CNN panelist Bakari Sellers got some on-air revenge against his conservative colleague Scott Jennings, after a testy touching incident between the two months earlier.

On CNN NewsNight Tuesday, Jennings patted Sellers on the back while calling him 'comrade' during a panel debate about the New York City mayoral election.

'Can you not touch me?! Can you not touch me?!' Sellers shouted, in reference to Jennings blowing up at Sellers back in December for placing his hand on the Republican's shoulder during a discussion about inflation.

'I was waiting on that! I was waiting on that!' a smirking Sellers said of getting his payback.

The moment served a rare reprieve from the pair's back-and-forth battles on air.

The December exchange saw GOP strategist Jennings and former Democratic member of the South Carolina House of Representatives Sellers getting much more heated.

During a debate about the rising price of groceries, Sellers touched Jennings on the shoulder - earning a swift response.

'What Scott was not accurate about - which kind of happens around the table sometimes...' Sellers said while tapping Jennings.

'Don't touch me,' Jennings shot back in a serious tone.

Sellers then jokingly rubbed his hand on Jennings' back, asking, 'I can't touch you now?'

'All right, everybody, keep your hands to yourselves at the table,' NewsNight host Abby Phillip told the panelists.
