Marjorie Taylor Greene Hammered For Refusing To Stop Smashing Gavel At Hearing

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was hammered repeatedly by a Democratic congresswoman on Tuesday for the way she was using her gavel.

After a witness testified in a DOGE subcommittee hearing, the Georgia Republican said, “No one loves veterans more than President Trump.”

New Mexico Democrat Melanie Stansbury immediately objected, and pointed out that, according to the rules of parliamentary procedure, Greene had not been recognized to give a statement like that.

“Madam, it is not your time right now,” Stansbury said.

Greene declared, “I’m the chair of this committee,” and started banging the gavel while Stansbury kept noting, “That’s not how parliamentary procedure works.”

“Miss Stansbury, you’re not recognized,” Greene said, banging her gavel even more.

Stansbury told Greene she could “smash” the gavel all day, before mockingly suggesting that “We’re going to get you a Robert’s Rules of Order,” a noted manual for parliamentary procedure.

“Madam Chair, calm down. Let’s move on,” Stansbury added.

The video below pretty much nails the encounter.

Of course, people had thoughts about the incident ― it’s the internet, silly.

This isn’t the first time Greene has used her gavel against Stansbury.

Back in May, she slammed her gavel more than 50 times during a House subcommittee hearing focused on transgender women in sports, after Stansbury went over her allotted time.
