After downing a Chinese balloon, the Biden administration briefed House members behind closed doors. While Greene bragged about her role in the hearing Steven Cohen (D-TN) has come forward to say Greene made a fool of herself. Apparently she got up to speak towards the end of the meeting after officials clearly explained why the balloon had to be shot down over water and not land. Cohen specifically stayed until the end of the meeting to make note of Greene’s buffoonery.

Cohen said Greene had told the officials that she was going to speak to them "like the average American" and told them: "You embarrassed the president of the United States. You let this balloon fly over that of the United States."
"She went, 'we didn't know what was in that balloon, it could have been nuclear material, it could have been radiation. We didn't know what was in that balloon and you let it fly over our country for eight days? That was just s***! It was bulls***. And I don't believe anything you're telling us.'"
Cohen said when Greene "finished her diatribe," an official started responding to her comments.
"He started speaking and responding to her and she interrupted and he jumped back right in," Cohen said.
"He said, 'Ma'am, I didn't interrupt you and I'd appreciate your not interrupting me.' And she shut up."
Cohen went on: "She's unbelievable. She made a fool of herself. She made a total absolute fool of herself, didn't know what she was talking about."
