House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) slammed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) as totally out of control and called out House Republicans for allowing her to represent them.
The extreme MAGA Republicans are showing the American people who they are, Jeffries said at this weekly press conference on Thursday. Theyre not even trying to hide their extremism. And Exhibit A is Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Shes totally out of control. But they dont care, he continued. The leadership apparently supports Marjorie Taylor Greene. The rank-and-file Republicans apparently support Marjorie Taylor Greene. Shes allowed to lie. Shes allowed to debase the institution. Apparently, Marjorie Taylor Greene is even allowed to elevate someone who appears to have engaged in espionage and treason against the United States of America.
And it doesnt matter. Because Marjorie Taylor Greene is the face of this version of the House Republican conference, he added.
