GOP Pollster Luntz Compares Congressional Lawmakers to ‘Bravo Cast Members’ Over House Shouting

GOP pollster Frank Luntz compared members of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee to “Bravo cast members” on Thursday.

“You know American leadership is in crisis when you can’t tell the difference between Congressional representatives on C-SPAN and cast members on Bravo,” Luntz said in a post on social platform X that featured images of a fire Oversight Committee hearing Thursday night.

The cable network is best known for shows like “The Real Housewives” franchise, “Vanderpump Rules,” “Top Chef” and more.

The chaos at Thursday night’s oversight hearing, focused on holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt after he refused to turn over audio of President Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, began after Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) commented on the appearance of fellow committee member Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas).

When Greene questioned whether Democrats on the panel employed the daughter of the judge overseeing former President Trump’s case in New York, Crockett chimed in, resisting the relevance of Greene’s inquiry.

“I don’t think you know why you’re here,” Greene told Crockett. “I think your false eyelashes are getting in the way of what you’re reading.”

From there, chaos erupted as Democrats expressed their outrage at Greene’s behavior, and Greene continued to fight back.

At one point, Crockett questioned whether “someone on this committee starts talking about someone’s blond, poorly built body” would break Congressional protocol. Her question seemed to be a jab at Greene.

Greene later said in a post on social platform in general. ”

Crockett said Greene’s comments about her appearance show she is “absolutely” racist.

“She is racist. I mean, I have no doubts about it. Because, I mean, I don’t know if she ever attacked her own colleagues,” Crockett said.
