A committee hearing descended into chaos as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Marjorie Taylor Greene a 'baby girl' and the pair traded personal insults in a fiery debate. The fight broke out on Thursday night as the House Oversight Committee voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena.
Greene started the fight by making a snide personal comment about Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas, criticizing her 'fake eyelashes'. AOC then stepped in and the pair traded jibes before AOC said to Greene: 'Oh girl, baby girl... don't even play.'
Chairman James Comer desperately tried to maintain order, at one point even saying, 'I have two hearing aids, I'm very deaf,' in a plea to get everyone to stop shouting.
Over the years AOC and Greene have clashed many times with Greene previously accusing AOC of acting like a 'teenage girl', calling her a 'chicken', and labelling her a 'little communist'.

Was she chicken-necking and slapping her hands together when she said that? It sounds totally ghetto.
AOC then stepped in, calling Greene’s words ‘absolutely unacceptable’ and asking her: ‘How dare you attack the physical appearance of another person?’ She called for Greene’s words to be ‘taken down’, a procedure which allows a speaker to take back or amend their comments if they are deemed out of order.
Green retaliated, asking AOC: ‘Are your feelings hurt?’
AOC responded, repeatedly saying: ‘Move her words down.’
Greene then said, ‘aww’ to which AOC replied: ‘Oh! Girl, baby, girl, don’t even play!’
Greene then said: ‘Baby, girl? I don’t think so,’ and AOC replied: ‘We are gonna move and we are gonna take your words down.’
Chairman Comer suspended the hearing while they decided whether to strike Greene’s words. While they discussed, AOC could be heard saying ‘No way is that being allowed’ and ‘not today.’ She added: ‘We’re not going to do a smarmy apology. She has to actually apologize. And that needs to be up to Ms. Crockett as well. It needs to be sincere.’
Greene later said she would strike her words but refused to apologize and went on to call AOC ‘not intelligent’.
Repeal the 19th Amendment
the MTG model for success is AOC.
AOC resents the loss of the spotlight having used up ger 15 minutes of fame
This is what our elected “leaders” have stooped to. If it could possible get any worse, I can only hope the Lord takes me out of here first so I do not have to witness it:
******************
in 2021, Greene took aim at AOC, calling her a ‘little communist’ and ‘not an American’ and then labelled her a ‘hate-America terrorist sympathizer’.
AOC immediately replied on Twitter, saying ‘first of all, I’m taller than her’.
Greene repeatedly demanded AOC debate her, telling reporters: ‘She’s a chicken. She doesn’t want to debate. I don’t think the debate has been agreed to yet.’
The pair clashed again last year, when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accused Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of acting like a ‘teenage girl’ after the New York Democrat accused the Georgia Republican of ‘trafficking in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.’
‘I have repeatedly asked you to debate me, but you have been a coward and can’t even respond. But you go on CNN and lie about me,’ Greene tweeted.
‘When are you going to be an adult and actually debate me on policy instead of run your mouth like a teenage girl?’
Where do we find such women?
Any time you can piss off a Communist is time well spent. I will take 50 MTGs over one cowardly GOP male.
It would be better if they just started fighting instead of the juvenile name calling, that way we could resemble some 3rd world country as we move in that direction with increasing speed.
Amen. Congress has become a ‘hen party’.
Watching these two go at it is the political equivalent of midget wrestling.
If these two aren’t proof cow crap floats to the top just as well as cream I don’t know what is.
Weak leadership from the chairman did not help.
Or....
Legalize dueling. People tend to behave better when they have actual skin in the game.
I don’t have a dog in this fight.
In days of yore , such squabbles would be settled with a duel. Bring back the good old days.
Too cute to represent those women ;>)
People who make an idol out of our current political system are, at this point, part of the problem.
