"Host Laura Coates played a clip from a CNN interview with Greene. During that interview, the Georgia congresswoman lambasted her fellow Republicans for not having a "good solution" for health insurance affordability and for closing the House of Representatives during the shutdown, something that isn't required. She also praised former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) because she "accomplished more for her party than I've seen our speaker accomplish for ours.""
"The rhetoric is surprising from the far-right congresswoman, but Crockett pointed out that Greene has a long way to go before her newfound populist rhetoric is believable. Crockett pointed to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which passed earlier this year and includes cuts to Medicaid and Affordable Care Act insurance. "Hell must have frozen over, because we are agreeing more than we're not," Crockett said of Greene. "But I will tell you that while there is a new Marjorie Taylor"
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized her party for closing the House, lacking a plan to improve health care access, and for not swearing in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. Greene praised former Speaker Nancy Pelosi for accomplishing more for her party than current leadership. Rep. Jasmine Crockett challenged Greene's credibility and said Greene previously contributed to the problems she now criticizes. Crockett cited the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, passed earlier this year, which included cuts to Medicaid and Affordable Care Act insurance. Crockett said she did not understand why Greene did not act differently when she had the chance.
