"Democrats twice sought to strike remarks from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) during a Tuesday hearing, with the House Homeland Security Committee failing to reprimand her for accusing a colleague of an extramarital affair while agreeing to withdraw her comments accusing Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of being a liar.
It was a rare instance of Republicans agreeing to block Greene from speaking, an action Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.) seemed to do unknowingly, appearing not to immediately realize a move to “take down” her comments versus striking them from the record terminates rights to speak in the hearing."
There's more as Margie retorts:
“I think silencing me was extremely unfair. And I think it showed weakness from Republicans on the committee.”
Then, there's the comments of the Republican chairman of the committee:
“Well, you just attack the problem. You don’t attack the person. Note that I said Mayorkas lied to Congress. I didn’t say Mayorkas was a liar. No one objected to me saying, ‘You gave false testimony.’ Or, ‘You lied,’ but they would object if I said, ‘You’re a liar.’ Because that’s attacking the person as opposed to what he did or said. So that’s the subtle difference,” he said.
That's a subtle difference?
Then, the interaction with Margie and the GOP chairman:
"According to reporting from CNN, sources close to Green said he privately reprimanded Greene and would contemplate asking Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to remove her from the panel if something similar happened again."
"But Greene dismissed that possibility, noting that she had spoken with McCarthy."
“Speaker McCarthy’s never going to let that happen,” she said, adding that “he agreed with me.”
"McCarthy’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment."
