The question in focus pertained to Lauren Boebert's proposal to offer guided tours of the Capitol to those pardoned for their involvement in the January 6 riot. Greene, who chairs the House's DOGE Subcommittee, responded with visible frustration. "I'm not doing this. This insane place up here and all of y'all's obsession with January 6 is absurd," she retorted.

According to the Daily Mail, Greene further questioned why Zanona was not inquiring about Joe Biden's last-minute pardons for family members and close allies, or the other 'murders, rapists and disgusting people' that the former president pardoned before vacating office. "Everybody outside of here is sick and f***ing tired of it. I'm serious. Everybody up here has their panties in a wad," she added.

Greene's contention with the media's focus on the rioters was evident as she stated, 'A lot of them walked through open doors. That's it.' When Zanona pressed on about the potential tours for the pardoned individuals, Greene expressed her hope that they could rebuild their lives. "They're pardoned and thank God, I hope they go live their lives and reassemble something back together. They have suffered enough," she said.

Greene's frustration with the media's coverage of the January 6 events was palpable. "I've seen all the Democrat-run networks ad nauseam about January 6. And they just can't get over themselves. But they don't give a s*** about real Americans!" she exclaimed.

The Congresswoman also criticized the media's overall treatment of her, suggesting that their biased coverage is the reason for the public's growing skepticism. "Why don’t you do a story on what people care about? People care about the border, the economy, energy. They’re sick and tired of the foreign wars. They’re tired of the hypocrisy up here, and they hate the media right now," she argued.
