Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) expressed concern on Friday for conservative firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s mental well-being amid Greene’s obsessive harassment of the Democratic lawmaker. Greene (R-GA) pursued and aggressively screamed at Ocasio-Cortez outside the House chamber earlier this week, prompting AOC to raise security concerns. CNN’s KFILE also unearthed a since-deleted 2019 livestream of Greene hurling abuse. “Get rid of your diaper,” Greene, who wasn’t yet a congresswoman, yelled through Ocasio-Cortez’s locked office door. “Stop being a baby and stop locking your door and come out and face the American citizens that you serve!” (One of the livestreamers with Greene at the time, Anthony Aguero, was later seen at the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.)
AOC responds:
I’m concerned she’s going to burn the House down.
Here’s the video of her in 2019. I’m frankly more appalled that the citizens of her district thought this monster was an appropriate choice for member of congress than I am of her. What kind of people are they?
