Rep. Maxwell Frost Slams Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for Insensitive Comments

Rep.
Maxwell Frost

Marjorie Taylor Greene
(R-GA) for her insensitive comments about stepmothers not being real mothers.

Randi Weingarten,
who has stepchildren. Frost, who is a proud adoptee of two loving parents, gave a powerful rebuttal on the House floor.
