'It was embarrassing': Boebert and other GOPers distance themselves from MTG after outburst

Even the most far-right members of the House Republican Conference are condemning Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-Georgia) hijacking of a recent committee hearing.During a Thursday night meeting of the House Oversight Committee, members were debating legislation to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt when Greene suddenly insulted Rep. Jasmine Crockett's (D-Texas) "fake eyelashes." This resulted in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) coming to Crockett's defense, demanding that Greene's words be struck from the record and for the Georgia Republican to apologize. Crockett asked committee chair Rep. James Comer (R-Kentucky) if, hypothetically, she would be in the wrong for mentioning that a certain member of the committee had a "bleach blonde, bad built butch body."Crockett re'It will guarantee a conviction': Journalist says Trump is doomed if he takes witness stand

Former President Donald Trump may take the stand in his own defense next week during his criminal trial proceedings — likely against the advice of his lawyers. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's team of prosecutors are planning to rest their case against Trump after the defense's cross-examination of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen concludes next week. Trump's attorneys have not yet said if they would call any witnesses in the case, and Trump himself has not yet ruled out his own testimony.However, in a recent segment on MSNBC, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston, who has covered Trump for decades, said Trump testifying would be a gift to the prosecution.READ MORE: Dem wants probe into allegations of Congress members drinking during contempt hearing

House Oversight Republicans held a contempt of Congress hearing for Attorney General Merrick Garland while lawmakers allegedly were drinking alcohol and acting “pretty ugly” during Thursday night’s proceedings. Now, they are the ones accused of behavior “embarrassing to our institution” by Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who wants an investigation.“Members of the panel ultimately advanced a contempt of Congress resolution against Attorney General Merrick Garland on a party-line vote, but the far more striking takeaway was the personal attacks and theatrics lobbed between lawmakers in both parties — as Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) struggled unsuccessfully to gain control for more than an hour,” Politico reportedDebates chief says Biden 'did a spectacular job' getting Trump to agree to unfavorable terms

President Joe Biden's campaign pulled a fast one on former President Donald Trump's team, according to the co-founder and co-chair of the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD).In a recent interview with Politico, Frank J. Fahrenkopf Jr. — the former chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) who has helmed the CPD for several decades — insisted the CPD was still alive and well despite the two campaigns going around his organization to hold their debates. The CPD chief did a combination of pushing back against the Biden team's assertions that its scheduled September and October general election debates were held too late in the election season, and praise for Biden's reelection campaign for managing to get Trump to agree to terms that were not the mRepublicans prove their 'ultimate fealty' is to Trump, not the rule of law: columnist

This week, former President Donald Trump's criminal trial in Manhattan brought out over a dozen high-profile Republicans who both spoke in support of the ex-president and bashed the proceedings as illegitimate. One columnist is arguing that there's a dangerous undertone to those Republicans' posturing that should be discussed in-depth.In a Friday article for the New Republic, staff writer Greg Sargent observed that the slew of Republican elected officials who came to New York all subtly took the disturbing position "to make it unimpeachably clear that their primary fealty is to Donald Trump over the rule of law." Sargent also took issue with media reports that described Republicans' appearance at the trial as merely a show of solidarity to the presumptive Republican nomineeWhy Alito’s 'stop the steal' flag story just fell apart
