Reporter who saw Marjorie Taylor Greene chase AOC through Congress said she was definitely screaming

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia was indeed screaming when she accosted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York in Congress, despite Greene's claims she wasn't, a reporter who was there says.

Greene has denied screaming during an ugly encounter outside the House chamber in which The Washington Post reported that she pursued Ocasio-Cortez while yelling.

The Post reported that Greene called Ocasio-Cortez's name twice, sped up after her, and said, "You don't care about the American people," adding: "Why do you support terrorists and antifa?"

Ocasio-Cortez, who ignored the incident, later released a statement saying Greene had been "screaming" and called for a "safe, civil" environment for House members.

Marjorie Taylor Greene said that she's the victim of Democrat bullying when questioned about her hounding of AOC

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene attempted to flip the script about her behavior towards political rivals on Friday when questioned about a recent video of her taunting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Speaking to Greg Kelly on right-wing network Newsmax, Greene described several encounters with Democrats that she said make her the victim of aggression, contrary to what she sees as a skewed media narrative.

"They're accusing me of being aggressive and saying that my mannerisms are wrong," she said. "It's definitely the other way round."

Greene had come under intense criticism on several occasions for confrontational behavior and support of far-right causes, most recently on Wednesday when pursuing Ocasio Cortez on Capitol Hill "screaming," as witnesses said. On that occasion, she inaccurately said that Ocasio-Cortez supported terrorists.

held accountable for not only absolutely classless, graceless ethics behavior, but rampant moronic, immature ranting.
The worst of the worst and a continuous stain on our governing bodies.
If she isn’t removed/stopped she will become
the norm and drag everyone into the pond scum.
