Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has made it her mission to get a reaction out of her colleague New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but the question is: will her repeated confrontations cause further hostility in the climate on Capitol Hill? In this latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza explains how Greene’s incessant attacks have brought into question her own mental stability and have even spurred requests for heightened security.

How much do you think Marjorie Taylor Greene’s attacks are changing the political climate? –Chris
@mike greene mike, in the perverted cesspool of liberal lies racial insecurities spiritual ignorance scientific abuse political corruption institutional incompetence constitutional criminality and social regression, your scurvy problems are still pretty bad.
@Made InAmerica because all you guys do is harass like go work
@Sam Huff right!! By banning them from the public square. Erasing them from the internet. That’s how Democrats handle public discourse.
The fact a Republican won’t cower to Democrats demands makes them vile people, but Democrats vile behavior..like
Labeling everyone who supports President Trump white supremacist is’ normal ‘ to you.
THAT IS VILE BEHAVIOR! Disgusting, dishonest, cowardly in fact.
She didn’t start the republicon pathology, but she is turning it into a major weapon against decent people including AOC. She is making the politics much, much worse. Of course, the goddamned republicons will do nothing to stop her because they like what she is doing. I will not be surprised if she actually does physical damage to someone.
Blazing the trail for accountability because someone has to, because democrats think only of their own agenda and have no accountability for their reckless disregard of consequences.
This is what Trump people love about Marjorie, though. They don’t care and this is who they want us to be. A vulnerable nation with way too many immature, ignorant, psychotic people in key leadership roles.
Psychotic is Mad Maxine
SHE MAKES THOSE THAT AIN’T NOBODY FEEL LIKE THEY CAN BE SOMEBODY ESPECIALLY SINCE THAT CRAY CRAY CHIC MADE IT, THEY THINK THEY CAN TOO BY JUST ACTING A DAMN FOOL!!✌😂
@DAVID *MUTE!!🆗👿👋👋✌😂*
@DAVID *BEGONE RUSSIAN TROLL!!👋👋✌😂*
Qrazy Marjorie should spend more time looking for her Sasquatch cousins “The Goat Keepers” in the back woods of Georgia..🤪
@Lauren Daryani Because if politicians can’t debate their political ideas in congress, we will be forced to sort out our differences on the battlefield.
And Lrazy AOC should spend more time looking for her Leprechaun cousins hiding in trees in NYC. They only come out at night!
High Gasoline Price under Biden. Anyone Still Kissing cheater Biden & CNN’s rear.?
@Rashida Horseface not feeling to good today ??
@Yah Boy Must be quite the swamp soup !!
Envy leads to hate, hate to aggression. AoC has purpose, values and beauty. It is only understandable that the likes of Green will feel deeply uncomfortable with her.
@Stephen Farry
OK AOC’s main policies are raising taxes, open borders, and stopping cows from farting.
She’s Amazing.
@Elvin Gonzalez Using your logic, any republicans who wants to debate a Democrat is a “stalker”.
@Sniffy Joe Thanks Sniffy. I hope you dont mind, a few questions and some responses. Is raising taxes for those more well off, a bad thing? If you think so, can you please tell me why? I know she wants a top tier at 70%. If someone is earning $10m a year, is a bad idea if they pay more. It doesn’t mean they get taxed at 70% on the entire 10m. On Open borders, can you please tell what that means? And what has AOC said that makes her so bad? Stopping cows farting, I thought, was just weird and made me laugh. But as weird as it sounds, I had no idea so did a little research. And what do you know, they are not good for the environment but its not their farts, its their burps. Also a little too more it, cattle also need far more land than other livestock, they just require more resources in order to feed us than anything else we eat and all resources are finite, so what’s the tipping point for a population that continues to grow? If she can do something on this and I still get my steak, even if it costs a little more, then I am fine with that. Also it brings awareness , unless you dont agree with climate change.

