House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave an awkward signal for her Democrat colleagues to tame it down after announcing the first article of impeachment had passed.
No sooner than Pelosi slammed down her gavel and made the impeachment announcement, Democrats could be heard applauding, only to be silenced by Nancy as she quickly held up her hand up and glared at them.

“Nancy Pelosi had to shut down Democrat applause when the first article of impeachment passed,” Scalise said. “So much for Dems claiming impeachment is “solemn” for them. What a ridiculous lie!” Video Below
