On Saturday, Georgia Republican representative and QAnon conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke at a rally outside of Cleveland. The Guardian reports that the rally was an attempt to get former President Donald Trump back on the campaign trail and also direct hate towards a Republican in Ohio who voted for his second impeachment.

While speaking, Greene targeted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, because these people are way more interested in dragging other people down than doing anything constructive themselves. Greene has been harassing AOC on Capitol Hill for some time, which is also sort of her thing. She’s been filmed following Parkland school shooting survivor David Hogg and has been taken off various committee assignments after advocating for violence against her opponents to her followers.

After bringing up AOC, Green referred to her as “the little communist from New York City” and when the crowd started booing and chanting, she supported them by repeating, “Yeah, lock her up too, that’s a good idea,” in reference to the “lock her up” chants directed towards Hillary Clinton at most Trump events in the last five years.
AOC retweeted a clip of the rally, saying simply, “First of all, I’m taller than her.”
In the rest of her racist speech, Green said of AOC, “She’s not an American. She really doesn’t embrace our American ways. You want to know why? She has something called the Green New Deal.”
AOC was born in the Bronx, so she is American, and we can only hope she gets to have the Green New Deal. As to her height, she has said in the past that she is 5’4″ and a CrossFit profile for Greene says she is one inch shorter.
But in spirit? MTG is very, very small.
