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’.
I agree with AOC on this one... This was a bad move by MTG.
Excuse me while I go outside and check- I think I heard some oinking in the sky above me.
