Watch the exchange between Sen. Pat Wiggins, D-Santa Rosa, and Robert Jones, pastor at Oak Park United Methodist Church, last Wednesday.

Wiggins interrupts Jones at roughly 1 minute and 45 seconds into the clip.

"There's a way to disagree without being disrepectful," Jones said. "As a public servant, particularly a lawmaker, there is a standard of ethics that they should be held to."

Wiggins, in a statement, she said "deeply regrets her comment and looks forward to apologizing to the pastor personally."
