Rep. Greene aggressively confronts Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, causing New York congresswoman to raise
Source: Washington Post
security concerns
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene aggressively confronted Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday and falsely accused her of supporting terrorists, leading the New York congresswomans office to call on leadership to ensure that Congress remains a safe, civil place for all Members and staff.
Two Washington Post reporters witnessed Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) exit the House chamber late Wednesday afternoon ahead of Greene (Ga.), who shouted Hey Alexandria twice in an effort to get her attention. When Ocasio-Cortez did not stop walking, Greene picked up her pace and began shouting at her and asking why she supports antifa, a loosely knit group of far-left activists, and Black Lives Matter, falsely labeling them terrorist groups. Greene also shouted that Ocasio-Cortez was failing to defend her radical socialist beliefs by declining to publicly debate the freshman from Georgia.
You dont care about the American people, Greene shouted. Why do you support terrorists and antifa?
Ocasio-Cortez did not stop to answer Greene, only turning around once and throwing her hands in the air in an exasperated motion. The two reporters were not close enough to hear what the New York congresswoman said, and her office declined to discuss her specific response.

(2,218 posts)she's a piece of anti-American shit who supports a fascist overthrow of the government.
She helped to format the insurrection. She needs to be investigated, expelled from congress and charged.
She wants to get tough with her fucking guns? We can do that too. It's time to fight fire with fire.

...............Ocasio-Cortez did not stop to answer Greene, only turning around once and throwing her hands in the air in an exasperated motion. The two reporters were not close enough to hear what the New York congresswoman said, and her office declined to discuss her specific response.
Representative Greene tried to begin an argument with Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and when Rep. Ocasio-Cortez tried to walk away, Congresswoman Greene began screaming and called Rep. Ocasio-Cortez a terrorist sympathizer, Ocasio-Cortez spokeswoman Lauren Hitt said in a statement. We hope leadership and the Sergeant at Arms will take real steps to make Congress a safe, civil place for all Members and staff especially as many offices are discussing reopening. One Member has already been forced to relocate her office due to Congresswoman Greenes attacks.
Before walking away, Greene said that the encounter was intended to hold Democrats accountable for their policy proposals.
Shes a chicken, she doesnt want to debate the Green New Deal, she said to a small group of reporters and onlookers near the entrance to the chamber. These members are cowards. They need to defend their legislation to the people. Thats pathetic...................

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) leaves the House floor surrounded by reporters on Feb. 2. (Salwan Georges/The Washington Post)

(2,856 posts)This clownish walking freak show is "surrounded by reporters" while quite possibly one of the more intelligent members of Congress has to keep walking for her safety.
AOC has integrity, honor and actually does the job she was elected to do. And she does it very well.
Marjorie Trailer Queen is more like a drunken barfly with zero dignity and just won't shut up. Yet, she's the one with all the reporters following this clown now. They love the phony drama for the glorious ratings. They could give a shit about someone with actual intellect and the substance AOC has to offer this country. Brains is boring, right? Thanks to all the corporate owned, profit driven news media.

God damn them all to hell.

AOC would kick her ass sideways in a debate about jello never mind the green New Deal. Be gone, MGT troll.
is barking up the wrong tree. AOC is a very bright person, just her knowledge would floor Greene.
This is just a sad attempt to get in the headlines and grab attention off of AOCs fabulousness

(16,561 posts)I was immediately reminded of this. It sounds like this is s.o.p. for MTG. Find someone she disagrees with and follow them around screaming insults and accusations liberally laced with outright lies, and then act all offended when they (wisely) refuse to engage. How incredibly childish. Was this woman raised by a pack of rabid coyotes? Most of us learn to behave in a more civilized manner than this long before we're old enough to run for congress. Jfc, what a piece of trash she is.

Jedi Guy
(3,262 posts)In an act of physical violence by one person against another, "assault" is usually paired with battery. In an act of physical violence, assault refers to the act which causes the victim to have apprehension about imminent physical harm, while battery refers to the actual act causing the physical harm.
MTG verbally attacked AOC. It is logical to think physical assault was next.

(36,157 posts)Greene, a rep of one small right wing extremist district, should be made to face more than one congressional hearing and repeat her words, be shown a video of her behavior and made to account for her bullying. .
The chairs of the hearings must enter her sworn testimony and those of witnesses into the Record.
Speaker Pelosi must see videos that show her behavior as bullying, make sure her behavior is fined.
Media are drama addicts. Media won't distinguish between antifa(scists) and terrorizing fascists.
Media strain to hold onto their both sider addiction.
Their profiteer owners don't care if they themselves pimp reporters to drama queen politicians to 'create content' or confound Americans.
Journalists don't do any of that. They hold no-drama on-the-record interviews, report context, and write with factual continuity.
This scene show's how the fearful/hateful won't talk with ideological opponents and then guiltily project.

(4,555 posts)There, I said it.
She is just trash.
I can remember a few years back when AOC was starting her Congressional journey. Those opposed to her had horrible things to say-she was too loud and mouthy and opinionated.
On the GQP side, there are crickets chirping over this Taylor trash. She needs to be warned about her aggressive stalk and strike bull$hit.

I hope Marcus Flowers beats the crap out of her.
