Comer criticizes ‘repeat offenders of breaking decorum’ during Congressional hearings

House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) on Thursday pinned the blame of last week’s raucous contempt hearing on a few “repeat offenders of breaking decorum” on Capitol Hill.

“It’s very unfortunate, it wasn’t the first time, I hope it’s the last time,” Comer quipped in an interview on CNN. “The members that have been constant repeat offensives of breaking decorum have all been called out and hopefully it won’t happen again.”

Nearly an hour of disorder unfolded during the contempt markup for Attorney General Merrick Garland when Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N. Y.) clashed after the Georgia Republican accused Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) of wearing “fake eyelashes.” Crockett then hit back at Greene, seemingly referring to her as “bleach blonde bad built butch body.”

“You’re not supposed to engage in personalities,” Comer said during his CNN appearance while explaining the incident. “And unfortunately, that’s what happened in the last committee hearing. Representative Greene’s words were struck [from the record], I think Representative Crockett said some very inappropriate things as well.”

The chaos of the Oversight hearing began after Greene asked if any Democrats on the panel were employing the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing former President Trump’s hush money trial in Manhattan. Republicans have repeatedly targeted Merchan’s daughter for working at a progressive digital agency.

“Please tell me what that has to do with Merrick Garland,” Crockett asked. “Do you know what we’re here for?”
