Two US Senators had a snowball fight outside the Capitol and it brightened Twitterati’s day

Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton had theirs. @JeffFlake (Senator Jeff Flake) and I are having our version:

A snowball duel. Capitol East Lawn.

Who gets hit most,

buys other’s staff Pizza.

You Snow Who Is Going To Win!

Arizona doesn’t have much snow!

And if that classic reference to senator’s duel was not enough, Jeff, the Republican senator also made reference to the recent threats of physical violence between Donald Trump and former vice-president Joe Biden.

It wasn’t exactly Hamilton-Burr, or even Trump-Biden, but it was a monumental battle. @CoryBooker’s drop & roll maneuver was legit. pic.twitter.com/kKWwYf239B

As the action unfolded, staffers and reporters around the Capitol too seemed to take notice of the epic battle and shared updates on social media with many commenting how this would be a lovely way to end the Trump-Biden war.

Booker got taken down but used his lower leverage to return fire. Appeared to be a draw. “Ain’t gonna be no rematch,” one said.
“Don’t want one,” the other replied. pic.twitter.com/PjBxA08BaX

THIS is the kind of bipartisanship America needs https://t.co/EG64pWG47G

We need a “tale of the tape” for the snowball duel.

Maybe this is how @JoeBiden and @realDonaldTrump should settle their beef. Thanks for the fun @CoryBooker and @JeffFlake! https://t.co/2rcZCFnnhd

Booker also shared videos of the duel on his Instagram story and later told Twitter users about his loss. However, he cried foul and jokingly wrote, “I should have known this was a setup… lost this morning’s snowball duel to a guy named Flake from Snowflake, Arizona!” He also said he would be sending vegan pizza!

With great ignominy I have to announce I lost the snowball fight 3 to 2.

I’m buying the pizza for his office . . . . I neglected to tell him though that I am definitely sending a vegan pizza or two. pic.twitter.com/iW3I19kmdt

Jeff shared photo of his staff enjoying the pizza and even gave a Game of Thrones reference saying Booker “always pays his debts”. Moreover, not all pizzas were vegan as he had teasingly announced.

.@CoryBooker always pays his debts. Thanks for pizza, even some non-vegan slices! #epicsnowballduel pic.twitter.com/POM7cdL9nB
