Democratic representatives in the Joe Biden impeachment hearing warned a Republican not to display “pornography” during proceedings.
Marjorie Taylor Greene was interrupted by Democratic representatives Jamie Raskin and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez following concerns she would show X-rated images again.
Speaking at the House Oversight and Accountability’s first hearing on the impeachment inquiry into Biden, Raskin said: “Mr Chairman, our colleague in Georgia has introduced before pornographic exhibits and displayed things that are really not suitable for children who might be watching."
Greene interjected, asking, “A bathing suit is not suitable, Mr Raskin?”

Raskin responded: “Well, I’m saying I would like the witness, I would like the member to be instructed to not introduce any pornography today at least without running through the chair first."
Greene continued to insist that the photo was a woman in a bathing suit, which she stated “is not pornography”.
Ocasio-Cortez then questioned if Greene was “submitting a naked woman’s body”.
Greene snapped back, “this is a bathing suit, this is a bathing suit”, before asking the New York Democrat whether she was wearing her glasses or not.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
The hearing could potentially lead to the impeachment of President Biden after Republicans accused him of profiting while he serving as vice president from 2009 to 2017.
It is alleged that Biden benefits from his son Hunter Biden's foreign business ventures.
However, so far, no evidence has been presented to prove he abused his role.
Previously, at a hearing in July, Greene held up small posters showing graphic sexual photos of Hunter Biden from the laptop hard drive which supposedly belonged to him.

Despite the images being censored with black boxes, Raskin asked Oversight Committee Chair James Comer at the time if Greene should be displaying those photographs.
Republicans launched their first impeachment hearing into Biden on Thursday.
Biden has denied that he had involvement in his son’s business dealings.
