The celebrity tabloid outlet TMZ has set up shop in Washington to cover Congress and they have already confronted two senators.

First, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): The outlet posted a video of Graham putting his hand over TMZ’s camera when he was asked about being spotted at Disney World during Congress’s recess. “Can I just ask you about the bubble wand, sir?” the TMZ staffer asked.

Second, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas): TMZ posted a clip of a producer asking Cruz to weigh in on the fight between President Trump and the pope. He wouldn’t take a side.
