House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) shredded Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Thursday for her continued praise of and support for Pentagon leaker Jack Teixeira, noting that she’s “totally out of control” and the face of the Republican Party.
“The extreme MAGA Republicans are showing the American people who they are,” Jeffries said at his weekly press conference. They’re not even trying to hide their extremism. And Exhibit A is Marjorie Taylor Greene.”
“She’s totally out of control. But they don’t care,” he continued. “The leadership apparently supports Marjorie Taylor Greene. The rank-and-file Republicans apparently support Marjorie Taylor Greene. She’s allowed to lie. She’s allowed to debase the institution. Apparently, Marjorie Taylor Greene is even allowed to elevate someone who appears to have engaged in espionage and treason against the United States of America.”
“And it doesn’t matter. Because Marjorie Taylor Greene is the face of this version of the House Republican conference,” Jeffries added.
Greene is so out of control that the the top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) told her to be quiet when she verbally attacked Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas during a Wednesday hearing, which led to reports that some of her fellow GOP House members wanted her removed from the committee.
