Last Friday in Washington there was evidence of why only 16% of the public approve of the job Congress is doing, according to a Gallup poll.
During a House Oversight Committee hearing on whether to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena, several House members resorted to schoolyard taunts and raucous name-calling. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) started it by claiming to Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) couldn’t see the resolution being discussed because “.... your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”
