(CNN)Drama on the House floor developed when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene confronted Reps. Jamie Raskin and Liz Cheney as the House was voting on the criminal contempt resolution against Steve Bannon.
The conversation with Greene devolved to "Jewish space lasers" and the Georgia Republican accusing Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, of not investigating the violence of Black Lives Matter protests.
Video of the House floor documents Greene approaching Raskin and Cheney. Greene waves her hands in the air, and at one point Cheney points her finger in the air back at Greene before turning her back. A row of seats separated the three for the majority of the time.
Cheney responded to Greene by saying she was a "joke" and referred to a previous Greene comment about Jewish space lasers, per source familiar with the interaction.
"I never said that!" Greene yelled back at Cheney. "You're done. You're a joke, Liz. Your party rejected you." As Greene walked away from the pair, she suggested: "Why don't you go investigate something that matters to the American people?"
After the altercation, Raskin told reporters, "She started screaming at Liz."
Raskin supplied more details after the fact, stating that Greene was asking him to investigate the violence surrounding Black Lives Matter protests.
"What she said to me was, 'When are you going to do your investigation of the violence surrounding Black Lives Matter?' And I said, 'Like with Kyle Rittenhouse who went and killed two Black Lives Matter protesters? I'm sure there will be an opportunity for us to get to that,'" Raskin said. "And then, you know, it degenerated it from there as you can imagine."
