“A fistfight could break out at any moment,” Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett told The Daily Beast.

I mean… in this case I think that’s where the fun begins. No matter who does what to who between the two of them I will have no sympathy. I only hope it happens where we can get cspan footage.
While I agree with the sentiment, I feel that this kind of direct ad hominem is not really relevant. Especially since there is enough substantially bad stuff to say about Greene that does not equate her appearance to that of a cave person from 40 000 years ago.
i think it lowkey speaks to the fact that a lot of Republicans (even in Congress) are basically fascists at this point—obviously, fascists love violence and conflict because it plays into their eternal struggle and siege mindset.

I’m aware, but it doesn’t change the level of enjoyment I’d get from one of those two taking a cane to the other. :-)
Actual GOP reactions to the looming fight caught on video
I dunno, Greene has that cromagnon skull that can probably take a punch
