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...

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.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
