Marjorie Taylor Greene is once again trying to stop all House business for the day in order to derail the Equality Act, which would protect LGBTQ Americans from workplace discrimination. Yesterday Greene went on a transphobic rant and attacked the child of one of our colleagues.
Yes it is irritating to have House business ground to a halt by a bigot who is desperate for attention.
But Greene's attacks on trans Americans, including the daughter of our colleague whom she attacked yesterday, matter a lot more than the inconvenience to Members of Congress.

Update: a day after Marjorie Taylor Greene bullied our colleague's daughter, almost every House Republican is supporting her transphobic attacks and voting to end House business for the day to block the Equality Act. 
The final vote tally: 199 out of 201 House Republicans who cast votes backed Marjorie Taylor Greene's transphobic attempt to end House business for the day.
They aren't only voting to derail protections for LGBTQ Americans -- if they'd succeeded it would've delayed Covid relief.
