Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has learned not to extend his hand to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) because it will get bitten off. On Thursday, Cruz was pleasantly surprised that he had found common ground with the progressive congresswoman after Robinhood removed GameStop, AMC Theatres, and other names from its platform. AOC called the move "unacceptable" and demanded an investigation. Sen. Cruz said he "fully agreed" with her.
And AOC responded by arguing that he tried to have her murdered a few weeks back, when rioters stormed the Capitol during the electoral college certification.
One of Sen. Cruz's fellow Texans in Congress, Rep. Chip Roy (R), defended him in a letter to AOC demanding she apologize for such a nasty accusation.
"As a member of this body who disagreed with 'objections' to the electors and who has expressed publicly my concerns about the events leading to January 6th, it is completely unacceptable behavior for a Member of Congress to make this kind of scurrilous charge against another member in the House or Senate for simply engaging in speech and debate regarding electors as they interpreted the Constitution," Roy writes.
She is a powerful nut.
Can’t spank her. She may like that...
Perhaps AOC forgot about Steve Scalies sp
That Woman Is A Mental Case! She Should Be Locked In A ‘Rubber Room’!
Scalise
The other choice is a straight jacket and a rubber room.
“She is a powerful nut.”
Agree. Too many here take her too lightly.
Alexandria has an Occasionally useful Cortex.
Just giving her more press. And the press loves this narrative; anything that paints every single challenger to the election results or protester thereof will get lots of traction.
“Don’t get in a pissing match with a skunk”.
The article was a waste of time.
Correction:
Alexandria has an Outright useless Cortex.
Can she be impeached? That’d be something to watch because I wonder if she’d be helped out the door by Nanzi?
If you’re Sandy Cortez, you can say pretty much anything and get away with it. She certainly fits the description of a “loose cannon”.
Bet she got a million up votes from Twitter. Has she been shut down yet?
Read your history. Many of the most dangerous rulers of history didn’t have a lick of sense. And do not think that stupid and clever cannot operate in the same brain.
All the more reason for the GOP to secure a majority in the House in 2022. I suspect that there are several ways that the Speaker could make her life miserable, and deservedly so. Include Adam Schiff in there too.

Short answer no.
Long answer only the members of the House may remove a sitting member. This means no recall either.
