Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to disrupt the hearing
It wouldn’t be a mid-week congressional hearing without Marjorie Taylor Greene acting out in a desperate plea for attention. The Hunter Biden Twitter hearing was no exception. Greene interrupted a line of questioning directed at Roth explaining to lawmakers why Greene’s Twitter account was banned.
The Georgia representative tried to speak over the microphone saying she “would like to take a point of personal privilege,” since her name was directly mentioned. That request led to a rebuttal from Jamie Raskin before House Oversight Chair James Comer ultimately granted the point of privilege. Greene then addressed Roth, asking, “who made you in charge of what is true and what is not true?”

Lawmakers erupted in jeers with many annoyed that Greene appeared to be opening up a new line of questioning. Comer, clearly embarrassed, fumbled his way through a jumbled assortment of words before ultimately returning back to California representative Jimmy Gomez.
