NBC News correspondent Andrea Mitchell was scolded for her 'manners' by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov after she shouted a question during his meeting with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
The exchange happened during a press conference in Moscow for Tillerson's first visit to Russia since he was appointed by president Donald Trump.
Video of the incident begins by showing Tillerson, Lavrov and other officials sitting down at a table at the start of the press conference.
Before anyone could be seated at the table, Mitchell started shouting: 'Mr. Secretary, the Russians don't believe the intelligence. How confident are you, Mr. Secretary—?'
But before the 70-year-old journalist could finish her sentence, Lavrov quickly interjected.
'Who was bringing you up?' Lavrov asked Mitchell in reference to how she was raised.
'Who was giving you your manners, you know?' he added while grinning.
The exchange comes as tensions between Russia and the U.S. escalate following Trump's missile strike in Syria last week.
This is also not her first incident with Tillerson, as a little over a month ago the veteran journalist was kicked out of a State Department press conference for repeatedly shouting questions at Tillerson.
Mitchell was escorted out of a meeting between Tillerson and the foreign minister for Ukraine on March 7 due to how she reportedly behaved during a press conference for the pair.
