Washington (Associated Press)-Marjorie Taylor Greene searched for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the Capitol Office a year before being elected to Congress. ), mocking New York Democrats for “getting rid of diapers” and “talking to American citizens,” as shown in a video released by CNN on Friday.

“I am an American citizen. I pay my salary through the taxes you collect from me through the Internal Revenue Service. “I am a woman. I am a female business owner and I am proud to be an American woman. And I do not support your socialist policy. “

The Georgia Republican continued: “If you want to be a big girl, you need to get rid of diapers and come out to talk to American citizens.” In the video, two men appeared with her and mocked Ocasio-Cortez and her through the mail slot staff of.

freed Self-deleted videoOriginally aired on Facebook Live in February 2019, the same week Greene left the House of Representatives with Ocasio Cortez, he shouted that the Democratic Party supports “terrorists” instead of “concerns” American”. Washington post”. She has been challenging Ocasio-Cortez’s debates on Twitter, a request that Ocasio-Cortez has always ignored.

When asked about the “background” of the 2019 video on Friday, Green told reporters: “Go to the side and talk to members of Congress who serve taxpayers. Now we don’t even allow taxpayers to talk to us. That’s context. “

These incidents added a portrait of a activist turned legislator who showed little interest in governing, but instead used her platform to float conspiracy theories and overthrow Donald Trump’s claims about the theft of the 2020 election. False claims and further aggravated her own notoriety. Her fighting spirit against her colleagues only strengthened after unprecedented accusations. The House of Representatives stripped her of her committee positions, effectively terminating her ability to make laws.

Another conflict on Friday involved one of her staff members.

Rep. Eric Swalwell said that one of Green’s staff members yelled to take off his mask after leaving the House floor, which was an unusual violation of etiquette. Although the CDC has relaxed its guidelines for wearing masks for vaccinated people, many lawmakers continue to wear them and still need to be worn on the floor of the house.

“When I left the floor, I put on a mask. @mtgreenee’s assistant yelled at me to take off my mask. Swalwell tweeted: “No one is bullied by wearing a mask. “So I told the bully what I thought of his orders.” “

Green said on Twitter on Friday that she had witnessed the confrontation and claimed: “No one was yelling.”

Green’s actions shocked some members of Congress. After the deadly scene of a mob of Trump supporters attempting to overthrow the 2020 election, which swept across the Capitol on January 6, people’s feelings remained unresolved.

Ocasio-Cortez told reporters on Friday: “This woman is very unwell and obviously needs some help.” “Her type of fixation has been going on for several years.” The depth of this discomfort has also aroused the attention of other members.”

Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (Nancy Pelosi) stated that Green’s actions were “beyond the surface” and increased the possibility of ethics investigations.

Pelosi said on Thursday: “This is under the dignity of those who serve in the U.S. Congress. It is the cause of trauma and fear among members, especially after the riots.”

However, so far, Republicans are not willing to punish Green. After some of her past remarks came to light, including her call for the assassination of leading Democrats, they gathered around her in February. The rest are Democrats, who participated in the vote with 11 Republicans and stripped her of her committee position.

As a congressional candidate, Green used a gun to post a photo of himself on Ocasio-Cortez and Democratic representative, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota in 2020. Omar and Rashida Tlaib in Michigan.

Before being elected, she also supported Facebook posts, advocating violence against the Democratic Party and the FBI. One suggested shooting Pelosi in the head. In response to posts that increased the prospects of former President Barack Obama’s hanging, Green stated that “the stage is ready.”

In a 2018 Facebook post, she speculated that the “laser or blue beam” controlled by a left-wing cabal tied to a powerful Jewish family might be the cause of the California wildfires.

In February 2019, Green appeared in another online video shot by the U.S. Capitol, arguing that Omar and Tlaib were not “real official” members of Congress because they did not take the oath of office to the Bible. Both women are Muslims.
