https://thehill.com/homenews/house/...ene-clashes-with-cheney-raskin-on-house-floorGreene first pressed Raskin — who led the Democrats’ prosecution of Trump during his impeachment trial after the Jan. 6 attack — asking him when he would investigate the violence surrounding the Black Lives Matter protests, according to Raskin.
“Like with Kyle Rittenhouse who went and killed two Black Lives Matter protesters?” Raskin replied to her. “I'm sure there will be an opportunity for us to get to that.”
“This is a joke,” Greene said, her voice rising, referring to the Jan. 6 investigation and the Bannon contempt vote. “Why don’t you investigate something people actually care about?”
Cheney shot back that Greene was “a joke” and that she should be focusing on Jewish space lasers, a reference to a conspiracy theory Greene previously had promoted on Facebook blaming “space lasers” controlled by a powerful Jewish family for starting wildfires in California.
the notion she's pushing–that most americans "don't care" about the insurrection/attempted coup–is enormously disrespectful to the majority of americans who witnessed what went down that day.
of course, she's just showboating to keep her name up there in front of trump's eyes.
