Wearing a bright red MAGA hat on the floor of the U.S. House before President Joe Biden’s State of the Union, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), as expected, made a scene—and she broke the rules in the process.

According to official House rules, House buildings are considered official government resources. “Accordingly, as a general rule, they may not be used for the conduct of campaign or political activities,” the House rules say.

But Greene’s “Make America Great Again” hat could be construed as campaigning activities.

Greene, who has made a scene at every one of Biden’s State of the Union addresses, tried to have a direct conversation with Biden as the president entered the House chamber Thursday night. She could be seen telling Biden to “say her name,” an apparent reference to Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was allegedly murdered by an undocumented immigrant.

Biden didn’t take the bait, and Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) could be seen trying to box Greene out from getting too close to Biden.
