Thanks to “internet hooligan” Acyn, we have this wonderful edit of the shitshow happening on the House floor–not the Speaker shit show; that was last week–with monumental failure Marjorie Taylor Greene introducing a bill that would require the Department of Interior to preserve all statues and monuments on their grounds–Marge’s attempt to protect Confederate statutes honoring secessionist slaveholders. Former flag-flying Trump-era Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke read a version of MTG’s bill that would only cover monuments to “the Founders,” but a Democrat noted the version of the bill being considered would cover “all monuments,” including those to secessionists. (Did Marge intentionally circulate an old version? Sounds like something she would do.). Marge herself finally makes an appearance, praising Col. Robert E. Lee. And yes, he is Col. Lee, as was his final rank in the US Army, which is the only rank that should be honored on the floor of the Capitol.
Update 10:52 p.m. ET: The bill failed, but 191 Republicans voted for it.
