Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) gave a terrific performance during President Joe Biden's State of the Union address on Tuesday night. Many compared her to Disney's Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians for her inexplicable outfit — a white coat with fur trim.
Matthew Dowd, a political analyst who previously served as the chief strategist for the George W. Bush's 2004 presidential campaign, referred to Greene as "Tonya Harding in a fur coat."
Dowd made the remarks while talking about the State of the Union with Deadline, host of the White House show, on Wednesday evening.
“It is an important topic, because what it underlines is Sarah Huckabee, as well as Tonya Harding, who was caught last night screaming at Joe Biden,” Dowd said, as Wallace burst into laughter.
The camera then moved to the rest of the panel, who were all equally in stitches by his remarks.
Wallace continued giggling, revealing that the party does not care about governing the American public. They have given up on it. Sarah Huckabee Sanders — I think she intendedly did what she did because she does not care about where the majority of the country stands. They only care about this cave of crazy that they live in.
Dowd made reference to Arkansas' newly-elected governor, who delivered an unhinged rebuttal to Biden's remarks late Tuesday night. Harding, of course, is the subject of the 2017 biographical comedy I, Tonya, starring Margot Robbie, who was famously involved in the 1994 incident against her US competitor Nancy Kerrigan.
Dowd's remarks did not take long to go viral, since people liked the comparison.
Others defended Harding, claiming that despite everything else, the skater was far more accomplished than Greene could ever imagine.
Everybody in America loses due to Greene and her ilk in Congress, unlike the 1994 Olympic figure skating team.
