The Republican clown-car caucus is undermining itself
By Eugene Robinson Columnist
Already, it is safe to say that the brand-new House Republican majority is off to an awful, abysmal, amateurish and appalling start. And those are just the applicable adjectives that begin with the letter A.

House briefing on China spy balloon turns tense with Greene comments: ‘I chewed them out’
“I had to wait in line the whole time. I was I think the second to last person, and I chewed them out just like the American people would’ve,” Greene told The Hill. “I tore ‘em to pieces.”
One lawmaker who attended the briefing said the exchange between Greene and the officials included profanities.
“When she got to ask questions,” the lawmaker recalled, “she was yelling out saying ‘bullshit,’ and, you know, ‘I don’t believe you.’”
“Just screaming and yelling, irrational in my estimation,” the lawmaker added.
