"Fake Eye Lashes" and a "Butch-Body" Comments Opens Up a Flood of Insults
A House Oversight Hearing Quickly Turns nto a Nightmare
A House Oversight Committee dissolved non-stop chaos for over an hour on Thursday.
It began when Marjorie Taylor Greene insulted Jasmine Crockett's Eyelashes. Later, Greene told Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez she is not "intelligent" enough to debate her.
The war of words broke out as the committee voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to hand over an audio recording of President Joe Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur.
Georgia Republican Rep. Greene asked if any Democrats on the panel were employing the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing Donald Trump's hush money trial in New York.
"Please tell me what that has to do with Merrick Garland," Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett asked, adding, "Do you know what we're here for?"
Greene responded: "I don't think you know what you're here for. I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you're reading."
Here is my timeline of the insulting events:
1. Republicans were late. A number of them were in New York at the Trump Criminal Trial.
2. The Oversight Hearing was moved from the Morning to 10 p.m. at night.
3. Democrats were grumpy about the Late hour.
4. Republicans wanted to vote quickly to hold the Attorney General In Contempt of Congress.
5. The issue: Republicans want the Audio Recording of President Joe Biden's deposition with special counsel Robert Hur.
6. Democrats, the Attorney General, and the Biden Administration say the written transcript is enough.
7. There were photos of Trump sleeping at his trial and pictures of the Republicans at the Trial instead of voting and working on Capitol Hill.
8. Greene, a Trump supporter, has NOT attended the trial. Maybe she was grumpy cause she was not invited on the field trip.
She began interrupting Democrats from the beginning of Jamie Raskin's opening statement. And it never really stopped. This is a Long video of the Hearing. But I still had to do heavy editing to get it to 8 minutes. There is a longer version on my YouTube Channel.
