Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's 7 wildest moments on Capitol Hill
Alia Shoaib
- Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene showed sexually explicit photos of Hunter Biden in Congress this week.
- It's not the first time the congresswoman has attracted controversy on Capitol Hill.
1. Showing nude photos of Hunter Biden
Greene showed explicit photos of Hunter Biden during a House Oversight Committee hearing, claiming they showed him having sex with sex workers.
The images clearly depict the president's son nude and engaging in sex, but they include black boxes to obscure his genitals and the faces of people other than him.
Despite criticisms from Democrats who said the images were "pornographic" and "irrelevant," Greene said she believed that "the American people deserve to see" them.
2. Calling Rep. Lauren Boebert a bitch on the House floor
Bubbling tensions between Greene and fellow GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert came to a head in June, with Greene calling Boebert a "little bitch" on the House floor.
Greene reportedly made the comment to Boebert in a center aisle as a House vote took place, with the two being captured mid-conversation on C-SPAN's cameras, per The Daily Beast.
This incident, along with other disagreements with fellow GOP members, led to her being removed from the House Freedom Caucus.
3. Heckling Biden and calling him a "liar"
Greene heckled President Joe Biden during his State of the Union address in February and called him a liar.
"You lie, you lie," Greene shouted from the back of the House chamber after he accused the GOP of wanting to cut Medicare and Social Security.
She also disrupted his 2022 address along with Boebert, who she was still on good terms with at the time, with the pair at one point chanting the Trump slogan "build the wall."
4. Chasing AOC down a hallway
Greene's antics on Capitol Hill have not been confined to the House floor.
She once pursued Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez down a hallway in Congress in 2021, accusing her of supporting "terrorists and antifa" and of "radical socialism."
Ocasio-Cortez ignored her, and Greene called her a "chicken" while reporters were present.
5. Getting into a shouting match with Rep. Jamaal Bowman
Greene got into a shouting match with Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman outside the Capitol in May.
The argument began over whether Rep. George Santos should be expelled but quickly turned into a confrontation about a range of unrelated topics.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ultimately intervened to try to defuse the situation, telling Bowman: "She ain't worth it, bro."
6. Confronting a Parkland shooting survivor
Before she became a congresswoman, Greene once waited outside the Capitol to confront and harass Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg shortly after the 2018 attack.
A video shows Greene calling Hogg a "coward" and bombarding him with questions about his views on gun control.
The pro-gun congresswoman previously appeared to promote a false conspiracy theory that the shooting was staged.
7. Hanging an anti-trans sign outside her office
Greene hung up an anti-trans sign outside her office in 2021 in response to Democratic Rep. Marie Newman hanging a transgender-rights flag outside her office to support her transgender daughter.
The sign read: "There are TWO genders: Male & Female. Trust The Science!"
