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.

Mike Johnson Just Made A Surreal Admission About George Santos—And Yep, That Tracks

George Santos is out of prison and Mike Johnson is now facing significant criticism after telling Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy that he'd happily welcome the disgraced politician back to Congress.

Santos—who since arriving on the political scene faced allegations of fabricating his background, misusing campaign funds for luxury items and Botox, and leaving a trail of victims behind him as a known fraud and identity thief—received a seven-year sentence for crimes that the U.S. attorney for the eastern district of New York argued “made a mockery” of the electoral process.

JD Vance Just Visited California—And Gavin Newsom Gave Him A Petty Welcome For The Ages

California Governor Gavin Newsom had a hilariously petty way to "welcome" Vice President JD Vance to California—once again using a viral rumor about Vance's love for, ahem, couches to comedic effect.

Vance visited Camp Pendleton over the weekend for the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps and Newsom took the opportunity to mock Vance by hinting at the now-infamous—though untrue—rumor that Vance wrote about having sex with a couch in his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy.

People Call Out The Industries That Only Exist To Service The Very Rich

The only private jet I've been on was the Lisa Marie, Elvis Presley's plane on display at Graceland. I've never been chauffeured around in a limousine, arrived at a party by helicopter, or had a jeweler bring a case full of diamonds to my home for me to select from.

There's a saying about seeing how the other half lives, but it's much closer to the other 1% than it is 50%.

In a Fox News interview, Trump said "I think they want us in San Francisco," contrasting this claim with ongoing ICE operations in Chicago, where citizens have clashed with immigration agents over the last several weeks.
