We'll start here:
A hot mic picked up State Sen. Devlin Robinson (R-Allegheny) calling a first responder from Pennsylvania Task Force 1 a "d*ck" during a committee meeting on Tuesday.

And some context from PoliticsPa:
Two Pennsylvania state lawmakers are in the hot seat after they were caught on a live microphone and on video making a disparaging remark about a Philadelphia Fire Department captain.
The Senate Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee, chaired by Sen. Doug Mastriano (R-Franklin), held a hearing in Coraopolis that focused on legislation introduced by Sen. Devlin Robinson (R-Allegheny). The proposal was to create a Pennsylvania Task Force Urban Search and Rescue team, based in Allegheny County, to assume primary coverage in the western part of the state.
And then:
As [Capt. Ken] Pagurek was walking to his seat, Robinson leaned over to Mastriano and made a disparaging remark about Pagurek. Mastriano, as seen on the video, could be seen laughing at the comment.
Doug can be heard laughing, too. Give a listen.
State Sen Robinson has issued an apology for calling the guy a dick:
