Marge Gets Shut Down At Committee Hearing After She Breaks House Rules
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) looked like a buffoonish amateur during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Wednesday, which isn't unusual for the controversial Georgia Q-nut. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave Greene a spot on the powerful House Oversight Committee, but she clearly doesn't belong there.
Greene wouldn't let Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas respond to her remarks, and she ultimately called him "a liar," which is a no-no, according to the House rules.
"You're a liar. You are letting this go on (and) the numbers prove it. You can't lie about the fact, Secretary Mayorkas, while you live in denial and sit over there with this attitude that you're doing everything right ... you are killing Americans with your policies," she insisted.
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) asked for Greene's words to be "taken down" because they violated the House rules of decorum.
"We can disagree, but we've gotten to the point of the language that we're using is not the kind of language that historically we use as members of this committee," he said. "There's a way that we are to conduct ourselves, and what I'm hearing is not how a majority of this committee conducts business, and we can do better."
Still, when asked by Republican Rep. Mark Green if she would withdraw her statement, she declined.
