SALT LAKE CITY –Over the decades… in the hallowed halls of Congress there’s been a few punches thrown. There was a beating with a cane. But in 235 years, there’s never been a catfight. Until Thursday night. You tell me if this is an episode of COPS, or a House Committee hearing at the Nation’s Capitol.
This is AOC vs MTG. In the left corner, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. In the right corner, Marjorie Taylor Greene
Let’s gets ready to debate contempt charges against the attorney general.
First punch, AOC, followed closely by a vicious counter from MTG.
Let’s watch the instant replay. MTG, going for the fake eyelashes, AOC, with a flurry of counterpunches.
This is supposed to be Congress. But you half expect Hulk Hogan to throw a chair. This goes on and on until the hapless Committee Chairman just gives up.
At least he could turn off his hearing aids.
In the end citizens, no votes were taken, nothing was accomplished. Except a couple of fringe politicians, left and right, will send out fund raising emails and they’re gonna get a ton of donations. And as any professional fighter will tell you… it’s all about the money.
