This despicable behavior by Michael Fanone is intolerable and needs to be addressed with proper consequences. Congress cannot allow this to happen or it's going to continue to happen.
And it's going to get worse.

This kind of contemptuous behavior in Congress is not common at all. It's actually very rare, especially in a formal congressional hearing.
Here's the reality in plain English. Congress has always had sharp words, sarcasm, and shouting matches, but explicit profanity directed at a member ("F you") and an obscene hand gesture during official proceedings are highly unusual.
Most heated moments stop at raised voices, gaveling down a speaker, or walking out. When someone crosses into outright vulgarity, it usually becomes a news event precisely because it's so uncommon.
When it does happen, it's more often caught off-mic, implied, or alleged, not overt and undeniable. Open, unmistakable gestures like flipping someone off are almost unheard of in hearings, which is why this incident stood out.
Historically, Congress relies heavily on decorum norms, not constant punishment, so behavior is usually self-policed before it reaches that level.
So your instinct is right: this is not normal congressional behavior, and that's why it drew attention.
