AOC Calls for Congress to Remain a, ‘Safe, Civil Place’, After Being Berated by Greene.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is calling on leadership
to take “real steps” to ensure the safety of Congress. .
She expressed the
sentiment via her
spokesperson,
Lauren Hitt.
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, Lauren Hitt, via 'The Hill'.
AOC’s concern for safety was
spurred on by an unpleasant
incident with Rep. Marjorie Taylor
Greene on Wednesday.
Greene allegedly chased after AOC as she exited the House
chamber and screamed at her when she did not engage. .
According to Hitt, Greene called AOC a “terrorist sympathizer” in reference to her support of the Black Lives Matter movement. .
Greene later took her berating to Twitter,
calling AOC a “fraud” and a “hypocrite.” .
AOC is a fraud & a hypocrite … Any
member supporting and fundraising for
criminals in Antifa/BLM riots in American
cities should be expelled. That’s the
#JihadSquad and the VP, Marjorie Taylor Greene, via Twitter
