Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Green caused yet another fuss Wednesday afternoon. Two journalists from the newspaper Washington Post Have witnessed it How after a session at the Capitol, Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez followed into the halls and tried to get her attention. I called twice, “Hey Alexandria,” but Ocasio Cortez didn’t respond and went on.
Then Green sped up and raised her voice. “Why do you support terrorists?” I shouted at Ocasio Cortez, referring to black lives matter and to Antifa (anti-fascist groups that espouse communist and anarchist ideas). “You don’t care about the American people,” she screamed, describing it as another “radical socialist”.

On-line

It found the statements “crossed the line” and described them as a matter of the House Ethics Committee. “This is the dignity of members of Congress,” she said.

Organized
This isn’t the first time Green has made a fuss. In February, she was expelled from two parliamentary committees after controversial views of the past emerged. For example, Green claimed that the Sandy Hook and Las Vegas massacres were orchestrated by Democrats in order to limit the free play of firearms in the United States. She also liked the social media comments about calls for attacks on Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Green is a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump and far-right conspiracy group QAnon that believes members of the American elite and Democrats are diabolical.
