VIDEO: Democrats just laughed at Marjorie Taylor Greene when she asked them to abide by decorum of the House

Democrats just laughed at Marjorie Taylor Greene when she asked them to abide by decorum of the House.

The fundraising auction of McCarthy’s used cherry lip balm ended when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) placed a winning $100,000 bid, as confirmed by her spokesperson. She only began bidding after the California Republican chose to sweeten the deal: He agreed to attend a dinner with the winner and whichever donors and supporters they planned to bring along. That cash is headed for the House GOP campaign arm.

McCarthy and Greene’s working relationship had a rocky start. When Greene first ran for Congress in 2020, McCarthy and other House Republican leaders endorsed her opponent and described her as an unserious candidate who did not reflect the GOP’s values. And after Greene arrived on Capitol Hill in 2021, McCarthy and other establishment Republicans quickly distanced themselves from her.

“I’m honored to be able to donate $100,000 to the [National Republican Congressional Committee] to help Republicans increase our majority in 2024 and defeat the Democrats. My constituents will be honored to host a visit with Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who we all think is doing a great job,” Greene said in a statement.

Politico reported that Greene began bidding on the chapstick after McCarthy agreed to have dinner with the winner and any donors or supporters they decided to bring. The $100,000 will go to the National Republican Campaign Committee.

The moment illustrates the strange reality that House Republicans find themselves in: With McCarthy and President Joe Biden still substantively far apart on a debt deal just days ahead of the Treasury Department’s projected deadline, they have little to do but defend the speaker and raise questions about the reliability of Treasury’s estimate. So far, they say they’re strongly united behind McCarthy.
