Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) banged her gavel almost 50 times in an effort to silence Ranking Democratic member Melanie Stansbury (N.M.) during a House subcommittee hearing Wednesday afternoon.

The hearing, which focused on trans women in sports, devolved into heated crossfire between Democrats and Republicans on multiple occasions.

However, the hearing got especially intense when Stansbury began speaking over her allotted time, which led to Greene, who is chair of the subcommittee, to interrupt the Democratic member.
