A House Homeland Security Committee hearing went completely off the rails on Wednesday, all thanks to Marjorie Taylor Greene being unable to act like a professional adult capable of following rules. While questioning Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Greene accused him and the federal government of doing nothing to stop drugs from entering America, then interrupted him and yelled that he is a liar. This was against House rules, and after a brief discussion, Greene's words were stricken from the record and she was prohibited from speaking the rest of the Hearing. And that's just part of what happened, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

During a Homeland Security Committee hearing yesterday, Marjorie Taylor Green went so off the rails slandering, not just Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Maoris, but also Democratic representative Eric Swalwell, that her own party had to step in and strip her of her ability to speak for the remainder of the hearing. Now, it started off with Marjorie Taylor Green, accusing Eric Swalwell of having an affair with a Chinese spy. Um, in fact, she said quote, after swalwell criticized her, she said, you know, that was rich, uh, from someone that had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy. And everyone knows it as if she's, you know, a, a high school kid. Uh, for the record, no. Um, there is no evidence, there have been investigations. Swalwell did not give any information to any individual, like to know Chinese spy. There's not even any indication that they actually had a sexual relationship. So Marjorie Taylor Green, just, you know, going with that, uh, Republican favorite conspiracy theory there, and then things got even worse because then she got the chance to talk to Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas, and well, that's when things went really off the rails. Here's the video, This outrage, complete outrage where China is poisoning America's children, poisoning our teenagers, poisoning our young people. How long are you going to let this go on, Congresswoman? Let me assure you that we're not letting it go on. We are fighting this Script. No, I reclaimed my time. You're a liar. You are letting this go on. And the numbers, well, no, Obviously, actually, I want you to take the words, uh, of the speaker down. So in, uh, making a ruling on this, uh, it's pretty clear that the rules state you can't impugn someone's, uh, character. Uh, identifying or calling someone a liar is unacceptable on this committee. And I make the ruling that we strike those words. It's, sorry, just a point of order. Legitimate question. You're recognized or Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Did you move to take the words down or to strike them? Mr. Thompson? Yeah. Sorry, I just stepped in. Pointed. Yeah, Take them down. So that's what we did. Yeah, I'm, same thing. My understanding is if words are taken down, that means that the, the member can no longer speak in whatever the proceeding is that those words were said. I, Personal inquiry, point of personal inquiry, That's, there's not no such thing. Stand by just a second. Yeah, that's, that's not a thing. That thing that you want them to like per a point of personal inquiry, that's not a thing that exists. You are citing something that's not real much like everything else you've said in this hearing. Marjorie Taylor Green. Now, the back and forth between all of the people, you know, uh, there at the hearing went on for quite some time. Obviously, I don't wanna sit here and make you watch 10 minutes of cspan, but basically it ended with the acting chairman of the committee, Mark Green, a Republican agreeing that Marjorie Taylor Green's words did in fact impugn the character of Mayor Orcas.
