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 congresswoman’s 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 don’t 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.

Empty Graymatter is quickly moving up the list.....

[dweller]

2. This

will not end well ... security should keep an eye on that Neanderthal Greene

✌🏻

[Grokenstein]

3. This is Congress, not a teabagger town hall.

Greene isn't going to stop. Toss her out.

[hadEnuf]

47. She's not a congress person

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.

[onetexan]

53. The idiot is trying to pick a fight w AOC. Clearly the idiot is outmatched.

AOC's reaction is 100% exactly correct - dont give the idiot the time of day & an opp to harrass to try to make a name for herself. AOC's ignoring her says i dont have ttime for trash like u.

[hadEnuf]

56. In this instance AOC did the right thing.

But scum like MTG need to fully understand that their bullying bullshit will not be tolerated

[Marcuse]

73. Had she taken the bait she could have been Trayvoned.

[hadEnuf]

76. Maybe Taylor-Greene should be worried about being Babbitted instead.

[riversedge]

4. "She's a chicken, she doesn't want to debate the Green New Deal," she said to a small group of repor

As she no self respectability?? This is shameful behavior for a congresswoman. whow. just whow!!

...............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 Greene’s attacks.”

Before walking away, Greene said that the encounter was intended to hold Democrats accountable for their policy proposals.

“She’s a chicken, she doesn’t 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. That’s pathetic.”..................

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

[Mr. Evil]

15. That's a large part of the problem.

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.

[Jim_S]

20. You are SO corret.

The 'lame stream' corporate media is a huge problem. I lay much of what has happened right in their collective laps.

[SergeStorms]

26. Just like they covered....

Dumpf's every move, gave him countless hours of free publicity, now they're doing it all over again with the Greene creature. Crazy sells, stupid sells, confrontation sells, and the media isn't going to be miss a second of MTG's craziness.

God damn them all to hell.

[druidity33]

33. They follow Rep Green because...

she's more likely to cause a scene spontaneously. She could say something monumentally stupid AT ANY MOMENT! Truly. They are probably following Rep Green and checking AOCs twitter at the same time.

[live love laugh]

65. +1

[Probatim]

54. She's a loaded gun waiting to go off.

A sharp question from one of the female reporters behind her could lead to a fistfight in the hallway.

Her downfall in Congress is going to be spectacular.

[littlemissmartypants]

70. Welcome to DU, Probatim. nt

[Probatim]

71. Thanks LMSP - it's nice to be welcomed.

[littlemissmartypants]

72. ❤ nt

[bdamomma]

62. Yuck look

at the outfit she has on, no class. She is a instigator.

[Midnight Writer]

5. Marjorie's going for a leadership position in the GOP.

[Hekate]

6. Greene is a troll who harasses people specifically to get them to react on camera...

AOC is handling her correctly, and really, MTG should be censured by Congress and informed that her 15 minutes are up.

[lagomorph777]

77. Like this:

[DURHAM D]

7. Ugly inside and out. nt

[mahina]

13. I mean so, so, so ugly.

Leopard print wearing, Republican face-eating, no-taste-having, half a brain cell -rattling, nonsense-spewing hatchet.

AOC would kick her ass sideways in a debate about jello never mind the green New Deal. Be gone, MGT troll.

[bdamomma]

63. Greene

is barking up the wrong tree. AOC is a very bright person, just her knowledge would floor Greene.

[mahina]

64. 100%

This is just a sad attempt to get in the headlines and grab attention off of AOC’s fabulousness

[SunSeeker]

8. What's wrong Marjorie, couldn't find any teenage school shooting survivors to harass?

[2naSalit]

37. Seems to be her MO...

Running behind someone and screaming bullshit at and about them.

[IcyPeas]

9. Remember when she chased David Hogg, Parkland shooting survivor, down the street:

Link to tweet

?s=19

[ShazzieB]

11. Great minds think alike!

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.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

10. Do any of the crazy Q people know what Antifa actually is?

Antifa(scist)? Q-anon are clueless and vile racists.

[Judi Lynn]

14. If she keeps getting ignored, she'll probably start chasing cars. Vroom. 🚗 🚙 🚕 🚐 🚓 🚜 🚒

[2naSalit]

38. ...

[oldsoftie]

43. Maybe she'll catch one....

[The Unmitigated Gall]

16. Marjorie's Trailer is Greene

With accumulated booger-snots,
And other filthy-nasties.
I have it on good authority.

[Blue Owl]

17. MTG is tRump's Trollup of Tyranny

[Frustratedlady]

18. Someone in leadership needs to get control of MTG or remove her.

She is a dangerous hussy and nothing good is going to come of her in Congress.

