'Verbal assault': Pelosi denounces Marjorie Taylor Greene's AOC confrontation

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi denounced Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., for her "verbal assault" and "abuse" of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., in the hallway outside the House chamber Wednesday.

"It's so beyond the pale of anything that is in keeping with bringing honor to the House," Pelosi said during her weekly press conference on Capitol Hill Thursday.

The Washington Post reported Wednesday that two of its reporters witnessed Greene "aggressively confront" Ocasio-Cortez as she was exiting the chamber, falsely accusing the New York Democrat of supporting "terrorist" groups such as Black Lives Matter and antifa.

A spokeswoman for Ocasio-Cortez confirmed the encounter to the Post, saying in a statement that Greene "tried to begin an argument," and that when Ocasio-Cortez tried to walk away, the Georgia Republican freshman "began screaming and called Rep. Ocasio-Cortez a terrorist sympathizer."

1. Empty Greene just sits around her office all day

Tweeting and thinking bout how she can stall Tge House from doing it’s business oh and planning rallies in states she doesn’t represent. I think she was all fired up from that rally at the retirement place and was stewing in her office looking for a fight.

4. Lock Up GreenGirl in the insane asylum !!!!

[haele]

5. I read tweeting as tweaking...

That sort of confused targeted ambush and then shrieking after the target when they won't engage is a hallmark symptom of someone who is still high on various forms of meth.

Just saying - I think Margey might have indulged a bit when she was road-tripping with Gaetz.

15. MTG and Boebart are just using Trump's playbook to get attention and stay in the media.

.

That's their #1 thing. Stay in the press every day.

No matter what it takes, shock & awe, whatever. They need the attention.

.

[demtenjeep]

23. please use MarjiQ and nothing else

she does not deserve initials

[Cha]

46. EXACTL! Please Let

What Happened to trump Happened to those two Fucking Min Treasonous Psychos!:

[dixiegrrrrl]

39. I am resisting urge to call he names

so will just say....she is apparently not House trained.

[FirstLight]

2. disgusting.

These "representatives" need to be censured and more for behaving like bullies and thugs.

[haele]

8. Drug Test

That's the second thing that would happen if someone acted like that at any number of my workplaces, especially my government ones.
The first thing would be that they would be removed from the premise immediately until after a investigation finished.

[qazplm135]

3. mission accomplished

she's fueled by our outrage.

[gratuitous]

7. And if we're not outraged

Then we're too chicken to engage the troll and the troll declares victory. Sort of a "heads I win, tails you lose" scenario in which there is no correct response.

That being said, I think Rep. Ocasio-Cortez was 100% correct to ignore Rep. Greene. She can't address the problem of Greene's poor use of her copious spare time. There needs to be a bipartisan (yeah, that means YOU Kevin McCarthy) unambiguous statement to Greene that her antics aren't tolerated, and that any further shenanigans will result in having her office budget slashed.

[qazplm135]

19. best option is to ignore her

treat her as the joke she is.

[lpbk2713]

6. Greene is stressed out from working so hard on her committee assignments.

Oh ... wait.

Never mind.

[maxsolomon]

9. Censure her, expel her.

Pelosi has it in her power.

I keep waiting for some consequences to come out of 1/6. Tick tock.

[leftieNanner]

13. Pelosi can't expel her

Without a 2/3 majority vote of the entire House. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

Kevin McCarthy is a spineless ignorant coward and he will do nothing.

[Grins]

18. It doesn't matter! Do it anyway.

There was no chance they would prevail in impeaching the orange seditionist, either, but they did it.

Make a spectacle of Republicans, who are forever bitching about “comity,” “bipartisanship”, “reaching across the aisle to “bring us together as a nation,” DEFEND that shit!!! Publicly!

[maxsolomon]

37. I think you're right. Mea Culpa.

She can Censure.

[Grins]

16. I'm with you!

Cut the weaselly my crap, throw your power around and hammer Greene into the damn ground. If “It's so beyond the pale of anything that is in keeping with bringing honor to the House” then EXPEL her from Congress. Send her back to the toothless idiots and imbeciles who elected her.

Jesus, we are four months and days from an attempted coup d’etat, and one day after the GQP took down one of their own for the sin of repeating what their own leader said after that coup attempt.

And THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE GQP has done this to AOC! Last July a “Christian” Republican called her a “fucking bitch,” she was physically targeted last January, and now needs private security.

Enough! What are you afraid of? The GQP? Fox? Eff them! Burn them!

[SMC22307]

10. So what happens beyond "denouncing"? No GOP speaker would tolerate this shit...

from a Democrat.

