House Republicans: Marjorie Taylor Greene and Jasmine Crockett’s fight is Congress’ latest teenage drama.

Slate  

Since basically the moment the 118th Congress was sworn in, in January 2023, it was pretty clear that this particular cameral gathering had barely a passing interest in passing laws. It’s hard to keep track of all the PG-13, Degrassi-style drama that has beset the House, so let’s go in reverse chron: The most explosive, highly replayed incident came from recast high school bully Marjorie Taylor Greene during a House Oversight Committee hearing on Friday. How dare you attack the physical appearance of another person” Marjorie Taylor Greene: “Why don’t you debate me?” AOC: “I think it’s gonna be self-evident” Marjorie… pic.twitter.com/vZ4mR6x7Iv — Jules Terpak May 17, 2024 Ah yes, the people’s House, the finest lawmaking institution in the land. Just one day before that, the Daily Mail reported that two other Republican House reps, Georgia’s Rich McCormick and Texas’ Beth Van Duyne, were having an intracaucus affair, evidently an open secret in Congress. One detail here contains a high school vibe that’s nearly too total to be believed: “One GOP member told DailyMail.com they had seen McCormick and the colleague ‘holding hands under the table’ at a weekly lunch.” On the same day that that romance was hard-launched, a clique of House Republicans turned up at the courthouse for Donald Trump’s hush money trial in Manhattan.
