Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) revealed that she came close to being escorted out of the House chamber while President Joe Biden delivered his State of the Union address.
During the speech, the congresswoman from Georgia sported a “Make America Great Again” hat. Following the address, Greene appeared on RSBN and expressed her frustration, stating, “I was taken aback when the sergeant at arms approached me and demanded that I remove my hat.”
“I said, I’m not taking the hat off, I refuse to take it off. And he said, ‘Well, it’s decorum.’ I said, ‘I certainly understand, you do what you need to do, I’ll pay a fine, I’ll do whatever, a warning, whatever there is, but I’m not taking the hat off,” Greene continued.
She went on:
“He said, ‘Well, you’re going to have to leave or we’re going to take you out.’ And I was like, ‘You can haul me out of here, go ahead and try it.”
