Controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) was rebuked by Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) for refusing to call Dr. Anthony Fauci by his title at this week’s committee hearing.
Greene is a vocal critic of Fauci, the former head of the Cdd, and began a controversial line of questioning during the House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing regarding the origins of Covid-19 and the federal response to the pandemic.
She angered her Democratic colleagues by frequently referring to the president’s chief medical adviser as “Mr.” and saying he was not a doctor.
“Do the American people deserve to be abused like that Mr. Fauci,” she asked Fauci. “Because you’re not a doctor, you’re Mr. Fauci in my few minutes.”
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) then chimed in to offer an objection to Greene’s remarks.

Congressman Jamie Raskin’s office is busy. It’s the summer interns’ first day, one staffer explains. Constituents and aides flutter in and out of the small lobby, somehow still spacious considering the generally cramped conditions the House’s quarters are renowned for. Everyone is watching the clock, everything is running a little behind schedule.
Raskin himself seems unfazed. The four-term Democratic representative from Maryland has seen it all before. When we sit down in the comparatively quiet sanctum of his office — which doubles as a central meeting room — he’s the picture of relaxation.

After having her body insulted during a House hearing earlier this month, controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) got her revenge on Monday by posting a flattering bikini shot to mark her 50th birthday.
“From being the first person to graduate college in my family, to carrying three babies in my womb and the absolute miracle of 3 childbirths, to raising my children and teaching them about God’s creation and man’s dangers, to running successful businesses and carrying the weight of the responsibility, being a member of Congress, running, cycling, swimming, competing, training, reading, always learning, creating, building, skiing, surfing, hiking, making mistakes, learning lessons, and most importantly God’s grace that I don’t deserve but am thankful for beyond words, my 50 years have been an incredible journey that I’m thrilled to be on,” Greene wrote in her post.

GOP Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) wrote in a social media post that the Biden Administration’s Justice Department tried to “assassinate” former President Donald Trump in a new social media post that shows an escalation in her use of radical language.
The post seems to have started with a statement Trump made on Truth Social, where he claimed without evidence that the Department of Justice “Authorized The FBI To Use Deadly (Lethal) Force” during the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago in August 2022. The search found scores of boxes of classified documents illegally stored at the residence.
Greene went with the former president’s baseless accusation.
“I made sure that he knew,” Greene wrote on X. “The Biden DOJ and FBI were planning to assassinate Pres Trump and gave the green light. Does everyone get it yet???!!!! What are Republicans going to do about it? I tried to oust our...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) and Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) got into a heated exchange at Thursday’s House Oversight meeting. The meeting focused on GOP efforts to hold U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress. Garland refuses to release audio recordings of President Joe Biden‘s interview with special counsel Robert Hur.
The conversation veered when Greene tried to connect Democrats to Judge Juan Merchan overseeing former President Donald Trump‘s hush-money trial. Greene also asked if any Democrats employed Merchan’s daughter, a specific attack that led to Trump’s gag order. Trump previously took to Truth Social to insult Merchan’s daughter, claiming she worked for “Crooked Joe Biden.”
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) jumped in on Greene’s rant. “Please tell me what that has to do with Merrick Garland?” Crockett questioned. “Do you know what we’re here for? You know we’re here about Ag Garland?...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has zero regrets about her heated exchange with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene during a House committee hearing last week, telling CNN that Greene’s insult about Crockett’s appearance was “absolutely” racist.
“Do you think her going after your eyelashes, that that, in itself, is racist?” State of the Union host Jake Tapper asked Crockett on Sunday.
“I think her specifically doing it to me, yes, that was the intent,” Crockett said. “Women wear makeup, we wear lashes, we wear all types of things to beautify ourselves.

“I’m not afraid to testify at all, I’m just not going to out of fear,” said James Austin Johnson ‘s Donald Trump from the hall of a Manhattan courthouse in the cold open tonight of the final show of SNL’s 49th season.
Set to pick up with the defense’s case on May 20, Trump’s hush money trial is never short of providing laughs as much as it is tears. However, while the courthouse was the backdrop, the focus of the beginning of tonight’s show was a potential Vice President. Sen, Tim Scott, played by Devon Walker, and dog-killing South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, portrayed by Heidi Gardner, both got a cameo, but there was only one true contender – at least according to Trump.
“And finally, my last and favorite choice is a man I can’t stop talking about in my rallies, It’s the late great Hannibal Lector,...

