WATCH: Witness Humiliates Marjorie Taylor Greene For Spouting Lies During House Hearing

A former U.S. intelligence agent set Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) straight on the facts during a House hearing.

Dr. Mark Lowenthal was testifying when Greene remarked that American intelligence agencies could locate and arrest alleged military leaker Jake Teixeira but had been unable to determine the origins of the Covid-19 virus.

“So, the intelligence community is able to figure out immediately who was leaking classified information in a Discord chat, but yet still doesn’t want to say whether it came from the lab or didn’t come from the lab,” Greene said. “The intelligence communities seem to release or not release information based on how the information will affect the government that it seems to protect.”

Lowenthal replied, “May I respond to something else that you said in your comments, Ms. Greene? There is a vast, vast difference between tracking a leak on a social media site and determining the origins of this disease. And to compare the two is entirely fallacious, ma’am.”

Greene: “Dr. Lowenthal, you’ve said that you keep your intelligence claims and information nonpartisan. In 2018, Mr. Lowenthal, you were quoted in the New York Times saying that President Trump is the best president that Russia ever had. That sounds pretty political to me.”

That led Lowenthal to counter, “I was no longer an intelligence officer at the time, ma’am. I’m a private citizen.”

“Well, I think you have a difficult time keeping your political opinions out of your political [analysis],” Greene told Lowenthal.

In other words, Greene didn’t get the answers she wanted, so she tried to slag the witness. It’s the same playbook Republicans have been using for years.
