A committee hearing descended into chaos as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Marjorie Taylor Greene a 'baby girl' and the pair traded personal insults in a fiery debate. The fight broke out on Thursday night as the House Oversight Committee voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena.
Greene started the fight by making a snide personal comment about Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas, criticizing her 'fake eyelashes'. AOC then stepped in and the pair traded jibes before AOC said to Greene: 'Oh girl, baby girl... don't even play.'
Chairman James Comer desperately tried to maintain order, at one point even saying, 'I have two hearing aids, I'm very deaf,' in a plea to get everyone to stop shouting.
Over the years AOC and Greene have clashed many times with Greene previously accusing AOC of acting like a 'teenage girl', calling her a 'chicken', and labelling her a 'little communist'.

Just what we need- estrogen fueled bitchfests in Congress. Freakin circus of a rotten government we have.
Edit: actually after thinking about it, Rep. Boebert has had differences with MTG in the past, so maybe she chose to stay quiet and let MTG fight her own battle here. 3D Chess...
I’m picking the grey tabby.

Orange tabby’s or typically very people friendly cats, and chatty too. This one has orange tabby colors but they aren’t prominent, and also flat face like a persian, so I think it’s mixed.
The fight was about things said or done in another place at a different time.
There it is.
+1000
*grin*
Where’s ECW commentator Joey Styles when we need him? (”CAAAATTTT FIIIIGHTTT!!!”)
Nothing better than a good ole cat fight.
I love it. And there will be much, much more. The whining is the gravy. How can freepers not love this?
CNN Panel Floored By Marjorie Taylor Greene’s ‘Disgusting’ Insult Competition with Dems on House Floor: ‘These People Are Elected!’

There is such a dearth of honor and leadership in DC, this little brouhaha is a metaphor for it. And now we have a Congressman divorcing his wife to engage in games with Beth van Duyne, my former Congresswoman. Nothing is sacred anymore.
Beth, you are dead to me after voting for the $60 billion to Ukraine.
Bingo.
No debate. Pistols at ten yards.
No, in the world view nothing is sacred :( I have to remember our God is sovereign and is allowing this/these folks to be in power. Since we don’t think like Him, we cannot understand, but it’s going to be revealed one day and we’ll be like OOOHHH. So that’s why this was allowed to go on?!
I like MTG but she started this mess with the false eyelash comment. Not necessary.
Same. Decorum can taking a flying leap when we have ACTIVE COMMUNISTS in our Congress...
I’ve seen MTG’s workout videos... She’d tie AOC in a knot...
Compared to discourse in ages past? This was relatively tame.
In the 1800’s, variations on violating livestock and accusations of buggery were common insults...

More proof that the 19th amendment wasn’t such a good idea!
Offer AOC an apple slice but keep it just out of reach...
... $50 on MTG ...
