerardo Fernández Noroña of the Morena party shoved each other during a disagreement.
The clash began after Moreno said he wasn’t given the floor.”
The wild scene sparked plenty of speculation about why a Mexican official wouldn’t want help controlling ruthless Mexican cartels.
Tell me you work for the drug cartels without telling me you work for the drug cartels.

I’m guessing the ones in the $2000 dollar sharkskin suits are representing the cartel.

They don’t wanna get rid of Mexican cartels because then they would have no fucking money in the entire country at all. It would become a Third World country even worse.

The cartels are not going to be happy that their politicians are fighting.

Of course, X users also brought jokes, and some even wished they saw similar passion in the U.S. Senate.

We need this on our Senate floor. At least we would be entertained by them not accomplishing anything.

At least they are passionate unlike our Congress who are perpetually on vacation.

That’s one way of looking at it.
