A late-night House Oversight committee meeting spiraled into chaos as lawmakers clashed over holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt. The shouting match, involving Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Jasmine Crockett, drew criticism online, with many comparing it to *The Jerry Springer Show*.
Senator John Fetterman joined the critique, quipping on X (formerly Twitter), “I apologize to *The Jerry Springer Show* for the comparison.” His remark sparked backlash from AOC, who accused him of downplaying racism and misogyny, calling his behavior “bullying.”
The exchange highlighted tensions in Congress, with little progress made on substantive issues, leaving the spectacle as the evening’s lasting impression.
