It’s hilarious when a rhetorical bomb thrower is upset about someone doing the same against her
Top Democrats in Congress have discussed whether Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could seek a restraining order against GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after the Republican shouted at her colleague in the Capitol earlier this month, Politico reported on Tuesday.
Democratic sources told Politico that Ocasio-Cortez would likely need to seek the restraining order herself.
A spokesperson for Ocasio-Cortez didn’t immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment on Tuesday.
Greene has repeatedly targeted Ocasio-Cortez over the past few years. In 2019, Greene and several of her associates taunted Ocasio-Cortez’s staffers and vandalized the congresswoman’s guest book outside her Capitol office.
On May 12, the conservative Georgia lawmaker chased Ocasio-Cortez down a hallway as the two left the House chamber and accused her of supporting terrorists and “radical socialism,” according to two Washington Post reporters who witnessed the incident.
“You don’t care about the American people,” Greene shouted at Ocasio-Cortez, according to The Post. “Why do you support terrorists and antifa?”
A spokesperson for Ocasio-Cortez urged congressional leaders to “take real steps to make Congress a safe, civil place” after the May incident.
We’ve all watched the Moonbattery of AOC (and her Squad) since she took office in 2018. Remember her taking over Nancy Pelosi’s office? She starts things with Republicans, then complains when they respond, even claiming she’s being attacked in a sexist or racist manner. She can dish it out, but not take it. And perhaps Greene does take it too far, but, hey, it’s a legitimate question to ask why AOC has been supporting Hamas and being anti-Jew and anti-Israel, as well as supporting Antifa. Greene should ask AOC why she’s still taking fossil fueled trips when she’s the sponsor of the Green New Deal.
If only America could get a restraining order against Congress.
I have said for a long time that conservatives need to adopt the tactics of the fascist. Conservatives, particularly retirees should be sitting on the sidewalk in front of a fascist house or apartment building sipping iced tea from sunup to sundown every day. Do not confront or engage with them at al. Just sit there and watch. Have a cell phone so you can call the police when they attract you. As they are fascist, whatever party they call themselves, they will respond violently when their tactics are used against them.
@grad, There is nothing conservative about being a fascist. It is why communism has been allowed to flourish in the USA and why we import millions of violent people from third world countries. It is why a majority of conservative supreme court justices was never any threat to the liberal agenda. It is the very meaning of the word “conservative”. Only one side gets to be fascists. That is the political party whose motto is “by any means necessary”.
Conservatives (bless your projectionist hearts) may not know what fascism means.
Definition of fascism

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy, which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

Bwaha! Lolgf
That’s a good one-“controlled mass mediaâ€. And what party controls mass media while censoring the opposition? Remember, the fascists are the ones doing the censoring, not the ones being censored.
Americans have a wide range of media to choose from
Most choose left of center
Not so many choose fox news
How do you feel about pepe being allowed free choice in media consumption ? Should government force 50% of news media to be right of center?
Or should it be a free market ?
Stupid cell phone! The word all should be in my post and attract was stupidly substituted for arrack.DO NOT let a fascist attract you!
A member of the Hamas caucus is afraid of Taylor Green? Say it isn’t so….
Should Representative Ocasio-Cortez slice-n-dice the odious Republicun MTG when she attacks, rather than to rely on legal means?
A sensible person might ask Rimjob, dipshit that he is, “What do you mean by attack?”

“Attack†means “she pointed out that I support terrorists, the big meanie…â€
Read and use Rules for Radicals against them.
