ANALYSIS – Is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, R-Ga., otherwise known as MTG, a firebrand conservative who tells it how it is or is she a loudmouth who doesn't know when to shut up?
Well, as I have noted before, I think she is a bit of both.
I often agree with Greene, and she does bluntly say a lot of things that need to be said. Sometimes she just says really dumb things.
In this case, she called Joe Biden's secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a liar.
Or more accurately, yelled at him that he was a liar.
She also said Democrat Congressman Eric Swalwell, from California, had sex with a Chinese spy.
To be clear, I think Mayorkas is a liar and a disgrace to his post and to all Americans of Cuban heritage, such as myself. He is also a Biden puppet and a national security risk due to his actions and inactions at the border.
But sometimes it's not what you say that matters, it's how and where.
And in this case, the GOP-led House Homeland Security Committee may not have been the place, and ‘liar' may have been too blunt a term to be yelled at a cabinet secretary testifying before Congress.
She should probably save those truths for other venues. Or simply say “That isn't true.”
So, in a rare bipartisan act, the committee formally silenced Greene, ‘taking down' her comments and ending her line of questioning.
“It's pretty clear that the rules state you can't impugn someone's character. Identifying or calling someone a liar is unacceptable in this committee, and I make the ruling that we strike those words,” Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., said, according to NBC News.
And I can see his point.
But it's a fine line, especially since MTG's ‘liar' outburst followed a similar line of questioning by Chairman Green, where he less bluntly accused Mayorkas of lying to Congress about DHS maintaining operational control of the border.
“Not only have you lied under oath; you just admitted your own incompetence,” Green said in an earlier round of questioning where he referenced Team Biden's response to tackling cartels.
So it really is how you say it that makes the difference.
MTG's comments about Swalwell however, didn't get a Republican reprimand. And I'm glad they didn't.
Swalwell absolutely had a dangerous, long-term liaison with an attractive female, suspected communist Chinese spy – Christine Fang.
It was likely sexual in nature. And as I wrote earlier, several other Democrat politicians likely had sex with her too.
The FBI said they found no evidence Swalwell shared classified intelligence with her, but the Bureau never truly investigated the sexual relationship aspect before the spy fled back to China.
At the hearing, Swalwell showed a poster that depicted a defund-the-FBI campaign with Greene's face on it. Greene retorted by saying his criticism was rich coming “from someone that had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy, and everyone knows it.”
Democrats quickly moved to strike her words, arguing it violated House rules on making attacks based on personality, and MTG declined to withdraw them voluntarily.
However, in that case, Republican leaders declined as well.
Minutes later, Greene accused Mayorkas of failing to prevent the flow of fentanyl into the United States.
“Congresswoman, let me assure you that we're not letting it go on. We are fighting this,” Mayorkas responded. MTG then yelled: “You're a liar! You are letting this go on, and the numbers prove it!”
And she is right. Mayorkas is letting these deadly drugs into the U.S. by the truckload.
But that second outburst sealed the deal for Republican leaders against MTG during the hearing.
In his closing remarks, Chairman Green said, “We do need to dial the rhetoric down in the country and apparently in the committee.”
That's probably something we should all agree on.

If she said it, she meant it and I am behind her 1000%.We have a corrupt government at the moment. We’re fixing to find out, just how corrupt they are. The truth has to set us free.
They moved to strike the TRUTH from the record.
All BIDEN and his administrative cronies need impeachment fjb LETS GO BRANDON
It’s because of squishy people like you that America is where it is today. Stop cowering in the corner and stand strong for your beliefs. Be like MTG!
MTG was right.
Yes she was…We need more like her, in the Republican party..then maybe we would get something done!
Unfortunately there are way too many RINO’s in Congress which is why we can’t get anything done. The fake president is proof of that.
Calling a liar a liar should not be against the rules. She said exactly what everyone else believes but are too cowardly to admit.
Good for her we need more to call out all these lying politicians we the people need to know if these politicians judges lawyers and other are sneaking lying stealing and commenting Treason against American and the American People, we all know schumer,nadler, schiff, pelosi have done all of the above that has to change the need fired arrested prosecuted all assets ceased because most was stolen or illegally gotten
I watched some of the hearing and something needs to be done about all the lying the Democrats do and they are not called out on it !!!!! Sometimes it is every sentence that is a lye. It is very hard to set there and listen to it and know they will not be called out on it. I wonder how many TV’s get broken because someone distories their’s because they can not stand the lies they hear from it !!!
What a game of semantics. Chair Greene had just called Mayorkas a liar on
the smuggling of Fentanyl into our country. What hypocrites? Is there a different
standard for female than male legislators? Mayorkas should have been impeached long ago. Bravo MTG!
LIKE I HAVE SAID IN THE PAST THE REPUBLICAN WOMEN HAVE THE BALLS TO SAY IT LIKE IT IS ! NOW LETS CALL THEM WHAT THEY REALLY ARE THE NEW COMMUNIST PARTY WITH PREMIERE GO BRANDON !
The Truth stings and MTG knows it does, so I commend her for speaking out because I and many others are tired of the LIES AND MANY STUPID WAYS the Democrats are DESTROYING AMERICA and it’s time for more CONSERVATIVES TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE HORRORS THESE SOCIALIST WANNABEES ARE PUTTING IN PLACE!
ROFLMAO…and where are these supposed Repub leaders??? Always sucking up to the Demonrats and worthless to their constituents.
Did she tell the truth? She did! When one of our lawmakers have dealings with an enemy of our country then they need to be called out at every opportunity. We need more MTG’s making laws and standing for us.
If it’s good enough for God to call out a liar as a liar, it’s good enough for us! They call Republicans and Christian’s all kinds of names! Speak the truth and call them what they are! LIARS!
“Dial the Rhetoric DOWN!? I think not. I have watched with increasing alarm the inability of any person of decent values to make any kind of stand against the obvious immoral behavior and BS grandstanding by politicians who aren’t fit to lead this country. We are already on a downhill slide. Unless somebody starts holding these people accountable, we are going to see this country continue to slide quietly into irrelevant oblivion.
As for the Chinese spy floozie, I recall a Russian proverb: ‘When the Devil himself fails, he sends a woman.’ MTG is an avenging angel and I wish she represented me.
This is the same reason they don’t like Trump, because he tells it like it is and could less were the chips fall.
Good for you MTG, They are corrupt. Give them Hell, behind you 1000%.
The people of America need you.

It is possible to be both.
