Overview

• Tlaib said the committee should stand up against a "fascist takeover," calling the term a statement of fact during a House Oversight hearing on Washington, D.C.
• Donalds objected to the characterization and asked, "Do I look like a member of the Third Reich to you?" as the two shouted over one another.
• Chairman James Comer told Tlaib her time had expired, she refused to yield for a question, and the exchange escalated.
• The session examined President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and moves to federalize D.C. policing, with D.C. leaders including Mayor Muriel Bowser testifying.
• C‑SPAN video of the confrontation circulated widely, fueling a broader discussion about rhetoric and D.C. home rule, with no reported disciplinary action.
