Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) \u2014\u00a0who was presiding over the chamber \u2014 called for decorum.<\/p>\n<p>The heckling came as House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) was delivering floor remarks about the debt ceiling, which has been the subject of high-stakes negotiations between GOP lawmakers and the White House.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>As Scalise was urging the Senate and White House to take action on raising the borrowing limit \u2014 referencing the bill House Republicans passed last month \u2014 a lawmaker yelled out in the chamber.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are in fact the only body in this town who has actually taken steps to address the debt ceiling and the spending problem in Washington. I would encourage the Senate to take up the bill, I would encourage the president to get engaged and address this problem, but we already have, the votes are on the board \u2014\u201d Scalise said before pausing to react to the yelling.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear which lawmaker shouted and what they said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOrder,\u201d Greene said from the dais, pounding her gavel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI ask that the House be in order and there be some decorum on the other side,\u201d Scalise said.<\/p>\n<p>After a roughly 15-second pause, Greene called for decorum in the chamber.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThe members are reminded to abide by decorum of the House,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats in the chamber then erupted in laughter. Some members \u2014 including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Cori Bush (D-Mo.) \u2014\u00a0stood from their seats and started shouting.<\/p>\n<p>As the laughter continued, Greene slammed her gavel a number of times.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The Hill reached out to Greene for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats\u2019 reaction was a reflection of the controversy swirling around Greene\u2019s own bombastic behavior since arriving on Capitol Hill, which at times has played out on the House floor. During President Biden\u2019s State of the Union address in February, the Georgia Republican yelled \u201cliar\u201d\u00a0as the president delivered remarks on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Social<\/a> Security and Medicare.<\/p>\n<p>And last month, Greene was silenced during a Homeland Security Committee hearing\u00a0after she accused Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of being a liar.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Following the laughter, Greene said \u201cthe House will be in order\u201d and recognized Scalise to continue talking on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile some in this town might be interested in theatrics, House Republicans took action,\u201d Scalise said, prompting groans in the chamber. \u201cWe passed a bill to address the problem, it\u2019s time for my friends on the other side to start doing their job, call the Senate back in to take up the bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they don\u2019t like it they can amend it, that is part of the legislative process. Let\u2019s get our jobs done; we\u2019ve done ours, they need to do theirs,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Scalise took to the House floor Wednesday to inform lawmakers that they can leave Washington for Memorial Day weekend but should be prepared to return to the Capitol with 24-hours notice to vote on a debt limit ceiling as negotiations over raising the borrowing limit drag on.<\/p>\n<p>For more than a week, Republican lawmakers and White House negotiators have been engaging in talks to come to an agreement. Pressure, however, has mounted in recent days as the calendar inches closer to June 1 \u2014 the day that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned the U.S. could default by.<\/p>\n<p>After announcing the scheduling plans, House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) spoke on the House floor to criticize the GOP bill and celebrate that all members of the Democratic caucus signed on to a discharge petition, which liberal lawmakers are hoping can be used to force a vote on legislation to increase the borrowing limit.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Democrats erupted in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lause.<\/p>\n<p>While all 213 Democrats have signed onto the petition,\u00a0the caucus needs five Republicans to join their effort to reach the threshold of a majority of the chamber, which is needed to force a vote through the discharge petition. That, however, is an unlikely scenario as Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has called on GOP lawmakers to stand behind him in negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Clark, however, called on Republicans to join the Democratic effort.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cIt only takes five patriots to join us in the fight for the American people. Join us, sign the petition, stay here and fight for American families, fight for their American security,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc. All rights reserved.
