Margie Traitor Greene Silenced For Once

"The Republican-led House Committee on Homeland Security on Wednesday struck comments from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and ended her time to speak after she called Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas a liar.

The committee first declined to strike comments from Greene, who spoke after Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., at a hearing on budget requests from the Department of Homeland Security. Greene started her comments by accusing Swalwell of having an affair “with a Chinese spy.”

What a disgusting piece of crap. smh

Performing for the MAGA's that don't know any better, as usual.

Opening sentence from the OP link.

I don’t keep up with Marjorie Taylor Greene’s tweets, having decided long ago that there were more pleasant and constructive uses of time, like lighting fire to my eyelashes.
Priceless.

What we didn't see in this video was Greene angrily storming out of the commitee room after her comments were struck by Chairman Mark Green R-TN.

I disagree with silencing anyone. Repubs are already weaponizing this tactic.

She violate committee rules and thus by the rules her comments were struck. MTG learned the rules apply to her too.

While I see your point, I've got to agree with Ricky on this. MTG violated the stated rules of decorum with regard to witnesses called to testify. She obviously thinks the rules don't apply to her and she got her just desserts. It's not like they taped her foul mouth shut with duct tape.

I read somewhere that she stormed off straight to speaker Kevin McCarthy's office and gave him a piece of her mind that she could ill afford.

Poor Kevin, she keeps his balls on a very short leash and yanks them at every turn.

Striking MTG's comments is not what I disagree with. I disagree with the committee ending her time to speak.
