Angry Republicans demanded Tuesday that Williams, a Democrat, apologize on the floor of the House for allegedly making mischievous facial gestures behind the back of a Republican lawmaker who was making a serious speech on the floor during a rhetorical dispute over how best to give health care subsidies to small employers.

“It was acting like a child. We don’t appreciate that. We do serious work here,” House Republican Deputy Leader Mike Armstrong of Wenatchee said of Williams. “If it was an isolated incident, it would be different.”
