preview

AdvertisementAdvertisementRepublican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia loves to play up her opposition toward Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, frequently attacking her at rallies and even aggressively confronting her on Capitol Hill. Greene was at it again on Saturday when she took the stage before former President Donald Trump’s first post-presidential rally in Wellington, Ohio. At one point in her speech, Greene called Ocasio-Cortez “.”The crowd booed at the mention of Ocasio-Cortez’s name and Greene egged them on, suggesting that Ocasio-Cortez should be jailed. “Yeah, lock her up too. That’s a good idea,” Greene said. “She’s not an American. She really doesn’t embrace our American ways.”AdvertisementMarjorie Taylor Greene calls AOC a little communist and says locking her up is a good idea. She also says AOC isn’t an American — Acyn (@Acyn)AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSaying that her fellow lawmaker, who was born in New York, is not an American is a serious charge and some were quick to accuse Greene of racism.

For me, this isn’t even about how I feel. It’s that I refuse to allow young women, people of color, people who are standing up for what they believe, to see this kind of intimidation.” That happened a day after Greene followed Ocasio-Cortez and started shouting at her as the New York lawmaker . “You don’t care about the American people,” Greene shouted then. “Why do you support terrorists and Antifa?” That led Ocasio-Cortez’s office to call on congressional leaders to “take real steps to make Congress a safe, civil place for all Members and staff.”AdvertisementAdvertisement
