Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene took to Twitter Wednesday to challenge Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York to a debate about the Green New Deal.

Greene—best known for her support of White supremacist talking points and QAnon conspiracy theories—tweeted:


"[Representative Ocasio-Cortez] I'd like to challenge you to a debate on the Green New Deal economic policy."
"Since you sponsored the Green New Deal and have a degree in Economics, I'm sure you are more than qualified."
"I just have a degree in Business Admin and have owned a construction company for 20 years."
"A debate between AOC and I on the Green New Deal economic policy would be informative for the American People."
"They deserve to hear the two sides with pro's and cons."
"AOC you can choose one moderator and I choose a moderator."
"Then we can negotiate a major news network to host the debate."
"Let's do this for The People."
"What do you say?"



Some suggested a pay-per-view could be a real money maker, which Greene picked up on.








Lots of people volunteered to debate Greene on a variety of topics.









The Twitterverse was less than optimistic about Greene's chances in a debate with Representative Ocasio-Cortez.














While some felt the best part of Greene's cry for attention was AOC's response...

Giphy


Greene is not the first conservative with time on their hands to challenge AOC to a debate.

However the New York Democrat spends her time debating in House committee hearings and meetings, something Greene no longer has to occupy her time.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
