LaVar Burton: Welcome back to Congressional Jeopardy. Before we begin the Double Jeopardy round, I would like to remind our contestants once again to please refrain from spreading COVID-19 misinformation. That said, let’s take a look at the scores.

LaVar Burton: Texas Representative Louie Gohmert has set a new Congressional Jeopardy record with negative $58,000.

Louie Gohmert: Yowza, that’s why I hate math. I want a recount!

LaVar Burton: Marjorie Taylor Greene is in second place with minus $14,000.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: How much do I need to buy a vowel?

LaVar Burton: That’s Wheel of Fortune, Congresswoman Greene.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: Is that one of those Jewish game shows? They love their money and space lasers.

LaVar Burton: If we could also desist with the anti-Semitic and ethnic slurs, that would be appreciated.

Lauren Boebert: Does desist mean to speak louder?
