Since her ascent to Congress in 2019, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has been a favorite target of the Republican party due to her staunch support for progressive policies, especially the Green New Deal—an ambitious climate policy overhaul that aims to get the United States to 100 percent renewable energy within a decade.

Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez—known colloquially as "AOC"—first introduced the legislation during her first year in Congress. Now, two years later, Ocasio-Cortez has reintroduced the non-binding legislation with Senator Ed Markey (D-MA).


Enter freshman Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

Greene, who was stripped of her committee assignments due to prior support for deranged conspiracy theories and the execution of her now-colleagues, used Republican opposition to progressives like AOC to increase momentum for her 2020 campaign. In one campaign ad, Greene was featured with a gun next to a picture of Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive House members. Before its removal from Facebook, the picture's caption read, "We need strong conservative Christians to go on the offense against these socialists who want to rip our country apart."

For the past month, Greene—who once expressed support for the belief that California's wildfires are caused by Rothschild-owned space lasers—has been berating Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter and demanding a debate.

For her part, Ocasio-Cortez, known for her social media savvy, isn't acknowledging Greene's demands.

In her most bizarre call for debate yet, Greene posted a picture of her speaking with Ocasio-Cortez on the House floor.

Greene said she would schedule time for the debate "after I finish reading all 14 pages" of the bill.

The far-right Congresswoman's admission that she hadn't read the legislation she's been decrying for months...didn't do much to help her credibility ahead of the "debate."


 






Jokes soon came pouring in.



It's unclear if the debate is actually going to happen, as Ocasio-Cortez hasn't acknowledged any of Greene's increasingly desperate tweets and—unlike Greene—has committee hearings to attend.

Sarah Jessica Parker Claps Back At Conservative Critics Who Want Her To 'Shut Up' About Politics And 'Act'

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Ann Coulter Faces Fierce Backlash After Saying 'We Didn't Kill Enough Indians' In Deleted Post

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
