Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is responding to backlash to an explosive moment during a House hearing in which insults about “fake eyelashes” and “bleach blonde, bad built, butch” bodies were thrown about.
In a post on X on Friday morning, Greene wrote, “Some people are upset about the scene from Oversight Committee last night, well I’m upset and disgusted pretty much everyday at the Democrat controlled DOJ, federal government, and Congress in general.”
“The Democrat DOJ is weaponized against us. They want to put Pres Trump in jail the rest of his life which is a death sentence!” she continued. “They are throwing people in prison by the thousands for years for protesting the 2020 election but ignore their own paid criminal rioters.”
She also said Democrats voted to kill unborn babies up until the day of birth and they would march us all in front of a firing squad if they could.”
Greene went on:
“Congress has enslaved the American people in over $34 TRILLION in debt and that will be over $55 TRILLION in only 10 years. Washington DC only cares about funding and fighting foreign wars while fully and cowardly refusing to fight the war waged against the American people at our own southern border.”
Finally, Greene said, “Pardon me if I don’t talk as nicely as some people would like to hear. I’m not going to keep you all addicted to outrage and hopium that never solves a problem or stops the inevitable implosion of the United States of America.”
“I’m completely over it,” she added.
A House Oversight Committee hearing on Thursday night focused on holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt went off the rails when Greene insulted a Democrat’s “fake eyelashes,” leading out several minutes of members slinging insults at each other, as IJR reported.
