Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) raised safety concerns inside the U.S. Capitol after she aggressively confronted Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) outside the House chamber.
Two Washington Post reporters overheard the Georgia Republican twice call out to Ocasio-Cortez by her first name, and the New York Democrat kept walking, so Greene picked up her pace and shouted accusations at her colleague and demanded a public debate.
"You don't care about the American people," Greene shouted. "Why do you support terrorists and antifa?"
Ocasio-Cortez threw up her hands in exasperation, and her office contacted the Sergeant at Arms to discuss security inside the Capitol after the Jan. 6 insurrection -- and Greene's actions didn't go over well on social media.
Marjorie Taylor Greene calling Representative Ocasio-Cortez a terrorist sympathizer is akin to the cheating spouse who assumes their partner is unfaithful.— stonecircle (@stonecircle) 1620901128
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez knows ignoring Marjorie Greene will drive her completely nuts\n\nIt's like a high school bully trying to gain popularity & value by attacking popular girlpic.twitter.com/hmCcNwLoHD— Susan\ud83c\udf0a\u270c (@Susan\ud83c\udf0a\u270c) 1620902085
Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't realize how ridiculously stupid she sounds when she accuses Rep. Ocasio-Cortez of supporting terrorists. Remind me again, who supported the Jan 6th terrorists?— Amy Lynn \u2721\ufe0f\ud83d\udc1d (@Amy Lynn \u2721\ufe0f\ud83d\udc1d) 1620903430
It\u2019s driving Marjorie even more batshit crazy that she can\u2019t get under the skin of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez. The Republican Party is the true \u201cterrorist sympathizer\u201d otherwise Greene would have been expelled months ago.— Mel the Enforcer (@Mel the Enforcer) 1620903106
#MarjorieTaylorGreene aggressively confronts Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, causing @AOC to call on Capitol Police to do their jobs & prevent Rightwing aggression. Greene should be immediately arrested. Of course, it will not happen, given CP's absolute ineptness.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/greene-ocasio-cortez/2021/05/12/fd61d664-b37e-11eb-a3b5-f994536fe84a_story.html\u00a0\u2026— \ud835\ude3e\ud835\ude64\ud835\ude64\ud835\ude61 \ud835\ude3d\ud835\ude61\ud835\ude6a\ud835\ude5a Persuasion \ud83c\udd92\ud83d\udc99\ud83d\uddfd\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\u26a0\ufe0f\u26a0\ufe0f \u26a0\ufe0f (@\ud835\ude3e\ud835\ude64\ud835\ude64\ud835\ude61 \ud835\ude3d\ud835\ude61\ud835\ude6a\ud835\ude5a Persuasion \ud83c\udd92\ud83d\udc99\ud83d\uddfd\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\u26a0\ufe0f\u26a0\ufe0f \u26a0\ufe0f) 1620901839
Marjorie Taylor Greene chased Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez yesterday like she was a school shooting victim outside the House chamber screaming things about "terrorists" & "antifa" while AOC ignored her.\n\nCould someone tell Marge that she's just not that into you?

Hey Kev @GOPLeader, you better get a handle on the House Witch Marjorie Taylor Greene.\nThe chaos and mayhem is what she lives for and frankly after her behavior towards Rep Ocasio-Cortez, we all should be concerned.\nThere are a lot of good people in that chamber, be mindful.— W.

Wait....Seditionist Rep. Greene whose closest ally & friend participated in the insurrection actually shouted at Rep. Ocasio-Cortez that she's a \u201cterrorist sympathizer?"\nThe irony of this........— \ud83d\udda4\ud83e\udd8bRowan Moon\ud83e\udd8b\ud83d\udda4 (@\ud83d\udda4\ud83e\udd8bRowan Moon\ud83e\udd8b\ud83d\udda4) 1620903120

Just because Marjorie Taylor Greene can do this makes her think she\u2019s tough enough to try and bully Rep. Ocasio-Cortez for attentionpic.twitter.com/p9Q1TVM8b1— Brooklyn (@Brooklyn) 1620903050
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a f**king attention seeking QAnon idiot who appears afraid of and lashes out at those who make her look stupid, which would definitely be Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and anyone else with a brain.https://twitter.com/KikiAdine/status/1392779139153793028\u00a0\u2026— DorindaAVYS (@DorindaAVYS) 1620902715
