Gwen Moore gave herself an internal pep talk about ethics and humanity when she found herself sitting next to the far-right lawmaker.
Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) has revealed how she fact-checked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene “in real-time” after she found herself sat next to the MAGA hat-wearing far-right lawmaker during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address.
Moore, during an interview on MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” said she only ended up in a coveted aisle seat beside Greene because she’d arrived late and an unnamed colleague said they had “the perfect seat” for her.
“Nobody wanted to sit next to MTG,” said Moore, who clashed with Greene in 2021 after Greene accused her of speading COVID.
Moore said she gave herself a pep talk before taking her seat for Biden’s speech.
“So, I just said, ‘Gwen, you don’t want to stand up for two and a half hours.’ As I pointed out to her, Joe Biden is long-winded, so I knew I was going to be there for a minute. So, ‘You don’t have to say anything to her Gwen, remember your ethics training, you don’t have to agree with people.’
