MTG Trolls Democrats
Washington, D.C. — A fiery Capitol Hill showdown broke out Wednesday during a House subcommittee hearing on the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports — and it was Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) who took charge, gavel in hand.
Greene Shuts Down Democrat Disruption
Chairing the session, Greene clashed with Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) after the Democrat refused to stop speaking once her time expired. Despite repeated warnings, Stansbury kept going — forcing Greene to slam her gavel nearly 50 times to restore order.
“The gentlelady’s time is expired,” Greene said firmly as the disruption escalated.
Heated Debate Over Biological Males in Women’s Sports
The hearing, focused on protecting fairness for female athletes, quickly turned into a partisan flashpoint. When Greene attempted to move on and recognize Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI), Stansbury continued shouting over the gavel — declaring support for the transgender and LGBTQ+ community in a dramatic outburst.
“You can gavel me until the cows come home,” Stansbury yelled, drawing attention from left-wing media — but criticism from those concerned about decorum and the erosion of women’s sports.
Greene Defends the Committee’s Work
Democrats later attempted to shut down the hearing entirely, with Stansbury claiming the topic was “irrelevant.” Greene responded by holding up the official rulebook of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee to defend the subcommittee’s jurisdiction.

Why This Story Matters
With growing concern across the country about biological males competing in female sports, this hearing underscores just how divided Washington remains on issues of gender, fairness, and parental rights. Conservatives see leaders like Greene as a vital counterweight to what many call a radical agenda.
