In a shocking development, Republican Senator Tom Cotton requested a glass of milk to drink at his desk late into the day.
Under the Senate rules, senators are only permitted to drink water or milk in the chamber, and senators have opted to request the former. However, on Wednesday afternoon, a Senate page delivered a glass of milk to Cotton, who appeared to be chewing a crunchy snack.
Cotton eventually received a second glass and grabbed a piece of Hershey's chocolate from his desk to go with it.
Republican Senator Richard Burr, who sits across from Cotton, joined his colleague in requesting a glass.
After news of Cotton's milk order circulated, an aide to Senator Ted Cruz told CBS News the Texas lawmaker enjoyed a glass of his own around midnight last night, which apparently went unnoticed by observers in the gallery.
