Chaos reigned during a House Oversight Committee hearing on Thursday after Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked a Democratic lawmaker over her eyelashes.The personal attack, which was directed at Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, was leveled while the committee considered a resolution to recommend that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland be found in contempt of Congress over defying a congressional subpoena.
'Greene eventually agreed to have her comments stricken but told lawmakers that she would not 'apologize.' Under House rules regarding decorum during debates, members are not allowed to make comments directed at another lawmaker's 'personality.' Comer ruled that Greene's comments were 'un-decorous.'The exchange was not over, however, with Crockett taking a shot at Greene's appearance shortly after.
