Marjorie Taylor Greene silenced in committee after accusing Mayorkas of lying

Democrats twice sought to strike remarks from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) during a Tuesday hearing, with the House Homeland Security Committee failing to reprimand her for accusing a colleague of an extramarital affair while agreeing to withdraw her comments accusing Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of being a liar. Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.) said Greene’s comments about Swalwell were clearly also an attack on his character.
