Far-right Georgia Republican draws laughter after banging gavel and demanding order as Steve Scalise spoke

Democrats in the House chamber burst into raucous laughter when Marjorie Taylor Greene called for “decorum”.The far-right Georgia Republican, controversialist and conspiracy theorist was presiding over the House on Wednesday as Steve Scalise, the Republican majority leader, was speaking.

Scalise was discussing the debt ceiling standoff between House Republicans and the Biden White House.
He said: “We are in fact the only body in this town who has actually taken steps to address the debt ceiling and the spending problem in Washington.”

An unseen lawmaker yelled something. From the dais, Greene pounded her gavel and called for order.
Scalise asked: “I ask that the House be in order and there be some decorum on the other side.”
After a pause, Greene pounded her gavel and said: “The members are reminded to abide by decorum of the House.”
The chamber erupted in laughter and catcalls. Greene banged her gavel repeatedly. Eventually, Scalise returned to his remarks.


Greene has risen to power in Republican ranks by courting controversy and confrontation. She has voiced antisemitic conspiracy theories, called mass shootings false flag attacks and spoken at events staged by white supremacists.
In 2021, citing such behaviour, Democrats stripped Greene of committee assignments. Those assignments were restored after Republicans took the House last year.
In Joe Biden’s last two appearances in the House chamber for the State of the Union address, Greene has made headlines by standing to catcall, jeer and boo. Last year she and Lauren Boebert of Colorado that he was a “liar”.
Greene has harassed political opponents, including the New York Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and young gun control activists.
Just last week, Greene made headlines with an angry confrontation with Jamaal Bowman, a New York Democrat, then claiming being called a white supremacist was as bad as being called the N-word.

With a normal person, having peers openly laugh and ignore you would be a learning experience. In her case, she's too stupid to learn and probably fundraised off the event in some manner from people that are even dumber than her.

Democratic members of Congress better be careful with this woman. She has a direct line to the Gazpacho police.

Illiteracy, stupidity and ignorance all seem to be prerequisites for Republican representatives seeking election given the imbecility of the electorate.

[hallelujah]

Brilliant.

Cry the beloved country.
If domestically strong ad Internationalist American democracy fails who will find the defence of Ukraine or Taiwan , certainly not impoverished UK ANZACs nor a disunited EU with Orban leaning to Putin.

You would hope so , but the fact that someone so ignorant is chairing a meeting of Congress reveals a work in progress we can be fairly certain that folks stupid enough to vote her in will support Trump and his ilk. I thought Trump was an aberration and after the appalling January 6th riot he instigated he would be finished forever. We will see , surely the Republican party can do better , despite disagreeing with Romney he did seem to have a grasp of reality .Thosw who hate democratic values and respectful debate like XI and Putin must be hoping for a reTRUMPO

Coming from the woman who spoke of "jewish space lasers", I can't say I'm surprised.
