The GOP Oversight Committee hearing Thursday evening devolved into absolute chaos between a handful of Republican and Democratic representatives who argued over insults thrown across the aisle.
The Oversight Committee held a vote to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for failing to hand over the audio recording of former special counsel Robert Hur’s interview with President Joe Biden. Nearly an hour into the hearing Republican House Oversight Chair James Comer could be heard asking if any other member would be seeking recognition, to which Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene responded by asking if any Democrats on the committee were employing Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter.
“Please tell me what that has to do with Merrick Garland,” Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett stated.
