Raskin calls Greene House Oversight brawl ‘a failure of leadership’
The Hill ^ | 05/18/2024 | Tara Suter

Posted on 05/18/2024 11:00:34 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

House Oversight and Accountability Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (R-Md.) called the recent verbal battle in his committee sparked by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) words “a failure of leadership.”

“So, this was a failure of leadership,” Raskin said on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront” Friday. “When the chairman of the committee declined simply to rule her words out of order, and to have them taken down, as [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.)] immediately moved to do, when he refused to do that, at that point, it unleashed the chaos in the committee.”

He could be labeled a buffoon as well, as a result, of course I do not listen to him. 🙂

Complete, total, shameful inability to use the power granted by the people to benefit the nation.

Smackdown coming.

This is why both chambers of Congress instituted rules that members must address the Chair and not each other.

I admire MTG who stands up against these communist pukes who make a mockery of this nation every day. Shame that you don’t feel the same way. There is no decorum in Congress, and neither should be. We are in a fight for the soul of this this nation, and we are not winning by the GOPe rules of engagement with the enemies of this nation. Even more of a shame that you apparently do not see that either.

Extremely embarrassing. I know guys get into shouting matches, but it’s due to passion of the issue. Men don’t go low and fight about looks. The women better grow up or eventually they’ll be replaced with someone more able to control themselves.

MTG scares the crap out of little communist Raskin because she speaks truth and calls out Commie Lies.

The problem was MTG had no clue what the committee meeting was about. She thought it was a whole other issue. I think she lashed out because she was embarrassed for being wrong and confusing what meeting it was. I can see how she’d want to hide under the desk. Instead she changed the subject to eyelashes.

High schools to Congress - things are bad under Joe Biden.

He raised two drug addicts and has a dog that has bitten 24 times.

I think MTG had a senior moment and got embarrassed by it. She was totally confused as to what the meeting was about. I’m sure it happens with the many meeting they have daily.

I like how MTG provokes Crockett and AOC. Shows them no respect. Brings out their ghetto low class behavior. Commenting on Crockett’s Fake eye lashes was perfect. Then she sits back and lets them rant. Classic.

I guess Raskin wasn’t referring to all his commie buddies on his side of the aisle.

What? You made that up, come on.

You certainly don’t know that. Many of the big mouths on capitol hill go on rants on Committee with nothing to do with the issue on hand. MTG was just like 100s of other dems and repubs who do so.

I actually would prefer that, then to behave like good little boys & girls as the communist Democrats undermine this nation at every turn. When we were both for America, and the Democrat scam was to pretend that they were for the little man, it was perhaps proper. But every other parliamentary form of government get down in the weeds with their opponents.

The Democrats are trying t destroy this nation, and they have no problem with making the Republicans look foolish, such as the stunt that Nancy Pelosi did when she ripped up Donald Trump's state of the Union address on TV in full view. Like they did with the kangaroo court for the J6 commission, that is now being used as the justification for using lawfare on not only Trump but trump supporters.

Quit worrying over optics, because the Republican base is looking for action, and the correct action is one that employs smash mouth against these communists to shoe we mean business.

Hoe many times when not on the Congressional floor have the Democrats advocated using smash mouth tactics against conservatives. Heck, they even let Democrat Shannon Brandt posted $50,000 bond after he fatally striking Cayler Ellingson with his vehicle following 'political argument,' police records show. He was finally convicted, but then this happened in Montana. Had it happened in a solid blue state like California, they probably would have given him a heroes welcome after releasing him on PR.
