Fetterman, who has emerged as a top critic of his own party, likened the display in the House to "The Jerry Springer Show." The decades-long reality program is described on Apple TV as "Loaded with bleeped profanity and guests who aren't afraid to embarrass themselves on national TV, ‘Jerry Springer’ features a host who is the anti-Oprah, aiming his show squarely at viewers who rubberneck at traffic accidents."

Fetterman's office told Fox News Digital in response to Ocasio-Cortez's post, "John responded to an absurd screaming match of personal attacks in an unhinged House committee hearing."
During the markup, Crockett asked Greene, "Do you know what we’re here for?", which prompted the Georgia Republican to retort, "I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading."

Ocasio-Cortez immediately sought to have Greene's response taken down, calling for a point of order and calling the remark "absolutely unacceptable."
When Greene asked, "Are your feelings hurt?", Ocasio-Cortez said, "Oh girl, baby girl! Don’t even play!"
Fox News Digital reached out to Fetterman's office for a response to AOC's post.
