*Not* putting her in as Ranking Member of House Oversight would be legislative malpractice IMO.

I mean, check her out:

May 17, 2024 #marjorietaylorgreene #jasminecrockett #aoc
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene clashed with Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jasmine Crockett during a House Oversight Committee hearing on Thursday. Lawmakers had gathered to discuss whether to recommend contempt of Congress charges for Attorney General Merrick Garland after he refused to turn over President Biden’s audio interview with special counsel Robert Hur.

She takes no shit and gives zero fucks. Just who we need heading up the Dems on Oversight.
