WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s “verbal assault” on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was “so beyond the pale” that it should be investigated by the House Ethics Committee.
“This is beneath the dignity of a person serving in the Congress of the United States and is a cause for trauma and fear among members,” Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters during her weekly news conference.

O Keefe s lawsuit says Twitter s accusations are extremely damaging to his reputation and amount to libel. He s also suing CNN because anchor Ana Cabrera erroneously reported the ban on Project Veritas came as part of a crackdown to try to stop the spread of misinformation. Perhaps the greatest irony here is everyone in the media accuses us of misinformation when that is precisely what they do, O Keefe said, and he vowed not to back down. We don t settle, O Keefe said about the dual lawsuits. We fight all the way to a jury verdict, and we have never lost.
