Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has, throughout her two terms in office, not exactly been known for… stability. In an easy example, she loudly interrupted during the last “State of the Union” address given to Congress by President Joe Biden, yelling that the commander-in-chief was a “liar.” There’s older footage from before Greene’s stint in Congress of her following a survivor of a Florida school shooting on the streets in Washington, D.C.
And in an interview Sunday on Fox News, Greene found it within herself to accuse someone ELSE of having a “tantrum.”
In portions of the discussion earlier highlighted by Raw Story for other reasons, Greene called out Hunter Biden, a son to the current president and a consistent target of Republicans in Congress seemingly convinced of his supposedly extensive corruption. The younger Biden recently showed up — without advance notice — to a hearing of the House Oversight Committee, where Greene is a member. The panel eventually voted to recommend that Hunter be held in contempt for supposedly falling short of subpoena compliance because he wanted to testify publicly rather than behind closed doors.
“I was absolutely shocked that he decided to show up that day,” Greene said. “And he looked like a child pitching a temper tantrum when he finally got caught and was going to be in trouble.”
The House Judiciary Committee, led in this Congress by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), also backed a contempt push against Hunter Biden. During that committee’s proceedings last week, panel member Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) asked if the hearing was a “joke,” spotlighting the gap between what Jordan apparently wanted with Hunter and the Congressman’s own record of substantially failing to meet the demands of a Congressional subpoena. Jordan never cooperated to any substantial extent with the now defunct House committee that investigated the Capitol riot and circumstances leading to it. The panel shut down with the close of the last Congress.
