Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) picked the wrong person to heckle during a House debate on citing former Trump administration officials Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino for contempt of Congress, and video of her getting verbally eviscerated has quickly gone viral on social media.
Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) was speaking in favor of holding Navarro and Scavino in contempt and referring them to the Justice Department for prosecution when Greene began shouting, The Independent reports:
As Mr. Raskin called on the House to hold them in contempt, he was heckled by the Georgia Congresswoman, who shouted “What about the Russia collusion?”
That was all it took for Raskin to shut Greene up by reminding her that she and her party are fond of defending anything related to Russia:
“The gentlelady I think said something about ‘the Russian hoax, or ‘Russian collusion.’ I accept the heckling, Mr. Speaker. That’s alright. Because if she wants to continue to stand with Vladimir Putin and his brutal, bloody invasion against the people of Ukraine, she is free to do so – and we understand there is a strong Trump/Putin axis in the gentlelady’s party.”
Raskin then added:
“If she wants to continue to stand with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin that is her prerogative.”
As one Twitter user noted after posting video of the Raskin-Greene confrontation:
“They’re gonna need a broom & dustpan to sweep up whatever’s left of Marjorie Taylor Greene after Jamie Raskin obliterated her.”
Others then joined the fun:
