It is time to ban this TERRORIST from the Capitol

Rep. Greene aggressively confronts Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, causing New York congresswoman to raise security concerns

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene aggressively confronted Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday and falsely accused her of supporting “terrorists,” leading the New York congresswoman’s office to call on leadership to ensure that Congress remains “a safe, civil place for all Members and staff.”

Two Washington Post reporters witnessed Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) exit the House chamber late Wednesday afternoon ahead of Greene (Ga.), who shouted “Hey Alexandria” twice in an effort to get her attention. When Ocasio-Cortez did not stop walking, Greene picked up her pace and began shouting at her and asking why she supports antifa, a loosely knit group of far-left activists, and Black Lives Matter, falsely labeling them “terrorist” groups. Greene also shouted that Ocasio-Cortez was failing to defend her “radical socialist” beliefs by declining to publicly debate the freshman from Georgia. “You don’t care about the American people,” Greene shouted. “Why do you support terrorists and antifa?”

Ocasio-Cortez did not stop to answer Greene, only turning around once and throwing her hands in the air in an exasperated motion. The two reporters were not close enough to hear what the New York congresswoman said, and her office declined to discuss her specific response.

“Representative Greene tried to begin an argument with Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and when Rep. Ocasio-Cortez tried to walk away, Congresswoman Greene began screaming and called Rep. Ocasio-Cortez a terrorist sympathizer,” Ocasio-Cortez spokeswoman Lauren Hitt said in a statement. “We hope leadership and the Sergeant at Arms will take real steps to make Congress a safe, civil place for all Members and staff — especially as many offices are discussing reopening. One Member has already been forced to relocate her office due to Congresswoman Greene’s attacks.”

She seems to have a history of this sort of thing. Not very dignified for a member of congress. These freaks make a mockery of our institutions. They've turned the seat of our government into a reality TV show stage, much like Trump did to our White House. They defile and contaminate everything they touch.

in 2008 and he talked about how in awe he was entering the senate chamber. He had great reverence for our Capitol, like it was a cathedral to democracy. For him it was a very humbling experience and that is apparent today in the White House as well.

These clowns like Greene, Boebert, and Gaetz act like it is just an opportunity. They have no real sense of history and those who came before them. They defile everything they touch, nothing is sacred.

He was in the Senate when the institution worked as intended--somewhat. He knows how it is meant to function and serve the American people. That is already gone.
At least we have decency in the White House again.

There is no actual attempt to seek or gain understanding or have an actual debate with her.
She is the embodiment of the present day Republican Party.

I won't be even the smallest bit surprised next month when the GQP "leaders" re-install her to either committee assignments or an actual leadership role.

The bottom of the barrel has many crevasses to plumb before it is exhausted.

OF course, I DID on occasion, but the guilt would eat me up lol. I could never tell the world-endangering lies these cretins do daily.

The people calling to ignore her are way.... WAY off.

She didn’t get elected because we gave her attention. She got elected because there is a serious amount of people that support her. And we have not called these people put and publicly shamed them and cut them off from society. We talk nice to them at our kids sporting events, at our kids band concerts, and other functions. What we should be doing is acknowledging these people in the sense that we tell them they are not welcome to be around is and our children. And they need to hear it from everyone, every time they open their yaps.

The police haven’t gotten as bad as they are because we feed their egos by giving them attention. They have gotten that way because we haven’t stood up and called bullshit! Not enough people anyway.

Jan 6th happened not because we gave those people attention but because they sat and TOLD us they were going to pull some shit like that and literally here on this site people told us all about how they were just talk and would stay home and hump their guns.

Sorry but ignoring this shit is NOT the way to handle it.

Now legitimized by WaPo, even as they fact check Greene’s lies in real time. It would be better for the country overall if the press ignored reporting the GQP Doublespeak, calling antifa and Democrats terrorists and pediphiles, and instead reported on the fucking Doublespeak. That would change the headline from

Rep. Greene aggressively confronts Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, causing New York congresswoman to raise security concerns

to something like,

Security concerns were raised today when Rep. Greene verbally attacked another congress member, baselessly accusing them of supporting terrorists when Greene has accepted political contributions from groups actually on the FBI’s Terrorist Watchlist

The M$M needed to follow similar advice regarding formulation of their questions to the former guy. Instead, they gave him opportunity after opportunity to spin his web of lies. For instance (in a a simplified example), rather than asking "Did you...?" when he obviously did, when they could have asked, "Why did you...?"

But, as the M$M will gladly tell us, it's not their job to fight for what's right. It's to make money.
