MTG calls AOC a 'teenage girl' over space lasers dig trends now
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accused Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of acting like a 'teenage girl' after the New York Democrat accused the Georgia Republican of 'trafficking in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.'
'I have repeatedly asked you to debate me, but you have been a coward and can’t even respond. But you go on CNN and lie about me,' Greene tweeted Thursday night. 'When are you going to be an adult and actually debate me on policy instead of run your mouth like a teenage girl?'
Ocasio-Cortez appeared on Anderson Cooper 360 Thursday night and railed against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's choice to allow Greene and Republican Reps. Paul Gosar and George Santos sit on committees, just hours after the House GOP voted to remove Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over anti-Semitic comments she made early in her Congressional tenure.
'George Santos claimed that his grandparents were in the Holocaust. That was a lie. A disgusting lie. Marjorie Taylor Greene regularly trafficking in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories,' Ocasio Cortez said, adding that Gosar and Greene were 'inciting violence against specific members in the body.'
The Democratic majority in the last Congress voted to remove Gosar and Greene from their committee assignments after Gosar retweeted a video that showed a cartoon version of him killing AOC and after Greene liked a comment that suggested then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should be shot in the head.

Jerry Brown to clear the way for a high-speed rail system.
'He has appointed all three of them to House committees - not just one but multiple,' Ocasio-Cortez continued. 'Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was engaging in 9/11 conspiracy theories, Kevin McCarthy appointed her to the Homeland Security Committee.'
A 2018 video showed Greene referring to American Airlines Flight 77 as 'the so-called plane that crashed into the Pentagon,' adding, 'It's odd there's never any evidence shown for a plane in the Pentagon.'
'So there is really no consistency here,' AOC added. 'And it needs to be very well known
