Marjorie Taylor Greene seems determined to be known as the most unhinged member of Congress in modern history.

While she’s already pulled more than her fair share of disturbing stunts during and leading up to her short time in the House of Representatives so far, apparently her latest involves chasing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez through the hallways screaming about her support of “terrorists.”

The Washington Post says two of its reporters saw Greene shout out AOC’s name twice in a bid for her attention outside of the House chamber on Wednesday before switching tactics and simply shouting at her to defend her “radical socialist” beliefs in a debate.
AOC reportedly did not respond, and Greene continued to follow her, ranting on about Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
“You don’t care about the American people,” Greene yelled after her. “Why do you support terrorists and antifa?”
Following and harassing people has essentially become Greene’s thing, as she infamously did the same to Parkland survivor David Hogg prior to being elected to Congress because she didn’t like that a teen who survived a school shooting wanted gun reform.

And she’s obviously learned it gets her the attention she craves the most, as she used the public spectacle to then turn to reports and claim that AOC is “a chicken” and “doesn’t want to debate the Green New Deal.”
“That’s pathetic,” Greene alleged.

But people online completely understood why AOC wouldn’t waste her time with Greene.

And the accusations of supporting “terrorists” were rich coming from Greene.

AOC’s spokesperson, Lauren Hitt, framed the one-sided altercation as Greene trying “to begin an argument,” and took the opportunity to remind people that Cori Bush already had to move her office farther away from Greene due to targeted harassment from the QAnon Congresswoman.

“We hope leadership and the Sergeant at Arms will take real steps to make Congress a safe, civil place for all Members and staff,” she said.
