Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Marjorie Taylor Greene had a heated verbal exchange during a House committee hearing that was originally convened to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt. Greene made comments attacking the physical appearance of Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas. Ocasio-Cortez objected to Greene's comments as unacceptable and moved for her words to be "taken down." Greene refused to apologize. Crockett later criticized Greene on social media, saying Greene's "mentally deficient" behavior had no place in Congress.