On Thursday, a hearing of the Congressional Oversight Committee descended into chaos after repeated outbursts from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). Tensions throughout the proceeding reached a tipping point in a heated exchange between Greene, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-n.Y.) after Greene made a comment attacking Crockett’s appearance.
The Republican-controlled committee had gathered to advance a resolution seeking to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress after a similar resolution had passed in the House Judiciary Committee earlier that day.

C-span coverage of Congress turned into a Jerry Springer-like spectacle of name-calling and insults on Thursday, as a verbal jab lobbed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-ga) triggered an extended period of outcry from several Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.
The purpose of the hearing was to consider whether to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt, a polarizing proposal that quickly made the proceedings raucous. But things got especially chaotic after Greene took a swipe at Rep. Jasmine Crockett over her “fake eyelashes.”
Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-ny) then stepped in to protest Greene’s remarks, telling her, “How dare you attack the physical appearance of another person.”
Greene responded, “Are your feelings hurt?”
“Oh, girl. Baby girl. Don’t even play,” Ocasio-Cortez responded.
Greene said that she would strike her words, but she declined to apologize.
For her part, Crockett got in a dig at Greene as...

President Joe Biden’s granddaughter, Naomi Biden, the daughter of Hunter Biden, confronted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) on Wednesday when she accused the lawmaker of spreading misinformation when her father appeared at a House hearing.
Hunter made an unexpected appearance at a House Oversight and Accountability Committee markup on Wednesday, where the committee proceeded to move forward with a resolution to hold him in contempt of Congress for when he allegedly defied a subpoena issued in December. Tensions flared upon Hunter’s presence, as he briefly remained in the room while Republicans and Democrats engaged in heated exchanges before he departed with his entourage while Greene was mid-speech.
This prompted Greene to later post on X, “Wow – Hunter Biden fled the scene when I started exposing the truth behind the Biden Crime Family. Too bad his daddy can’t save him this time. We have mountains of evidence of...

The Fox News chyron blared, “Tempers flare as Hunter Biden crashes contempt hearing.” But on Wednesday, the network was joined by the two other major news networks in focusing on the legal travails of the president’s son.
Biden unexpectedly made an appearance at the House Oversight Committee’s hearing on whether to hold him in contempt after he declined to show for a behind-closed-doors congressional deposition last month. Instead, Hunter Biden said that he was willing to testify in the open.
“What you are watching is pure congressional mayhem,” CNN anchor John Berman told viewers of the scene.
At the hearing, Republican members appeared to be taken off guard by Biden’s appearance.
As Biden sat in the gallery, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-Sc) said to him, “My first question is, Who bribed Hunter Biden to be here. My second question is, you are the epitome of white privilege.

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are facing scrutiny from House Democrats over the spread of rampant abortion misinformation on Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).
A pair of letters issued by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, obtained exclusively by Rolling Stone, demand that Musk’s and Zuckerberg’s platforms take “immediate action to combat the spread of abortion misinformation,” and request that the companies deliver briefings to Congress on the matter by December 14.
The letters’ signatories, led by Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), point out that alongside the continued onslaught of post-Roe v.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) says she will introduce articles of impeachment against D.C. District Attorney Matthew Graves, accusing him of “maliciously prosecuting at least 1000 people from Jan. 6,” and not “real criminals.”
“The time for weaponizing the Department of Justice needs to come to an end,” Greene said during a Wednesday House Oversight Committee hearing on rising crime rates within the nation’s capital.
“Because you refuse to prosecute real criminals — that are violating all the crimes here in Washington, D.C. — and you want to talk about D.

Congressman Robert Garcia (D-Cal.) criticized his Republican colleagues for treating Jan. 6 inmates held in pre-trial detention like “celebrities” during a congressional visit to the D.C. jail.
“The Republicans rushed to [the inmates] like they were celebrities, talking to them, patting them on the back,” Garcia said on MSNBC Friday afternoon.
The House Oversight Committee coordinated the visit. Republicans on the committee have long insisted that inmates held at the D.C. jail are detained in inhumane conditions. In October, inmates in the so-called “Patriot Ward” publicly requested a transfer to Guantanamo Bay Prison.
