Rep. Dingell confronts Taylor Greene

Democratic U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell confronted conservative Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, leading to a shouting over political civility — or the lack thereof.

Dingell of Michigan addressed Greene after the Georgia lawmaker was berating a group of Democratic lawmakers about abortion as the group had a news conference outside the U.S. House of Representatives about President Joe Biden’s agenda.

The exchange was captured on video by multiple reporters at the event.

“You should all be ashamed!” Greene shouted at the Democrats.

Dingell called after

Greene as she turned to walk away.

“You should be ashamed for your lack of civility,” Dingell said.

“Killing a baby up until birth is a lack of civility. It’s called murder,” Greene retorted. “How about the border down there? Lack of civility. How about lack of laws or protecting our Constitution?”

“We have lots of laws we follow,” Dingell interjected. “You should practice the basic thing you’re taught in church: Respect your neighbor.”

“Taught in church? Are you kidding me? Try being a Christian and supporting life,” Greene said.

“You try being a Christian and treat your colleagues decently!” Dingell shouted.

New Jersey Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone appeared to steady Dingell as she nearly fell down a step.

“Watch your step, lady. You’re going to fall down,” Greene added. “Control yourself.”

The exchange occurred following the House’s vote Friday morning on a bill to preserve abortion rights, which passed largely on party lines 218-211.

“I was mad. Why do you have to yell at your colleagues on the steps of the Capitol other than to create a scene?” Dingell said afterward.

“It’s already edgy. Everybody’s mad at each other. And we need to treat each other with respect and civility and listen to each other. Listen to different perspectives.” Within hours, Dingell’s campaign sent out a fundraising appeal highlighting her altercation with Greene.
