Marjorie Taylor Greene bangs the gavel a lot about fencing [1]

You already read and saw what Jasmine Crockett did at the hearing about "Men in Women's Sports," where she came up with a game she called "Trump or Trans."
But there was another lady that called out MTG for conspicuously cropping a picture of the director of USA Fencing to make it look like he was giving the middle finger.
The infamous finger pic.
Rep. Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico can be seen amused at Jasmine's patter in the back row above.
The original pic.
Here's a clip of Stansbury on her Bluesky account with an intro by Jimmy Kimmel. You have to watch it. It's impossible to transcribe images. Well, actually you can, like writing a screenplay describing it all, but you don't get the same effect.
Marjorie had a bunch of posts on her X account about the subcommittee hearing. On the DOGE subcommittee account there are 20 of them. Owning the libs. Trans in fencing. What a crime. This time there isn't any supposed superiority, like with swimming, pole vaulting or weightlifting. In fact, by bringing it up, MTG and company are saying that women don't have the reflexes of men. That's about all fencing is. Reflexes. MTG is spouting male chauvinism, and last time I checked, MTG wasn't male.
The last question is why a subcommittee that is supposed to be about cutting government costs, is doing a hearing about trans? A waste of taxpayer money. The very thing they're supposed to be getting rid of.
It's nice to know that Crockett has some other support on the committee to put MTG in her place. I want to know how Stansbury had that picture ready to go when MTG put up her poster board.
The gavel banging is classic. She has no control of anything including her own brain.
