On Friday, shortly after the House of Representatives passed the Women’s Health Protection Act as a response to the restrictive abortion law put in place by the Texas legislature, House Democrats gathered on the steps of the U.S. Capitol for a photo-op and news conference to discuss the issue of reproductive choice.
As they were speaking to the media, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) showed up and began heckling the gathering of Democrats, accusing them of being in favor of murder.
Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) looked at Greene and told her she was merely being “performative.” Greene (who probably has no idea what the word “performative” means, told Aguilar:
“No, you’re performative.”
Great comeback, Marjorie. For a five-year-old, maybe.
A few moments later, as Greene continued to babble like a psychopath, Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) let the Georgia congresswoman have it, telling her she needed to learn the basics of Christianity and “respect your neighbor.”
Greene hissed at Dingell:
“Try being a Christian …”
But again, Dingell was more than ready, firing back:
“You try being a Christian! And try treating your colleagues decently!”
Exactly. Greene is said to have been “gleeful” on the day of the Jan. 6 riots, according to Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY), who told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Thursday:
“I was there on the House floor, at that location with a bunch of Republicans who were — one in particular who was gleeful of the events transpiring outside. It took me a minute to understand why she was having such a good time. But I saw it. I saw it with her staff who caught up with her. They were excited about what was going on. They had been at the White House, I believe, the day before talking about what was going to happen.
“I don’t want to say but her initials were Marjorie Taylor Greene.”
Clearly, Greene wasn’t expecting the level of pushback she got from Democrats when she decided to try and interrupt their event. And, clearly, Greene has way too much time on her hands since her own party stripped her of any committee assignments for her disgusting, anti-Semitic comments and unhinged behavior.
The voters in Greene’s district need to replace her in the 2022 midterm election. Unless, that is, they like having the laughingstock of the entire Congress as their so-called representative.
