RICH MCCORMICK ADDRESSES MAJORIE TAYLOR GREENE ALTERCATION: "I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF TOUCH"
By Rey Harris

Washington DC - Congressman Rich McCormick has apologized for a recent incident that took place with Marjorie Taylor Greene, which she described as "physically aggressive."

Representative Rich McCormick apologized after his colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene alleged he got "physically aggressive" with her during a dispute.

Earlier this month, CNN reported that Greene told House Speaker Mike Johnson in private that McCormick "grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her" during a dispute over their competing resolutions.

"I had a disappointing conversation with somebody else. [Then] I came up to her, I placed my hands on her shoulder and said, 'At least you and I can have an honest conversation,'" he explained. "That's all I said."

He went on to argue that physical contact is pretty common between him and many of his colleagues in the House, where he says, "Everybody touches everybody."

Georgia Republican Rep. Rich McCormick filed for divorce from his wife this month, requesting a mutual restraining order and leading to a flurry of speculation from peers.

His wife of 12 years, oncologist Debra Miller, only told DailyMail.com that she was 'sure that he will not be forthcoming' when approached about the cause of the relationship's breakdown.

But Capitol Hill insiders have said they saw McCormick, 55, 'holding hands under the table' with female Republican member of the House Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas.

A source added that they had seen him 'grab the small of her back' on the House floor during votes.

With the two rumored to have been an item since at least January, Rich McCormick's followers may now be asking: who is Beth Van Duyne?
