CNN, Fox News rip into House Oversight lawmakers over Thursday night mayhem

CNN and Fox News personalities ripped into lawmakers on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee over Thursday night’s mayhem, where they traded insults and threw the committee into disorder that lasted nearly an hour.

The Thursday night hearing to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress spiraled into chaos as Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) went back and forth after Greene insulted Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) over wearing “fake eyelashes.”

Barbs were thrown around, with several members joining the brouhaha. Eventually, the 24-20 vote passed along party lines.

CNN anchor Kasie Hunt was dumbfounded after watching the highlights and asked a panel of analysts on CNN, “Who wants to take a whack at this?”

“I mean, these are people who are elected,” Hunt said on “CNN This Morning” as she facepalmed.

“Why are these people even acceptable, this is disgusting how they are behaving,” said Meghan Hays, a former aide to President Biden. “They have enough to attack each other on their views. They don’t need to attack each other on their eyelashes and their hair.”

It looks like more high school hijinks in Congress just like Mean Girls.
