Marjorie Greene Walks Out After MAJOR Meltdown

TYT Investigates
7 Feb 2024

MAGA Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene has a complete meltdown at a House Oversight Committee. MTG is angered by Reps. Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia asking her question about her ludicrous thoughts on gun laws and police brutality, and she cries about them being unfair to her and Donald Trump. MTG throws a fit and walks out of the hearing in embarrassment.

2) Democrat rushes from the hospital to go vote, causing Republicans to fail

3) Greene says there was a conspiracy by Democrats “hiding” members to “throw us off”

Senator Pete Wilson, Republican of California, provided a note of drama in a tension-filled evening in the Capitol as he left his hospital bed in order to cast his vote for President Reagan's 1986 budget.

Senator Wilson, 51 years old, who underwent an emergency appendectomy Wednesday, arrived at the Capitol this morning in an ambulance from Bethesda Naval Hospital in suburban Maryland.

He entered the Senate chamber in a wheelchair at 1:32 A.M. wearing a brown bathrobe and pajamas. Turning to his colleagues, he asked, ''What is the question?''

Senators who had been waiting nearly an hour for his arrival gave him a standing ovation as he raised his hand to seek recognition. He was called upon and voted ''Aye.''

Tension in the Senate chamber had been palpable as senators rambled on with rhetorical summations of the budget debate awaiting Mr. Wilson's arrival. Outside the chamber, on a second-floor balcony overlooking the north side of the Capitol, a knot of senators and staff broke into cheers of applause when the ambulance rolled up to the steps and a stretcher bearing Mr. Wilson was lifted outside.

''Way to go Pete,'' several colleagues hollered as Mr. Wilson, looking pale and drawn, as Mr. Wilson's stretcher was rolled up a ramp to a side entrance of the Capitol. Mr. Wilson was then transferred to a wheelchair with an intravenous tube hanging from the side and was taken to the Senate Republican cloakroom to await the final vote.

12 Congressmen Who Risked Their Health to Vote

A Democratic lawmaker from Texas left the hospital briefly to cast a crucial vote against the impeachment of the homeland security secretary.

Al Green surprised House members when he entered the chamber in a wheelchair while wearing hospital scrubs.

The 76-year-old's trip from the emergency room, where he was having abdominal surgery, proved decisive.

House Republicans ultimately failed to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas with the final tally at 216-214.

McClintock: “Instead of reading the room, I’d suggest that maybe she read the Constitution that she took an oath to support and defend.”

I suspect that emptygee has never read the Constitution, assuming she can even read.

The Matthew Lawrence Perna Act enacts several essential reforms, including:

Prohibition of Detention for Nonviolent Political Protesters: This bill bars the unjust detention of nonviolent political protesters and allows for civil action against any violations.

Matthew Perna can be seen in the video below in the red sweatshirt (video complied by @the_silentkoala)

We clearly have a different definition of nonviolent! #WhoElectsThesePeople
