Speaker Kevin McCarthy told his members to be on their best behavior at the 2023 State of the Union address. But Republican House members didn’t follow his lead any more than they did during the fifteen votes it took him to become speaker in early January. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was a stand-out, repeatedly heckling the President, hooting and hollering and thumbs-downing him with abandon. Some Twitter commenters compared her performance to iconic moments from Bravo’s ‘Real Housewives’ franchise.
Here are some of her greatest moments.
Standing Out in a Crowd
Rep. Greene Not Having It
Sitting But Still Feral
Jeering the President to His Face
Screaming and Hollering
Making a Point of Order
Dressed to Stand Out and Living Her Best Life

In the old days such people were called jerks.
Remember the good old days of Sarah Palin?

Good reference because any Real House Husbands of DC, even a pilot episode, seems off the table.
On the other hand, Kevin McCarthy’s wife Judy is interested in Washington-based presidential assassination sites. Might be a bit dark for advertisers.
This is why dress code matters. You get members of Congress looking like the hunger games on the floor.
