“It was reported to our office … our colleague’s verbal assault, really abuse,” added Pelosi, noted Forbes’ Andrew Solender.

“This is beneath the dignity of any person serving in the United States Congress and is a cause of trauma and fear among members, especially after a riot,” added Newsweek’s Elizabeth Crisp.

“When Ocasio-Cortez kept running, Greene picked up her pace and started yelling at her and asking why she supported Antifa, a loose group of left-wing activists, and Black Lives Matter, who they mistakenly call” terrorists ” Designated groups. Greene also called out that Ocasio-Cortez could not defend her “radical socialist” beliefs by refusing to publicly debate the newcomer from Georgia. “
