During the hearing, trouble began when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) asked if any Democratic committee members employ the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over former President Donald Trumps criminal trial in New York. Merchans daughter works for a political consulting firm whose services Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) who sits on the committee has enlisted.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) asked Greene what relevance her question had. After some crosstalk, Greene commented about Crocketts fake eyelashes, which ignited the tinderbox and prompted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to demand Greenes words be taken down, or expunged from the record.
Comer ruled that Greenes words would not be taken down. Greene also attacked Ocasio-Cortez, calling her not intelligent.
Later, Crockett took a shot at Greene, disguised as a point of order about what constitutes a personal attack:
CROCKETT: Im just curious. To better understand your ruling, if someone on this committee then starts talking about somebodys bleached blonde, bad-built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?
