Echoing the joke of a trial in a Manhattan courtroom, yesterday in D.C. this happened in the United States Congress. I donât really know how to react; maybe laugh and cry at the same time. The Hill ran the widely-reported story under its headline, âChaos erupts in hearing as Greene, Ocasio-Cortez clash over âfake eyelashesâ jibe at Crockett.â
CLIP: titillating but mortifying MTG vs AOC verbal dustup (0:55).
They temporarily suspended the session to calm things down. The Congressmen were there to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt, for refusing to provide documents requested by committees. They ultimately did find Garland in contempt, but only along party lines, which might be what convinced Congresswoman Greene the hearing was a joke.
After Greene offered some remark about Judge Merchanâs daughterâs political connections and the judgeâs obvious conflict, first-termer Jasmine Crockett (D-Tx) demanded, âplease tell me what that has to do with Merrick Garland?â When Greene ignored her, Jasmine pressed the point, sarcastically sniping, âdo you even know what weâre here for?â
âI donât think you know what youâre here for,â Greene spicily responded. âI think your fake eyelashes are messing up what youâre reading.â According to the Hill, Greeneâs eyelash exegesis instantly provoked outraged mayhem amongst the democrats on the committee, with Representative Cortez leading the charge.
âThat is absolutely unacceptable!â Cortez shouted. âHow dare you attack the physical appearance of another person... move her words down,â the hot hispanic demanded.
"Are your feelings hurt?" Greene innocently drawled in her Georgia accent.
"Oh girl, baby girl!" Ocasio-Cortez shot back. "Donât even play!" Which I believe was an ethnic turn of phrase of some kind. Or itâs something kids say. I donât know, I canât do the dialect.
The Hill hosted a slightly longer video version that was even more mortifying, or entertaining, depending on the degree of humor with which you view the controlled demolition of Western civilization. The generous view is that the catfight reflects the general high emotions and the political discord between the parties in Congress and the Nation.
Or like I said, it was solar flare-induced hysteria.
