Marjorie Taylor Greene’s unearthed stunt where she taunted Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez outside Cortez’s office.
“This is all about publicity. And by the way, it’s always a struggle. How much should I cover it and talk about it because that’s what she wants? What she’s doing is so egregious and ridiculous and embarrassing and should be called out. That’s the dilemma that we face every night on the show. Should we give her a platform?”
Clearly, he decided it is worth it as he dedicated a fair portion of show to the congresswoman’s antics.

U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks her Republican colleague, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, is deeply unwell, and clearly needs some help, amid Greene s increasingly aggressive demands for a debate between the two.

Greene, a first-term lawmaker from Georgia, was spotted earlier this week attempting to confront Ocasio-Cortez just off the House floor, demanding a debate between the two over environmental policies and Ocasio-Cortez s support for the Green New Deal. Ocasio-Cortez ignored Greene s shouting in the Capitol hallways.

The political galfight between House GOP Representatives Elise Stefanik and Liz Cheney so often gets covered trivially, as if it’s about which woman is standing by the all-powerful man, disgraced former president Donald Trump.
But it’s bigger than that: It’s about whether Republicans have room in their leadership ranks for someone who is tethered to reality and ready to stand up for free and fair American elections, in which we vote fairly, count the votes accurately, certify them legally and the losers and winners alike acknowledge the results. Cheney, like her or not on other policy grounds, is that person, and whoever Stefanik used to be, she is not that person anymore.
