While Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) told George Santos (R-NY) to have some dignity and resign, Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) showed up to try and bully Bowman, but then fled Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

Bowman harassed Santos while speaking to the media on the Capitol steps by telling him to have some dignity and to resign. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene rolled up, so Bowman told her the Republican Party was hanging by a thread and they had to oust Santos. Greene responded by arguing that Republicans must save America by impeaching Biden.
Greene began ranting about the Democrats losing migrant children, saying, “Let me tell you something, Jamaal, not very smart. You have to pay attention.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez came up to Bowman, patted him on the back and said, “She ain’t worth it, man.”
Bowman tried to have a talk with Greene about saving their party, because Rep. Bowman understands that the American system of governance needs two functioning political parties. Greene replied that the Republicans had to save America by impeaching President Biden. When Bowman brought up guns and saving children, Greene responded by talking about closing the border and about the Democrats losing migrant children, which was Trump, not Biden.
Rep. Greene isn’t worth it, but she’s been elevated by the Republican Party and that makes her dangerous.
The main reason America faces the catastrophic possibility of bankruptcy in a matter of weeks is that Republicans like Rep. Greene live in their own reality.
Republicans have gone beyond not being interested in governing but refusing to acknowledge facts. Without agreement on the facts, issues cannot be agreed upon and compromises will not be reached.
