Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) attempted again on Wednesday to send the entire House of Representatives home without legislating. But unlike the two times she tried the legislative maneuver last week, she now appears to have ticked off a number of her GOP colleagues.
At about 9:30 in the morning — before the House could complete consideration of the For the People Act of 2021, a package of voting and election reforms, or the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021 — Greene made a motion to adjourn the House for the day.
The first-term representative said this was "in objection to the Democrats' radical agenda" and done "to let them think about the consequences of their actions."
The roll call vote on her unsuccessful motion wasted about an hour, disrupting the day's deliberations and committee hearings.
Last week, she used the same delay tactic twice to try to adjourn the House during consideration of LGBTQ rights legislation. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) scolded her at the time for "trying to get out of work early." Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-CA) noted that Greene's tactics had impeded a Committee on Foreign Relations markup session and a classified briefing.
Here we are again. The baby has gotten up on the buffet table and is crapping all over it and the gop does nothing to stop her.
The gop habit of putting forth candidates that have no platform, no interest in governing and are there only to disrupt and distract may finally be coming 'round to bite them in the ass. If, BIG IF, the democrats can manage to NOT fuck it up we might get some voting legislation health care stuff done.
