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.”

Unfortunately for those that only got to see or hear the edited replay of the cat fight on MSM news channels was the fact that they missed MTG’s question that set raskin & the squad off:
MTG: “How many of you democrats here have donated any money to judge merchan’s daughter’s democrat consulting firm?”
Ouch!
AOC vs MTG. Political equivalent of ledger wrestling..
Clown show the entire way.
No such thing as a brawl involving just one person
But democrats are entirely blameless
If jasmine Crockett really attended Rhodes and law school I’m not buying that she can’t debate or fight on a higher level than a fake eglash wearing middle school clique bit—
No sale
Did you see the eyelashes?
Yep
We thank you for the RINO pansy opinion. We will order extra pearls next time.
Some arguing before Congress brought the civility down.

We can always count on you for the weak middle of the road opinion.
Raskin’s cancer has gone to his brain.
I’m the grown up in the room. I always think, how would we act if the democrat asked a stupid question during another committee session? Let me tell you. You’d be jumping up and down saying how stupid and immature that was. Now that your bestie is involved, you feel like it’s just awesome. I refuse to be a hypocrite!
I didn’t actually think she was that old.
I love it when MTG calls out the democrats, she is fearless.
And who would know about being an embarrassment but Jamie Raskin.
It is always interesting that so many Republicans are fine with the constant slimy comments and actions from democrat reps but when a Republican rep hits back, OMG we cannot do that. The democrats have long ago ruined the tone of what goes on in Congress, so I say to hell with them — hit back even though weak Republicans don’t like it.

Yes one can tell the crotch fruit is bad before it matures.
His snarky little rant was what started the entire episode.
You have two choices as a Repub, win ugly or lose graciously. Sounds like you are a very gracious Repub.
She should have called out Crockett for false eye lashes, a lopsided boob job, and failed facial botox injections. Then she should have given her the address of a local Walmart and said body products like soap and deodorant were on sale.
