In a recent hearing from the House Oversight Committee, viral footage showcased a verbal sparring match between Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Democrat Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jasmine Crockett. The hearing was planned to focus on Attorney General Merrick Garland’s refusal to hand over recordings of President Joe Biden’s interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur. However, the conversation quickly turned when Greene brought up whether any Democrats on the committee were employing Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter, who is a Democratic operative with clients linked to former President Donald Trump’s legal issues.
This dig from Greene prompted strong reactions from Ocasio-Cortez and Crockett, with AOC criticizing Greene for attacking the physical appearance of another person. Greene later challenged AOC to a debate, which AOC declined, citing a lack of intelligence on Greene’s part. The committee eventually voted to send a contempt of Congress resolution to the full House.
