MTG Takes on Jamie Raskin… Regrets It IMMEDIATELY!

In yet another heated congressional showdown, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) launched into a tirade filled with accusations, conspiracy theories, and performative outrage—only to be swiftly dismantled by Rep. Jamie Raskin. The exchange, which quickly went viral, highlighted the stark contrast between fact-based rebuttals and right-wing propaganda.

MTG’s Unhinged Rant on Ukraine, the Border, and “Misinformation”

MTG began her remarks by revisiting a long-debunked narrative about Ukraine’s supposed “Nazi problem,” citing old media reports and attempting to paint the Biden administration’s support for Ukraine as funding white supremacy. She argued that discussing this issue has somehow become “misinformation,” despite the fact that she was quoting outdated and misleading sources.

But that was just the beginning.

Greene quickly pivoted to another favorite GOP talking point: the southern border. She rattled off numbers about Chinese nationals crossing into the U.S., using fear-mongering tactics to suggest an invasion was taking place. Ignoring the reality that border security funding has been blocked by her own party, she accused Congress of prioritizing foreign aid over American safety.

Her rant culminated in a bizarre moment where she refused to yield for questions, snapping, “No, I will not yield to one of your stupid questions that are always attacking me and attacking President Trump.” It was a classic MTG meltdown—high on volume, low on substance.

Jamie Raskin Steps In and Wipes the Floor with MTG

Rep. Jamie Raskin wasn’t about to let Greene’s rhetoric go unchallenged. With his signature mix of wit and razor-sharp analysis, he calmly dismantled her claims.

On Ukraine:
Raskin pointed out that while Greene cherry-picked media reports from years ago, she conveniently ignored the broader context. Ukraine has spent years fighting against Russian aggression, and Putin’s claim of “denazification” was nothing more than a pretext for invasion.

On Trump’s Praise for Authoritarians:
Raskin then pulled out receipts, displaying Trump’s own words praising dictators like Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin. He quoted Trump calling Xi “brilliant,” “a very good man,” and someone with “The Brain, the whole thing.” Regarding Putin, Trump called his invasion of Ukraine “genius” and “pretty savvy.”

Raskin pointedly noted: “One of the ways that we lose to authoritarian states is if they can get their claws into our leaders—either through money, kompromat, or psychological manipulation.”

On COVID-19 and Republican Hypocrisy:
Greene’s next misstep came when she tried to rewrite history regarding the pandemic. She attacked former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo over his handling of nursing home patients while conveniently ignoring the Trump administration’s catastrophic response.

Raskin reminded everyone that Trump downplayed the virus, ignored public health measures, and pushed dangerous misinformation—costing hundreds of thousands of lives. He cited Trump’s infamous remarks:

“We have it totally under control.”
“One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
“I always wanted to play it down.”

And, of course, who could forget Trump suggesting injecting disinfectant as a possible treatment?

MTG’s Performative Outrage Falls Flat

While MTG tried to frame herself as the champion of “truth” against “misinformation,” her own record is riddled with conspiracy theories, from QAnon to false claims about the 2020 election. Raskin’s cool, fact-driven response made it clear: this was nothing more than another GOP stunt to deflect from Trump’s failures.

MTG might have thought she was scoring points, but by the end of the exchange, it was obvious—Jamie Raskin completely outclassed her.
