The right-wing firebrand laughed off comments made during an interview with One American Network (OAN) complaining House Speaker Pelosi was secretly investigating members of Congress and constituents.
“Not only do we have the D.C. jail, which is the D.C. gulag,” said Rep. Greene in a now-viral video. “Now we have Nancy Pelosi’s gazpacho police spying on members of Congress, spying on the legislative work that we do, spying on our staff and spying on American citizens that want to come to talk with their representatives.”
After being roundly mocked for confusing the Gestapo, the official secret police of Nazi Germany and in German-occupied Europe with gazpacho, a cold tomato soup often served with cucumbers and cilantro, Greene surfaced on social media on Thursday morning.

Why I don't think I can live with myself anymore, knowing that you might be upset.
Gazpacho is a Spanish dish, not Italian.
The Senate confirms Supreme Court appointments. The House has no role in the process.
She’s one of only about four Congress critters who is actually fighting for us, and you’re comparing her to AOC? The press is trying to crucify her for this and you have no problem with it? Sheesh.
Did the press ever deride Sheila Jackson Lee for saying the American flag is in Mars, or that the Constitution is 400 years old? Or have they ever focused on all the mis-statements and malapropisms of the lib retards in DC?
“Did MTG do anything to try to get a conservative on the Supreme Court?”
What?! Why would she waste her time on something a Congress critter had no power over? Maybe she should investigate the price of eggs in China.
Gazpacho police
How about calling them
Pelosi’s Plumbers.
Whether MTGs gaffe was intentional or not it could actually be beneficial. You’ve heard the old saying, “All publicity is good. Just make sure they spell your name right”.
My point - the facts are that most people below some age and especially those who went to public schools, probably don’t know who the Gestapo were and probably don’t know what a Gulag is.
By making a verbal gaffe that the MSM pounced upon, MTG has successfully tricked the MSM into introducing two historical tragedies to the public that result from centralized power that the TPTB would probably prefer remain obscure.
She has also introduced it with humor ( ie the Soup Nazis).
By referring to the Gazpacho Police as Pelosi’s Plumbers we are introducing generations of public schoolers to the constitutional
concept of High Crimes and Misdemeanors - ie Watergate Plumbers.
Whether intentionally uttered or not the Gazpacho Police are in the Yogi Berra league.
As Yogi often said, “I never said most of the things I said.”
Never been caught by the autocorrect huh? Since the soup is more often referenced by the software? Must be nice to be perfect like you.
Pronounced properly, as a German would, “Gestapo” comes out close to “gazpacho”.
In Spain, a German ordering this soup as “Gestapo” would have it served right up!
I’ve had gazpacho soup in Spain: It’s not bad, but it’s probably a lot better-tasting to those who like cucumbers.
Yes, I would.
I do object to AOC stupid pronouncements about economics and socialism.
Everyone says the wrong word on occasion. Everyone.

probably said it on purpose, it garnered 10x the attention if she said it correctly, cofeve anyone?
XD
I’m going with the last one there, the bit about helping the reds.
Do a search on “Gazpacho origins” and educate yourself. :)
BFD.
