For the second time in as many days, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) tried to adjourn the House to avoid a vote on the Equality Act.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Thursday, for the second time in as many days, tried to send the House home for the day in order to avoid a vote on the Equality Act — a landmark bill that bans discrimination based on gender identity or expression.

"The Equality Act is not about stopping discrimination. It's about causing discrimination against women and religious freedoms," Greene said — continuing to push her bigoted beliefs that she should be able to discriminate against transgender people and ban them from sports.

Greene's attempt to shut down the House's business failed by a vote of 219 to 199, with two Republicans joining every House Democrat in blocking her motion.

I would like to know why these people are on committees when they oversaw a vote to throw out the election and the means to do this shit, every last one of them should be censured and removed from these committees............this is outrageous, they shouldn't even be allowed to vote on any legislation since they do not support the election.......

5. The do nothing party. All they stand for is standing against any Dem idea

I guess we should be a little grateful they are so incompetent. Even when they had complete control the only thing they really “accomplished” were tax cuts for the wealthy. That’s bad enough but could have been worse.

6. "Go Home Greene" is her new nickname. It's her only move
