Why are MAGA Republicans struggling in recent House hearings?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
These Republicans were just getting schooled by Democrats, and whatever they were trying to do with these witnesses, was backfiring in their faces. Seriously, what is going on with these MAGA Republicans? What world are they living in? How embarrassing is this? You have like MAGA Republican Nancy Mace. She's questioning the mayor of Washington, D.C. The mayor of Washington, D.C., Mayor Bowser's trying to answer. Answer the question. And then Nancy Mace is like, actually, I'm reclaiming my time. You're you're asking the question, right? Don't you want an answer? Here, play this clip.
Unknown 0:38
Where is that, ma'am? Section three-seven oh three of the D C Code. Do you know what that means? No, you don't know what that means. So Chapter fourteen D of the D C Code establishes the commission.
Muriel Bowser 0:49
I'm happy to answer questions. Um Mr. Chairman, I'm going to
Unknown 0:52
reclaim my time. This is not her time, it's my time. You can be quiet as I ask you questions, and then you can answer them. And then you can answer. I'm not Mr. Chairman, this is my time, not hers. I'd like to reclaim my time. Let's make good use of the time,
Muriel Bowser 1:07
Mr.
Unknown 1:08
I'm making very good use of my time. And you're making my point.

What sparked Rep. Robert Garcia’s aggressive oversight agenda?

Ben Meiselas 1:12
And then you have MAGA Republican Nancy Mace say, What's a woman? Are you a woman? What's a woman? And Mayor Bowser's like, I'm a woman? Dude, there's something seriously wrong with Nancy Mace. Here, let's play this clip. So
Muriel Bowser 1:26
Mayor Bowser, what is a woman? I'm a woman. Are you a woman? A hundred percent. A hundred percent. I'm a woman. You're looking at one. Okay, good.
Ben Meiselas 1:35
You actually Uh then you have Marjorie Taylor Green at the committee hearing yesterday saying that Tyler Robinson was not MAGA, even though he was from a MAGA family. She goes, he was identified as a as a furry. He's an Antifa furry. What are you talking about? Why can't we just condemn violence? Say that this 22-year-old sicko. deserves to be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law, and we should start understanding why it is so frequently that it is these young white men from these religious backgrounds, gun-toting families, that continue to fall down this rabbit hole and engage in these horrific acts. Here, play this clip.
Marjorie Taylor Greene 2:20
Jimmy Kimmel was fired because he lied on on ABC about the identity of the of the man that Tyler Robinson that murdered, uh, assassinated, martyred Charlie Kirk. He lied and said he was MAGA. Tyler Robinson was not MAGA. Not one, not one bit. He was part of Antifa. He was in a relationship. He was in a relationship with someone who identified as furry and trans.

How is the new Democratic ranking member using subpoenas to target Trump allies?

Marjorie Taylor Greene 2:50
Um and and this this is this is an absurd lie. Um and so I moved a table to motion to subpoena.
Ben Meiselas 3:00
So Mr. Chair, since then Democrats fighting back, you have Democratic Congresswoman Stansberry, who I've said before, and I'll say it again, she deserves a lot more attention and credit than she often gets from corporate news. It's why I love showing you when she uh just calls out MAGA during these hearings here play this clip.
Unknown 3:24
Now I wanna turn to where the ranking member went at the beginning of this hearing and talk about the real crime wave here in DC. I think it's very demonstrable. And the data shows that the largest crime wave that we've had over the last nine months began on January twentieth. In the epicenter of that crime wave. One might call it a white collar or in this case an orange collar crime wave. is the White House. Because we have seen a slew of illegal firings that have resulted in millions of Americans being without vital programs, the withholding of millions of dollars of funds, violations of the Constitution, rule of law, separation of powers, due process rights, illegal arrests, illegal deportations, hundreds of lawsuits, grift that's resulted in billions of dollars in crypto schemes lining the pockets of the president and his family.
Unknown 4:20
family government contracts to his friends and an epic cover up of the largest known sex trafficking scandal in American history, with the director of the FBI lying under oath in this chamber just yesterday. And I just wanna say this that it is a felony under the US code to lie under oath in front of Congress.
