Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) stormed out of a committee meeting on Tuesday as a Democratic lawmaker gave her a reminder about her own recent past during a hearing on crime in Washington, D.C.

Greene, a conspiracy theorist who spoke at a white nationalist event in 2022, went on a lengthy rant on everything from crime in the nations capital to gun rights to Donald Trump to Black Lives Matter and beyond.

That was a lot, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) said when she was done, then pointed out what he found ironic about Greene talking about crime in Washington, D.C.

She literally supported an insurrection and attack on the Capitol, Garcia said.

He said Greene coddled the insurrectionists when she visited them last year in jail , where she offered them handshakes and pats on the back and said they were political prisoners.

They actually tried to overthrow our government, Garcia reminded her.

That caused Greene who last month called Hunter Biden a coward for leaving a hearing when she was speaking about him to walk out of the hearing. She appeared to shout something as she left, but its not clear what she tried to say.

Shes insane, Garcia later wrote on X:

Garcia last year also lashed out at Greene over her support for those arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

The first thing she does is ... greets them and hugs them and prays with them and apologizes and is treating them like heroes, and Im sitting there going, this is disgusting, Garcia told MeidasTouch co-founder Ben Meiselas in autumn. These people attacked our government, they tried to overthrow our government.
