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.
