IF IT'S ILLEGAL to "illegal to disrupt the Congress and demonstrate," why was Marjorie Taylor Greene NOT ARRESTED?

[Miles Archer]

Remember the yelling stunts from Greene during Biden's SOTU? If...as the Capitol Police assert, it is "illegal to disrupt the Congress and demonstrate in the congressional buildings," WHY THE FUCK WAS GREENE NOT ARRESTED?

A guest of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, was arrested by Capitol police during the State of the Union address.

Omar had invited Aliya Rahman, a US citizen and Minneapolis resident who in January was removed from her car and dragged by immigration agents in the city as part of the Trump administration’s increased efforts to arrest and deport alleged undocumented immigrants. The officers had been shouting at her to move.

“I’m disabled, trying to go to the doctor up there. That’s why I didn’t move,” Rahman told officers as they pulled her from the car at the time. The officers caused her shoulder injuries, she later said.

During Donald Trump’s speech, Rahman “started demonstrating”, which violated rules for the event, according to the Capitol police.

“The guest was told to sit down, but refused to obey our lawful orders,” the police said in a statement. “It is illegal to disrupt the Congress and demonstrate in the congressional buildings.”

1. Hazmat suits not available?

2. Same reason why Ilhan Omar wasn't last night

Members of Congress are given more leniency than their staff members or guests, and short outbursts by them are usually tolerated. Continuing outbursts that don't stop after several warnings from the Speaker (such as Al Green's last year), don't even result in arrests. He just got thrown out.
