During a hearing on blue-state sanctuary policies for immigrants, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) berated New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) for allegedly smiling while the Congresswoman spoke about Laken Riley, a young woman who was murdered by an undocumented immigrant and whose death the Republicans have used to justify their cruelty to all immigrants.

Hochul responded that she wasn’t smiling as Greene paused her line of questioning to talk down to Hochul, “You look like you’ve got quite a smile on your face,” Greene said, as House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair Rep. James Comer (R-KY) banged his gavel and told her not to “attack the witness.”

Democrats have called the removal “cruel,” “unnecessary.” and “a waste of valuable time and resources.”

This angered Greene, who said it was “my time” and that she was “reclaiming her time.” Comer continued to tell her to stop attacking the witness, but Greene kept going

“Don’t you dare smile about the murder of Laken Riley,” Greene said.

“I’m thinking about her parents,” Hochul replied. “Don’t question how I look. My heart is breaking for her parents.”

“My time, Governor Hochul,” Greene retorted.

The hearing was wrought with tense exchanges between Republican representatives and the Democratic governors.
