Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania for his remarks regarding her involvement in the chaos during a GOP Oversight Committee hearing. The committee convened to vote on holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for failing to provide the audio recording of former special counsel Robert Hur’s interview with President Joe Biden. However, both Republican and Democratic members engaged in heated arguments and exchanged insults on unrelated issues.

Fetterman posted a CNN headline that reads, “House committee meeting devolves into chaos as Greene and Ocasio-Cortez trade barbs” on X, suggesting that what occurred during the hearing was more dramatic than “The Jerry Springer Show.”

“In the past, I’ve described the U.S. House as The Jerry Springer Show. Today, I’m apologizing to The Jerry Springer Show,” Fetterman posted.

“I understand you likely would not have stood up for your colleague and seem to be confused about racism and misogyny being a ‘both sides’ issue,” Ocasio-Cortez retorted on X. “But I stand up to bullies, instead of becoming one. And to the women of Pennsylvania: I’d stand up for you too. Enjoy your Friday.”

During the hearing, Republican House Oversight Chair James Comer inquired if any other member would like to be acknowledged. In response, Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene raised a question regarding the employment of Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter by any of her Democratic colleagues. It is worth noting that Merchan is currently presiding over the trial of former President Donald Trump.

“Please tell me what that has to do with Merrick Garland,” Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett said.

Greene proceeded to address Democratic New York Representative Dan Goldman, who allegedly coached Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s key witness Michael Cohen for his cross-examination in Trump’s trial and happens to be a client of Merchan’s daughter. Crockett countered Greene’s comments by asking if she was aware of the purpose of the committee meeting.

“I don’t think you know what you’re here for,” Greene said, adding, “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”

Ocasio-Cortez joined in as Comer attempted to move on from the disorder.

“I do have a point of order! I would like to move to take down Mrs. Greene’s words. That is absolutely unacceptable. How dare you attack the physical appearance of another person! Move her words down!” Ocasio-Cortez shouted.

“Are your feelings hurt?” Greene asked.
