A late-night House Oversight markup for a resolution to hold Biden administration Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress evolved into a shouting match on Thursday, involving several representatives, including Ocasio-Cortez, Greene, and Crockett.

Fetterman, who has emerged as a top critic of his own party, likened the display in the House to “The Jerry Springer Show.”

Fetterman’s office told Fox News Digital in response to Ocasio-Cortez’s post, “John responded to an absurd screaming match of personal attacks in an unhinged House committee hearing.”
During the markup, Crockett asked Greene, “Do you know what we’re here for?”, which prompted the Georgia Republican to retort, “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”
Ocasio-Cortez immediately sought to have Greene’s response taken down, calling for a point of order and calling the remark “absolutely unacceptable.”
When Greene asked, “Are your feelings hurt?”, Ocasio-Cortez said, “Oh girl, baby girl! Don’t even play!”
