Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) says she was almost removed from the House chamber during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address.
After the speech, Greene made an appearance on RSBN and said, “Here’s what I found to be outrageous, the sergeant at arms came up and told me that I needed to take the hat off.”
The Georgia congresswoman attended the speech wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.
“I said, I’m not taking the hat off, I refuse to take it off. And he said, ‘Well, it’s decorum.’ I said, ‘I certainly understand, you do what you need to do, I’ll pay a fine, I’ll do whatever, a warning, whatever there is, but I’m not taking the hat off,” Greene continued.

She went on:
“He said, ‘Well, you’re going to have to leave or we’re going to take you out.’ And I was like, ‘You can haul me out of here, go ahead and try it.”
Greene did not take the hat off and wore it while she greeted Biden as he walked into the House chamber.

Upon apparently seeing Greene clad in her MAGA outfit, Biden appeared to be taken aback.
