We appear to finally be getting to the end of the long sorted tale of Marjorie Taylor Green radical and repugnant

0:14.2

reactionary Republican Congresswoman and the fines for violating the House of

0:19.4

Representatives mask mandates during the COVID era and I know many of you probably assumed this story

0:25.7

was over it is not over but we are now at the stage you know when people say we're

0:30.1

going to take this all the way to the Supreme Court and you laugh and you say no you're not.