[aocommunalpunch]

12. It's a good question.

It’s unlikely to get a satisfactory answer.

[SMC22307]

14. I think you're right, sadly. (n/t)

[TheRealNorth]

11. Marjorie Traitor Greene's obsession with AOC is creepy.

AOC might need to consider getting a restraining order against Creepy Marjorie Traitor Greene.

[Celerity]

20. and this

[smirkymonkey]

36. That is SICK!

Stochastic terrorism, right there! Who's the terrorist, Marge?

Why are they tolerating this thick-witted troll? Expel her for threatening members of Congress. She is only there to pull stunts like this for media attention and to keep the money coming in. She is absolutely worthless as a congressperson.

[Celerity]

38. The most fucked up thing is that there AT LEAST 50 million Americans who would orgasm if

Taylor Greene executed AOC or Pelosi on the floor of the House. I cannot believe the level of violent white power, blatant, raw, open, I am seeing on my football (soccer) rooms and threads. It is by far worse than it was just 2 years ago. The fuckers are completely psychotic. It is so beyond just a bunch of incel meme-rats. Some of them are extremely well versed in history and rhetoric and are magnets for the the rest of the fence riders, they are effective pied pipers.

[smirkymonkey]

40. It's just so depressing.

The fact that they even think this way. It is just so extreme and psychotic. There is way too much mental illness out there for my comfort level. Probably why I rarely leave my neighborhood these days.

[Celerity]

41. it is group psychosis via non-linear warfare/reflexive control, a subject I have posted on before

Create a fog of war, destroy valid measurements and norms, zig when all else in a normal predictive system says you will ZAG.

The Hidden Author of Putinism
How Vladislav Surkov invented the new Russia

https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/11/hidden-author-putinism-russia-vladislav-surkov/382489/

“I am the author, or one of the authors, of the new Russian system,” Vladislav Surkov told us by way of introduction. On this spring day in 2013, he was wearing a white shirt and a leather jacket that was part Joy Division and part 1930s commissar. “My portfolio at the Kremlin and in government has included ideology, media, political parties, religion, modernization, innovation, foreign relations, and ...”—here he pauses and smiles—“modern art.” He offers to not make a speech, instead welcoming the Ph.D. students, professors, journalists, and politicians gathered in an auditorium at the London School of Economics to pose questions and have an open discussion. After the first question, he talks for almost 45 minutes, leaving hardly any time for questions after all. It’s his political system in miniature: democratic rhetoric and undemocratic intent.

44. Very interesting links.

And very frightening. I will watch the videos later when I have more time, but thank you very much for posting!

[Celerity]

45. yw!

[Warpy]

17. Pity her Mama never taught her any manners

That's Marjorie Traitor Greene, and I'd love to say it to her face, followed by "bless your heart."

Yeah, I lived in the south.

[Pepsidog]

21. AOC could kick her pasty ass but happy she ignored the freak.

[bdamomma]

22. Get Greene out

GQP grifter. Ugly looking thing. They harbor such hate.

[marieo1]

24. An insurrectionist

Last edited Mon May 17, 2021, 04:26 PM - Edit history (1)

Greene is just exactly like the insurrectionists that stormed the capitol.......She needs to be ousted and put behind bars. Our government has no place for her and she should be out on her ear!!

[AZ8theist]

27. I'm sure you meant "Capitol "

[ffr]

25. Retribution x 200%

Take action against her and make it hurt. If her conduct is unbecoming and in this case, MTG is whispering for her RW gestapo followers to intimidate or hurt OAC, she should be suspended or similar. And if dare say anything bad does happen to AOC in the coming weeks or months, she should be open to lawsuit from it.

Make it hurt!

[DinahMoeHum]

26. Greene has evidently DEVOLVED from Neanderthals. . .

. . .the only reason she doesn't walk on all fours is peer pressure.

[uriel1972]

32. neanderthals are demonstrated to be tool users

and have significant cultural practices including caring for the ill and elderly. mtg not so much

[The Unmitigated Gall]

28. Marjorie Trailer Greene...

Can’t take her anywhere without newspaper to put down.

Time for a restraining order of some kind?

[uriel1972]

33. what is the correct term for committing someone

to an asylum these days?

[moondust]

35. Involuntary commitment?

[Mopar151]

34. Isn't the new Sergeant At Arms a retired General?

And a Black woman. I'd love to see M T Greenbeer repeat those words to her!

[Cha]

43. That's right.. TY!

[Cha]

42. Excellent statement from

Madam Speaker Nancy!

Wouldn't this be Ironic if this is what got the Greene Monster Expelled!
