Things went from annoyingly vapid to full-on “Idiocracy” in Congress during a late-night House Oversight committee meeting on the markup of a resolution to hold Biden Administration Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress, a resolution championed by many conservatives disgusted over his handling of the border crisis.

Even Sen. John Fetterman compared the embarrassing incident to the Jerry Springer Show.

Particularly, the event resembled “Idiocracy,” many on X (formerly Twitter) argued, because numerous representatives, namely Reps.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Jasmine Crockett cattily sniped at each other in an argument that turned into a shouting match, with nothing of substance discussed and ridiculous, ad-hominem barbs exchanged.

As background, “The Jerry Springer Show,” which Sen. Fetterman compared the incident to, is a decades-running reality show that features ridiculous family and interpersonal drama.

It is described on Apple TV as “Loaded with bleeped profanity and guests who aren’t afraid to embarrass themselves on national TV, ‘Jerry Springer’ features a host who is the anti-Oprah, aiming his show squarely at viewers who rubberneck at traffic accidents.”

Sen. Fetterman, commenting on the embarrassing shouting match and insult exchange in a post on X that included a screenshot of a CNN headline about the ridiculous incident, said that to compare it to the reality show would be an insult to that show.

He wrote “In the past, I’ve described the U.S. House as The Jerry Springer Show. Today, I’m apologizing to The Jerry Springer Show.”

Rep. AOC then angrily attacked him on X with a wild post in which she bizarrely accused him of not being sufficiently against “racism and misogyny” and suggested that he had become a “bully.”

She began by saying, “I understand you likely would not have stood up for your colleague and seem to be confused about racism and misogyny being a “both sides” issue.”
