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.

As of September 12, the state of Texas has raised a little over $55 million in private donations, to secure the southern border and build a wall. “While securing the border is the federal government’s responsibility, Texas will not sit idly by as this crisis grows. Texas is responding with the most robust and comprehensive border plan the nation has ever seen,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement.
“The State of Texas is working collaboratively with communities impacted by the border crisis to arrest and detain individuals coming into Texas illegally,” Abbott’s statement reads. “Our efforts will only be effective if we work together to secure the border, make criminal arrests, protect landowners, rid our communities of dangerous drugs, and provide Texans with the support they need and deserve.”
In addition to finding money for a border wall, Abbott has signed legislation which designated Mexican drug cartels as domestic terrorists, and has called on President Joe Biden to do the same.
“Fentanyl is a clandestine killer, and Texans are falling victim to the Mexican cartels that are producing it,” said Governor Abbott in a statement. “Cartels are terrorists, and it’s time we treated them that way. In fact, more Americans died from fentanyl poisoning in the past year than all terrorist attacks across the globe in the past 100 years. In order to save our country, particularly our next generation, we must do more to get fentanyl off our streets.”
“As of now, Biden has not responded to Abbott’s request to designate Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations” reports Just The News.
