Greene searched Capitol office building for Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, 2019 video shows

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/greene-searched-capitol-office-building-for-rep-ocasio-cortez-2019-video-shows/ar-BB1gJTBm

Less than two years before Marjorie Taylor Greene became a member of Congress, she walked the halls of a congressional office building with a few men searching for a new Democratic congresswoman from New York named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

A deleted video from February 2019 unearthed by CNN shows Greene arriving at Ocasio-Cortez’s office door to find it locked. She, and the men with her, then taunt the congresswoman’s staff through a mail slot and defile her guest book, all while mocking Ocasio-Cortez.

“You need to stop being a baby and stop locking your door and come out and face the American citizens that you serve,” Greene said. “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 just having to use a flap, a little flap, it’s kind of like crazy. Sad.”

One of the men in Greene’s group, Anthony Aguero, was inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 when supporters of former president Donald Trump stormed the building, according to CNN. In the 2019 video, Greene says more conservatives should come to Washington and confront lawmakers.

“I mean, this is a woman that’s deeply unwell. And clearly needs some help,” Ocasio-Cortez said Friday when asked about the video. “Her kind of fixation has lasted for several years now.”
