Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was involved in a shouting match with Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell on the steps of the Capitol Building over the subject of abortion.
“Horrendous,” the Georgia firebrand shouted at a group of Democrats who had just passed the Women’s Health Protection Act that attempts to codify Roe v. Wade into law to protect against possible Supreme Court action against the controversial 1973 ruling being struck down. “You should all be ashamed.”
Dingell, who represents Michigan’s 12th district, shouted back at Greene accusing her of showing a “lack of civility.”
“You know what?” Greene responded. “Killing a baby up until birth is a lack of civility. It’s called murder.”

“We have lots of laws we follow,” Dingell shot back. “You should practice the basic thing you’re taught in church: Respect your neighbor.”
Greene took issue with that statement and said, “Taught in church? Are you kidding me? Try being a Christian and supporting life.”
“You try being a Christian and treat your colleagues decently!” Dingell answered.”
Dingell then appeared to stumble down one of the Capitol steps and was steadied by fellow Democrat Rep. Frank Pallone.
“Watch your step, lady. You’re going to fall down,” Greene said. “Control yourself.”
Dingell acknowledged the interaction on Twitter saying that it taught Americans two things: “1- Be a good neighbor 2- Don’t mess with Michigan women”
In a statement to Fox News, Greene responded to Dingell’s tweet.
“Two things we learned today,” Greene said. “1- All House Democrats are evil and will kill unborn babies all the way up to birth & then celebrate. 2- You might fall down the stairs when your unhinged & hypocritically preaching about being civil, going to church & killing babies.”
Greene added, “You’re a joke.”
