"Democratic Lawmaker's Response to Marjorie Taylor Greene's Amendment Sparks Controversy"
TL;DR Summary
Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed provocative amendments to the Ukraine aid bill, prompting Florida Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz to respond with his own satirical amendments. Experts criticized the use of legislative processes for such squabbling, with some calling it damaging to the House. The exchange between the two lawmakers reflects a trend of offering amendments for purely performative reasons, with historical examples cited. The quarrel spilled over from a previous hearing where Moskowitz called out Greene for her comments on Ukraine and Nazism, leading to a heated exchange between the two at the House Oversight hearing.
