Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) exchanged words during a House hearing after Democrats accused her and Republicans of displaying pornography.
The back-and-forth originally stemmed from a hearing in July when the Georgia Republican accused first son Hunter Biden of engaging in sex trafficking and showed several sexually explicit photos allegedly gleaned from his infamous laptop.
Fearing a repeat, House Oversight Committee ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) sought to stop MTG from showing more of the same as she reached for an enlarged photo during a hearing late last week, The Western Journal reported.
“Mr. Chairman, our colleague from Georgia has introduced before pornographic exhibits and displayed things that are really not suitable for children who might be watching,” Raskin said.
“A bathing suit is not suitable, Mr. Raskin?” MTG fired back.
“Well, I’m saying, I would like the witness, I would like the member to be instructed to not introduce any pornography today, at least without running through the chair first,” Raskin continued.
“A bathing suit is not pornography, Mr. Raskin,” Greene answered contemptuously.
Raskin then said he couldn’t see what Greene was doing and added that her materials were not previously provided to Democrats. She responded: “It’s on the internet. It’s everywhere.”
That led to an intervention from AOC.
“You are submitting a naked woman’s body,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
“This is a bathing suit. It’s a bathing suit,” Greene admonished.
“And it has not been cleared before this committee,” Ocasio-Cortez riffed.
“You don’t have your glasses on. Do you wear them or not?” Greene fired back.
“I have contacts on, thank you,” Ocasio-Cortez said in response.
“Oh, congratulations,” Greene mockingly added, ending the exchange.

In a post on X with a video clip, Greene wrote: “Hunter Biden sexually exploited several women in violation of the Mann Act. Hunter told one of his victims that his father was VP and showed her a picture of Joe Biden with President Obama. Hunter’s victim was terrified. Why won’t Joe Biden’s DOJ respond to the inquiry into Hunter’s victim’s rights requested by @RepJamesComer and myself?”
In July, Greene ironically came under fire from one of Hunter Biden’s attorneys for allegedly committing ‘unethical’ behavior.
In a four-page letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics, Biden attorney Abbe Lowell said the Georgia Republican “lowered herself” by exposing the first son’s debased behavior that he also apparently believed was tax deductible during a House hearing last week.
During the hearing, Greene accused Hunter of violating the Mann Act by paying for the airline tickets of prostitutes and transporting them across state lines. He paid for the airfare using his company’s funds and then took the expenses off his taxes, according to reports.
That led Lowell to demand that she be “immediately” investigated. He added that her alleged “abhorrent behavior that blatantly violates House Ethics rules and standards of official conduct,” according to a Fox News report.
“Now more than ever, the House has a duty to make loud and clear that it does not endorse, condone, or agree with her outrageous, undignified conduct and brazen violations of the standards of official conduct that do not reflect creditably on the House of Representatives,” Lowell wrote, according to The Hill, which first reported the letter.
Fox News added:
Lowell’s request stems from Greene holding up several graphic photos from Hunter Biden’s laptop during a committee hearing Wednesday where IRS whistleblowers alleged misconduct in investigations into the Biden family.
The House Oversight Committee interviewed two IRS whistleblowers — Special Agent Joseph Ziegler, whose identity was revealed during the hearing, and his IRS supervisor Gary Shapley — who alleged political misconduct throughout the Hunter Biden investigation.
Shapley previously blew the whistle on alleged political influence surrounding prosecutorial decisions throughout the yearslong federal probe into President Biden’s son.
