Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
  • Federal regulators bailed out Silicon Valley Bank depositors following its Friday collapse.
  • Republican lawmakers criticized the bailout, saying it benefits the rich.
  • Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers blamed a Trump-era rollback of consumer protections for SVB's fallout.
