Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday sparked a shouting match with a pair of Democratic lawmakers outside the Capitol, prompting one of them to scream that the far-right politician should practice the biblical principle of loving one’s neighbor,
videos show.
After the House
passed a bill codifying the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion rights case — a move made in response to the
Supreme Court ruling on
Texas’ anti-abortion law — the outspoken Republican heckled Democrats holding a celebratory press conference on their legislative victory.
“This is not women’s rights,” Greene (R-Ga.) shouted on the Capitol steps.
“You’re so performative,” scoffed Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.), according to
video posted on Twitter.
After exchanging more words, Greene declared, “You should all be ashamed!” before storming down the steps away from the group of Democrats who gathered outside the Capitol.
Seconds later, a fuming Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) yelled down the steps at Greene to “practice the basic thing you’re taught in church: Respect your neighbor.”
