There was a hearing in the House Oversight Committee a week ago that got some press attention for some babyish exchanges between MTG and AOC, but in truth, there is a wealth of popcorn-worthy moments during the hearing. I didn't watch the whole thing, but I'll post the video and some momentous minute markers that I noticed.
The background of the hearing is to hold the AG in contempt. The hearing was held at night because many GOP members went to NY in the morning to attend Trump's trial. MTG insulted another congresswoman, and they tried to vote to strike her words, which would mean that she could no longer vote on the motion to hold the AG in contempt.
27:40 - co-chairman Raskin compares the hearing to a TV series, MTG interrupts with "you mean like the January 6 committee"
29:30 - GOP congresswoman interrupts to ask Raskin for a copy of the photo he's displaying, another asks if he wants a signed copy. AOC starts to brew.
45:50 - congressmen poking each other about impeachment, more interruptions
47:20 - the start of the exchange that made the news
53:20 - AOC demands an apology. "I am not apologizing." "Why don't you debate me, you don't have enough intelligence"
1:05:35 - Raskin objects to the fact that GOP congressmembers are being interviewed by members of the media while they are in the hearing. A GOP congressmember responds, "they identify as clerks. You are not respecting their identity."
1:02:00 - GOP Congresswoman retorts, nobody complained when Hunter Biden had Netflix follow him up here.
1:12:45 - Congresswoman Crockett insults MTG, setting off another tinderbox of insults
1:20:27 - "I hope you brought your popcorn"
There is a lot more, but don't have time to post now. Overall, most of the members are chilling and loving the action, but AOC of course is as serious as a heart attack the whole time.
