Here's What Happened When Marjorie Taylor Greene and Liz Cheney Met on the House Floor

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), tangled with two members of the Jan.6 committee on the House floor Thursday, getting into an impromptu shouting match over Black Lives Matter and a wild conspiracy theory about Jewish space lasers starting California wildfires.

Greene, a top Trump loyalist, crossed the aisle and approached Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) as voting began on a resolution holding a former adviser of former President Trump, Stephen Bannon, in contempt for defying panel subpoenas.

Greene first pressed Raskin — who led the Democrats’ prosecution of Trump during his impeachment trial after the Jan. 6 attack — asking him when he would investigate the violence surrounding the Black Lives Matter protests, according to Raskin.

[…]

“This is a joke,” Greene said, her voice rising, referring to the Jan. 6 investigation and the Bannon contempt vote. “Why don’t you investigate something people actually care about?”

Cheney shot back that Greene was “a joke” and that she should be focusing on Jewish space lasers, a reference to a conspiracy theory Greene previously had promoted on Facebook blaming “space lasers” controlled by a powerful Jewish family for starting wildfires in California.

“I never said that! You’re done. You’re a joke!” Greene yelled at Cheney, according to CNN. "Why don’t you go investigate something that matters to the American people?”

Girl fight!!!!! Liz knows plenty about being a joke. So, it appears that the long knives are out for any Trump supported candidate and the 'rino cabal' is donating money to the rino loyalists or dem opposition. YUGELY! "Ricky we've got your number!"

Just be sure to avoid Liz if she happens to be carrying a 12 gauge.

MTG is not doing much to expose the election steal in Georgia. Oh well.

Democrat party has been taken over by Communists.

Republican party is trying to survive with conservatives, milquetoast corrupted members, and assistant Democrats.

The people who aren't power players or independently wealthy are screwed, as usual.

Nope! Only the power players have a chance. The independently wealthy are also in the crosshairs.

I have seen the laser theory, but I never saw anyone connect it with Jewish origins. The left loves to tell half truths if they tell any truth at all.

MTG is doing here JOB.

It not her job to do the State of GA’s job for them

How about we stop manufacturing fraudulent excuses to snipe our own in the back?

How about the Whine All The Time choir of Freepers ONE TIME fight the Leftist on anything instead of always being PR bots for the Democrats?

I highly doubt that Black Lives Matter is any higher on the average person's "give a sh*t list" than the January 6th hearings or the Bannon subpoena are.

The people who lost their businesses might disagree with you, along with their friends and families.

YouTube allowed the viral video because they mistook it for a re-run of the Girl Scout bar fight in Airplane! just before Stayin’ Alive is played on the juke box.

People don’t change.

I was sort of surprised Liz Cheney used brass knuckles but amused by the Marjorie Greene ploy of a short, razor sharp blade on a ring on her finger.

Yeah. That’s not working.

And MTG sure needs to stop calling for the impeachment of illegitimate Biden.

And no doubt there are people out there hanging on every word coming out of the January 6th committee and who really care if Steve Bannon is thrown in jail or not. But I was talking about the average person.
