WATCH: Rep. Taylor-Greene calls Speaker Pelosi ‘queen of the house of hypocrites’ over COVID restrictions
Rep. Majorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) appeared on Real America’s Voice Friday to blast Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for setting COVID-19 restrictions on the House floor. While Pelosi demands that masks be worn on the floor, she’s often seen without one, for which Taylor-Greene dubbed her the “queen of the house of the hypocrites.”
During a press conference Wednesday, Pelosi suggested that vaccinated members stay clear of unvaccinated members “because they are selfishly an endangerment to other people, including staff people here.”
“This woman is mentally ill,’ Taylor-Greene told David Brody.
Then, Taylor-Greene drew a comparison between a mask mandate and the Holocaust in Europe, saying that masks are the equivalent to the gold star Jewish people were given at the time. “This is exactly the kind of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about,” the Georgia representative said.
Pelosi has punished fellow lawmakers for not wearing a mask on the floor, while she was photographed at that Wednesday presser without a mask. She even shook hands and hugged people. However, Taylor-Greene and others have received fines for doing the same thing. The Georgia lawmaker said she’s received two separate fines in a tweet Friday.
“This is a woman that is hyper-focused on her own power and control,” Taylor-Greene said.

“We did it, Joe” memes of Vice President Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are popping up all over social media alongside individuals photographs of the horrendously high prices they have to pay at the gas pump to fill their cars.
Biden has no intention of fixing it, as proven by the administration’s recent decision to actually cancel an oil and gas lease win the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska’s Cook Inlet.
This is nothing short of purposeful destruction of America. The Interior Department told The New York Post that the Cook Inlet lease sale would not move forward because of a “lack of industry interest in leasing in the area.”
In the Gulf of Mexico, the department canceled two lease sales, citing “conflicting court rulings that impacted work on these proposed sales.”
The timing is outrageous, considering “as of Thursday morning, the national average price of a gallon of regular gas stood at $4.418, according to AAA — the highest on record and $1.41 higher than at this time last year.”
Additionally, the scenario also displays just how much federal judges tend to completely disagree with his actions. “Biden imposed a moratorium on the sale of new leases one week after his inauguration, but the order was later blocked by a Louisiana federal judge who granted a preliminary injunction to 13 states that claimed they would suffer ‘irreparable injury’ from the White House move” writes The Post.
At least federal judges are watching out to keep our country afloat, let along thriving, considering our own President and Vice President will not.
Republicans and energy industry representatives are fuming over the decision. “Yesterday, Americans paid the highest price for gasoline in history,” tweeted Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). “At the same time Biden just canceled our largest pending American oil & gas lease sale.”
“Gas prices are at a record high, and Biden just canceled oil and gas leases in Alaska and the Gulf,” added Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.). “Joe Biden is directly responsible for the high cost of gas.”
“It’s almost like the Biden administration WANTS gas prices to go higher” said Pennsylvania US Senate GOP candidate Carla Sands
“The President has spoken about the need for additional supplies in the market, but his administration has failed to take action to match that rhetoric,” Frank Macchairola of the American Petroleum Institute told CBS News, calling the cancellations “another example of the administration’s lack of commitment to oil and gas development in the US.”
“In the kind of price environment that we’re seeing, there are negative consequences to shutting off oil and gas development, both politically and practically,” he added.
If the administration had moved forward with the Alaskan lease, it would have covered more than 1 million acres, according to The Hill.
