Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Friday warned Democrats against forming alliances with former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), accusing the former lawmaker of being a “proven bigot.”
A student at an event hosted by the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics asked Ocasio-Cortez about working across the aisle with Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), and if she stood by comments she made in 2021 about “legitimate white supremacist sympathizers at the core of the House of Representatives caucus.”
Ocasio-Cortez said she stood by the comments, and that her work with Republican colleagues has been “about where we trust intent, where we trust where those outcomes are going.”
“I personally do not trust someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene, a proven bigot and antisemite, on the issues of what is good for Gazans and Israelis,” she said. “I don’t think that it benefits our movement, in that instance, to align the left with white nationalists, I don’t think it serves us.”
The Hill has reached out to Greene for comment.
Ocasio-Cortez also referred to Burchett, who she said has called her a “communist, and a witch, and whatever it is… But you know what? We’ve got to ban insider trading in Congress. And I don’t –– I care about results, I care about results.”
Burchett, speaking with NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo in October, talked about his working relationship with the progressive firebrand and called her his “buddy” and a “friendly neighborhood Marxist.”

Same old playbook from AOC. She's ok with tyranny if it's her side pushing it through.
I dislike her a lot.
Funny thing - most of you will hate me saying it - but Rep. Khanna is far more mild mannered and bearable even though I disagree with him 97% of the time.
My 2 pennies.
You are such a cheerleader for the old guard of the GOPe. Your hero Rand Paul is nothing but a crypto communist larping as a libertarian. How is your TDS affliction? I’m sure it’s spread through your entire body.
Ocrazio-Cortex, the epitome of the democRATs/DemoKKKrats.
Why would anyone bother working with MTG ? She doesn’t have a job anymore.
This bigot, racist crap is getting old. Too bad Dems have nothing else but name calling.
Projection...ain’t nobody more bigoted and raciss than dumblecrats...
The vast majority of women should not be allowed to hold any type of political power, period. Their hormones always get in the way. Their decisions are mostly based on emotions, instead of logic or analytics. The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer knew what he was talking about when he wrote his essay “On Women”.
AOC is all mouth...no personal accomplishments to speak of in Congress, just a tit farted ass waving mouth.
At least MTG knows how to handle an AR-15.AOC should have enough sense not to push her, but I reckon AOC thinks she herself can dodge bullets and walk on water.
AOC is a complete , utter psychpomp. Bent for self destruction.
She stayed in office just long enough to qualify for that Congressional pension. Too bad she could not maintain any consistency.
Stupid affiliations are AOC's home run swing.
Exactly….when pointing a finger 3 fingers are pointing back.
MTG is aa born and bred American, unlike that P.R.,
Straight from the Horses’ Ass
Heh, the proven moron calls someone else a name.
You go girl - oh occasional cortex.
Yes. AOC is awful. No redeeming qualities
We can all agree on this much
They’re opposite sides of the same coin. I still think MTG should have been expelled from the house b4 her pension kicked in. A republican introduces the idea giving 100% of the democrats a fastball over the middle of the plate.
Anyone else notice, among the Left, the increasing tendency to use "bigot" in place of "racist?"
I think that they realize how their verbal cudgel is losing its power to shock, dismay, and instill panic - and are switching to other, "fresher" words.
A good sign!
Regards,
I’ve never agreed with AOC on anything but I do agree with her assessment of NeverTrumper MTG ...
