‘HOW DARE YOU!’ All Hell Breaks Loose in Committee Hearing as Marjorie Taylor Greene Brawls with AOC

The usually raucous House Oversight Committee managed to outdo itself on Thursday night, as members got personal with one another. The committee met to discuss a resolution to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena. That subpoena demanded he turn over the recorded deposition of President Joe Biden as questioned by former Special Counsel Robert Hur. Hur investigated Biden’s retention of classified documents from his time as a senator and vice president. Ultimately, the special counsel declined to prosecute Biden, stating that a jury would likely view him “as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. During the hearing, trouble began when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) asked if any Democratic committee members employ the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York. Merchan’s daughter works for a political consulting firm whose services Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) – who sits on the committee – has enlisted. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) asked Greene what relevance her question had. After some crosstalk, Greene commented about Crockett’s “fake eyelashes,” which ignited the tinderbox and prompted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to demand Chairman James Comer (R-KY) order Greene’s words be “taken down,” or expunged from the record Welcome to Mediaite, THE site for news and opinion on the intersection of media and politics.
