Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) spouted off a series of blistering personal attacks on MSNBC anchor Alicia Menendez, daughter of New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, for her comments about the GOP's efforts to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the overflow of migrants at the U.S. border, while on Trump ally Steve Bannon's "War Room" show on Tuesday.
This came after the show displayed a clip of Menendez saying, "The House GOP is set to vote on the measure again today and it's not because they suddenly found any high crimes or misdemeanors, which of course is the constitutional threshold for impeachment. It's because they think they have the votes," and bringing in Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) to say, "There's no crime, there's no misdemeanor, much less a high crime and misdemeanor."
None of that sat well with Greene, a key driver of the Mayorkas impeachment push.

"It's very simple for the very pathetically dumb girl on MSNBC," she said. "That's how it works in Congress, is you have to whip the votes and when you have enough votes, you can pass something on the House floor."
"That's how it's done in both parties and she's just so dumb and clueless," Greene added. "You could tell by the look in her eye that she had no idea. But she was reading the garbage that somebody put on the teleprompter in front of her."
Republicans have argued that Mayorkas has failed to enforce federal laws at the border, although their impeachment articles are vague about what laws they are accusing him of breaking or not enforcing. This also comes after Republicans, at Trump's direction, blocked a bipartisan Senate border security deal that would have given Mayorkas more robust tools to control the border.
