.@AOC “Ms. Defund The Police” wants to call the police for security bc she’s afraid of debating with me about her socialist GND.
AOC is a fraud & a hypocrite.
That’s fine Sandy.
Since you lack the courage & intelligence to debate me, I’ll debate the person who really wrote it.

This follows up on a Wednesday night incident reported in the Washington Post in which Greene started to yell at Ocasio-Cortez after the New York Democrat left the House chamber, asking why AOC supports antifa and terrorist groups. Ocasio-Cortez continued walking, ignoring the social media-hungry QAnon adherent, and at one point throwing her hands up in exasperation at Greene’s desperation. “You don’t care about the American people,” Greene shouted. “Why do you support terrorists and antifa?”
“She’s a chicken, she doesn’t want to debate the Green New Deal,” Greene said to a small group of reporters and onlookers in a desperate attempt to get coverage. “These members are cowards. They need to defend their legislation to the people. That’s pathetic.”
Ocasio-Cortez’s office called on House leaders to broaden security for members and called on members to practice a modicum of decorum, unlike Greene. “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.”
