5:13Now PlayingDuring a House hearing on Tuesday, Marjorie Taylor Greene completely lost her mind when a witness that she was questioning chuckled at one of her idiotic statements. Greene snapped at the witness and asked if "murdering" babies in the womb was funny, and the witness immediately snapped back by pointing out the countless murders we've seen from gun violence in America that Greene has done nothing about. Farron Cousins discusses this incident.

Marjorie Taylor Green became enraged this week during a hearing in the House of Representatives. It was a hearing with the Homeland Security Committee that was, uh, supposed to be examining left wing violence in the United States because, you know, that is the scourge, the bane of our existence is all that left wing violence happening out there as we have mass shooters who are self-reported, huge fans of conservative talkers. It's the, the left wingers that are really the threat. But during this hearing, Marjorie Taylor Greene, as she frequently does, decided to go off topic and completely off the rails. And when she did that, the individual that she was speaking to, the executive director of Integrity First for America, Amy Nik chuckled, kinda laughed at the stupid claims that Marjorie Taylor Green was making, and that sent Marjorie Taylor Greenway downward spiral of rage. Here's what happened.
Marjorie Taylor Green supposed to be talking about, you know, violent left wing extremism, but somebody had brought up white supremacist extremism. So Marjorie Taylor Green said, you want to talk about white supremacy? How about quote, 20 million black babies have been aborted in America since Roe versus Wade. Huh? So abortion is somehow white supremacy, and that's, you know, a left wing thing. So there you go, left wingers according to Marjorie Taylor Green, because they apparently aborted 20 million black babies are somehow the actual right supremacists. So Nik rightfully laughed. I would laugh. That is a very stupid thing to say and Marjorie Taylor Green responded, is this funny to you? Is babies being murdered in the womb? Funny to you because you are smirking and laughing at me right now.
S spit immediately gathered her composure, wasn't laughing anymore, and fired back against Marjorie Taylor Green saying quote, what's not funny are the black people and Hispanic people and Jewish people and Muslim people who have been murdered in synagogues, in churches, in supermarkets, in mosques by white supremacists. So she immediately turned it back around, knocked Marjorie Taylor Green on her behind, figuratively. So green then responded, are you aware that all color people are murdered? That is a fact that every single color person has been murdered. That's not unusual. It's not just for the people of color are murdered, white people are murdered too. So let me get the straight Marjorie, you're sitting there saying that, hey, mass shootings are equal opportunity murders because it's not just targeting black people or just targeting Jewish or Muslim people, even though there actually have been specific mass shooters that have only actually targeted those specific races and religions. So yes, that is a thing that happens.
Um, as far as we know, there's never been a specific mass shooter that said, I'm only going to target white people. So your claim is already wrong, but your claim also contradicts the claim that started this all that well abortions killed 20 million black babies. Okay, well, using your own logic against you there, Marjorie, do you know that white babies have been aborted too? Do you know that Muslim babies have been aborted? Do you know that Jewish babies have been aborted uhoh? You didn't think of that, did you? No. You kind of just had your knee jerk stupid reaction and then ended up actually contradicting the whole point that you tried to make in the first place because you got so flustered, because Paton Nick was able to knock you on your butt with facts.
As to the whole thing about left-wing violence, as I said, listen, left wing violence, does it exist Absolutely violence. I in any political party on all political spectrums exists. But what has homeland security and the FBI and the CIA repeatedly told us for, actually since 2006 was the first time they declared this. The biggest threat to Americans here on our own soil is the threat of violent right wing, white nationalist extremists. They've never mentioned left-wingers. Sorry, that's just not a thing that happened. So not only are you wrong in your argument, you're wrong with your numbers, you're wrong with your logic.