[oldsoftie]

44. Word in GA is they will try to redraw her district

to make it harder to get re elected.
She only got in by a fluke; her opposition dropped out

[moose65]

48. She would have won anyway

But her crazy supporters harassed her Democratic opponent so much that his wife left him, and he had to move to save his sanity.

Hopefully even the Republicans are getting tired of her, though.

[ck4829]

19. "DEBATE ME!"

[byronius]

21. Please proceed, Representative Fascist.

They're never going to get this stain out.

Ever.

[vlyons]

22. Greene's hostile aggression shows just how neurotic she is

and because she's followed by reporters, she can't resist the urge to act out her aggression to get attention and show off. All just so much ego self-grasping

[SergeStorms]

27. Remind you of anyone else?

The out of control ego, never misses a chance to plant herself in front of a camera? She's going to have to have her lips surgically removed from Dumpf's ass.

[DanieRains]

23. I Just Went To Act Blue And Gave AOC A Contribution - So There

MTG is doing this to get donations from the droolers.

I can play this game too.

[NBachers]

24. She's a lunatic stalker and harasser, and needs to be censured and reined in.

[muriel_volestrangler]

25. Doonesbury called this three weeks ago

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215372156



"What are you doing?"
"Creating content. I need you to over-react."

[burrowowl]

29. Great toon!

[JI7]

28. She did the same thing to student survivors of school shootings

[Kid Berwyn]

46. Seems to be working.

More she trolls, the more money she raises.

If only there were a better way to fund the electoral process?

[raccoon]

30. They are both doing the right thing by ignoring this rude, obnoxious idiot. Nt

[SwannieK]

69. The sexual pervert and the loony bird

Now we know why she and Gaetz are taking their freak show on the road...they are the perfect couple: he is a child molester and she acts like an out of control ten year old brat

[LittleGirl]

31. Greene doesn't hold a candle to AOC's educational history

She doesn’t even know what Free Speech means!
There are consequences for that speech ! Grow up Greene.

[quakerboy]

32. Confronts? Sounds more like stalking

[twodogsbarking]

34. Remember Jan 6.

They are the terrorists.

[ShepKat]

35. DAM

That bitch gotta go. I would think this would constitute as assault.

[Jedi Guy]

49. You have a very peculiar definition of "assault." N/T

[ShepKat]

75. really ?

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.

[bucolic_frolic]

36. Sounds like trying to start an argument

Calming meds are indicated.

[2naSalit]

39. I think I'm going to start sending her doggie downers...

On a regular basis, and maybe some meds for dogs in heat.

[bucolic_frolic]

42. Gun humpers in perpetual rut with their power

She's the exact opposite of a thinking Congressperson

[Fullduplexxx]

40. Green supports the terrorists who killed Capitol police and tried to overthrow the government

[ancianita]

41. Marjorie Taylor Greene's dramatic accusations should be read into the Congressional Record.

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.

[Karma13612]

45. MTG is Taylor Trash

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.

[Bayard]

50. That's certainly conduct unbecoming in Congress

You don't try to debate on the sidewalk. Take it to the House floor.

[IamHappy]

51. News Media should stop reporting on her until/if she does something important/meaningful.

If not just go to the school yard and report on the kids.

[Paladin]

52. MTG is going to get somebody killed, if she isn't immediately stopped.

She provides daily evidence that she's unworthy of holding public office. Throw her out.

[Warpy]

55. At this rate, she's going to end up in jail before her term is finished

She absolutely cannot conceive of disagreeing with somebody without demonizing them, which is the rot infecting most of that party these days.

[AncientOfDays]

57. Confront is wrong word

Harassed, stalked, accused, maybe. "Confront" suggests AOC is in the wrong.

[Mopar151]

58. Nazis need punching!

It's a matter of communication. To those who have abandoned decency and civil behavior, A very visceral response is necessary.

Or a one on one chat with the new Sergeant At Arms.......

[haele]

59. Time for a drug test. That's the sort thing tweakers and 'roid ragers do.

What did she and Matt do on their road trip?
She's acting like a wannabe queen bee in Middle school.
Just an observation.

Haele

[bdamomma]

61. Greene

what a waste she is, no fucking class at all. Oh boy, if someone yelled and addressed another Congresswoman with "Hey" I would had some choice words for Greene.

I hope Marcus Flowers beats the crap out of her.

[AllaN01Bear]

66. probably an explitive deleted .

[tblue37]

67. It's her standard operating procedure:

74. This mutt Greene needs to be muzzled, and shown her place. nt
