In a surprising turn of events during a hearing focused on U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, a chaotic conversation erupted between Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and two Democrats, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Dallas Rep. Jasmine Crockett. The incident occurred on Thursday night during the Republican-led House Oversight Committee's session.

The lawmakers had gathered to vote on whether to find U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt for refusing to release audio recordings between President Biden and special counsel Robert Hur. However, tensions rose when Rep. Crockett posed a question to Rep. Greene about the purpose of the hearing.

Rep. Greene responded by attacking Rep. Crockett's physical appearance, remarking that her "fake eyelashes" might be impairing her understanding of the matter at hand. This offensive remark sparked immediate uproar from the group of lawmakers present. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez interjected, expressing her dismay at Rep. Greene's comments and moved to have her words stricken from the record.

A back-and-forth exchange ensued between Rep. Greene and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez rebuking Rep. Greene and urging action against her offensive remarks. Rep. Greene, seemingly unapologetic, questioned whether Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's feelings were hurt. Undeterred, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez asserted that Rep. Greene's words would be addressed and removed from the record.

Moments later, another dispute arose regarding the appropriateness of comments made during the hearing. Rep. Crockett directed a question to the committee's chairman, Kentucky Rep. James Comer. In response, GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna urged Rep. Crockett to calm down. This prompted Rep. Crockett to defend herself, stating that she would not be silenced as others engage in disrespectful behavior.

Following these exchanges, a vote was taken within the panel to determine whether Rep. Greene should be expelled from the hearing. Ultimately, the Republican lawmakers voted in favor of allowing her to remain, and she refused multiple requests to apologize for her remarks.

The incident highlights the ongoing partisan tensions within Congress and the challenges faced by lawmakers in maintaining respectful discourse during official proceedings.
