The progressive representative says the Republican extremist’s behavior has ‘raised concerns’ among Democrats

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has said the Republican extremist Marjorie Taylor Greene has a “fixation” on progressive members of Congress, and warned that Greene’s behavior has “raised concerns” among Democrats.

Greene, a Trump loyalist and a promoter of the QAnon conspiracy theory, was elected to the House in 2020, and has spent her first months in office harassing Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive Democrats.

Ocasio-Cortez’s warning came after CNN unearthed a video showing her staff being harassed by Greene, then a private citizen, in 2019. The footage shows Greene, accompanied by a man who would go on to take part in the Capitol riot in January this year, shouting through the letterbox of Ocasio-Cortez’s congressional office.

“You need to stop being a baby and stop locking your door and come out and face the American citizens that you serve,” Greene says. “If you want to be a big girl, you need to get rid of your diaper and come out and be able to talk to the American citizens. Instead of having to use a flap, a little flap. Sad.”

1. AOC is being very kind -- and accurate

Greene's aggression is very neurotic.

2. Greene's aggression is more psychotic than neurotic.

Very scary stuff.

3. Put yourself in her shoes. Oh right, we would never do anything like that

Because it’s completely bananas. I really feel for AOC being a target of this blister and worry about her.

4. Greene is a kook.

I wish they’d expel her from Congress.

5. Capitol security needs to stay close to this thug MTG and arrest her the first time

she steps afoul of the law.

Then she needs to be booted out of the people's house.


She does not represent Americans. She represents murderous anti-American terrorists.


She is unfit to serve.

6. Is MTG still bypassing the Capitol metal detectors?

Can we assume she is carrying at all times?

12. Everywhere except the House floor.

13. Not that I'd ever advocate that some (other female) kicks her ass or anything like that ...

But I will say ... I kinda feel like, sooner or later, somebody is going to.
