Congress Suddenly Erupts Into Chaos Amid Hearing

Published May 17, 2024 at 12:04 AM EDT

Chaos reigned during a House Oversight Committee hearing on Thursday after Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked a Democratic lawmaker over her eyelashes.

The personal attack, which was directed at Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, was leveled while the committee considered a resolution to recommend that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland be found in contempt of Congress over defying a congressional subpoena.

[...]

Greene's comment prompted Chairman James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, to call for order.

New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez jumped in to defend Crockett, asking that Greene's comment be stricken from the record and calling it "absolutely unacceptable." Greene chimed back, "Are your feelings hurt? Aw."

This was taken when Barron was 9 according to Snopes, so he isn't the creepy one here. Also this was part of a photoshoot, so I doubt there was anything weird in mind when they posed for this. Obviously a very bad choice of pose in retrospect though

Sounds like Trump, but imma wait for media to report on this just to be sure it ain't AI. Have to be careful even before the age of disinfo comes so that one is ready :)
