'She's just nuts': Morning Joe mocks MTG for whining about 'sneaky' move that sank vote
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough mocked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for whining about a "sneaky" ploy Democrats used to sink the impeachment of Homeland Security secretary Alejandra Mayorkas.
Four Republicans joined all Democrats – including Rep. Al Green (D-TX), who dramatically rolled up to the the U.S. Capitol in a wheelchair and wearing hospital scrubs after a recent surgery – and voted against the measure, which ultimately failed by 216-214, and the Georgia Republican cried foul afterward.
“They hid one of their members, waiting to the last minute, watching to see our votes, trying to throw us off on the numbers that we had versus the numbers they had,” Greene said. “So, yeah, that was a strategy at play tonight.”
Scarborough and "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski were mystified by her complaint.

"Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene suggested that was a sneaky move," Brzezinski said. "Oh, got it, got it."
"I don't even know what to say about that," Scarborough said.
"She's just nuts," Brzezinski added.
"He voted, you're supposed to vote – there's nothing sneaky about it," Scarborough continued.
"It's his job," Brzezinski said.
"Got a voting card, I'm here, vote," Scarborough added, imitating the clicking buzz made by electronic voting machines used on the House floor.