Get over it. By the fall all the neg side effects from the previous administration should be dealt with and pass.
To bad Joe did not receive a surplus or economy that was not depressed. Like the last two electoral college over majority rupub white house squatters.

MTG is a dangerous lunatic. She is only going to get worse over time
@mistatk When has there been an influx at the boarder like there is now?
Trump also tried to stop flights from China…and was called racist etc. Joe stopped work on the wall and put one up in DC. Closed down a pipeline and had another hacked…also talking about stopping flights from India, and the left are saying that’s a good thing. You must be loving it.
That is all cnn does. 1 sided news. 1 sided opinions.
You will never get the full story from fox or cnn.

@Steve Austin you’re leaving out a whole lot more facts. And “contained” is an opinion, not a fact. If you want to speak facts, Obama out performed Trump but I bet you won’t accept that fact. Biden has hardly been in office 4 months. To compare his Presidency to 4 years of Trump is disengenuous at best…
@HalloweenJack When you say biden had the pipeline hacked? Trump fired the head of cyber security for saying the election wasn’t rigged, you think that helped our defense against getting hacked? If the wall worked, people would not be climbing over it, biden didn’t tear down any wall. And I’m fine with blocking flights from anywhere.

@Steve Austin Obvious troll is obvious.

Have you heard the wackadoodle comments from AOC on the issues?
We all know one thing, She is nuts. She needs help FAST. Otherwise she can be a threat.
She is another breed of dangerous Karens that must be tamed.

Green is most likely doing this as a means to secure support from her donors. Because the only reason she is there is to annoy congress. She servers no other purpose and her actions say a lot about her district.
MTG is a few screws short of a shelf unit.
Kal, yeah, but she is just crazy people. Don’t put heavy things on that shelf.
@Francis Conners I would not put a sheet of paper on that shelf
You’re giving it too much credit. It’s one screw short of some modern “art project”. No one is even sure what it’s supposed to be.
That’s an insult to the shelf unit.

“I disagree with everything in the GND! I haven’t read it yet, but once I do, I demand you debate me!” -MTG literally said this to AOC xD
She’s unbelievably stupid! And, just like chump, she readily exposes her stupidity all by herself! Anyone desiring that a case be made against her – easy! – just give her a mic and don’t interrupt!
The downside, of course, is that as an official representative of the country, she’s simultaneously trashing America’s reputation even further than the damage already done by chump…

Precisely. These people always seem so enamored with having the emotional gut-reaction position to a policy first and then finding rationalizations as to why after the fact. Hence all the goalpost-moving to maintain their position. It’s why all the “Dems rigged the election” bullshit has persisted even half a year into the new admin with no evidence.
And now they’re looking for bamboo fibers or soy sauce or whatever the hell on these “fraudulent” ballots like a bunch of loonballs with no sense of shame or self-awareness.
Her obsession with AOC is out of control, she can’t even think straight or in general.
Actually… sometimes even an average person off the street (without formal training) can see quite clearly when another person is coo coo for Cocoa Puffs. I’d have to be blind not to see it.
My thoughts precisely! It’s not exactly subtle signs that she’s exhibiting!
I suspect that if you were blind, you would still see it. 😎

One of these women is eloquent, compassionate, educated, is attractive, and has youth on her side.
And the other is empty Greene.
Eloquent? Intelligent?
AOC can’t finish a sentence without saying “like” at least 15 times.
Not really. Greene just makes her look that way by comparison.
@xps xps133 👄Because they like his polices.
@xps xps133 Sander a panders, that’s why. He knows he will never have real power so he promises kids the moon and they are gullible enough to believe it.

Which one are you? This charade is scheme to make people defend AOC, even though they realize that she’s a fraud.

@GooseEgg if they realize shes a fraud, why would they defend her? Seems we all know which one you are 🥴😂🤣😂🤣

I suggest we ALL call MTG’s office using her script:
“I’m a tax paying citizen that pays your salary.”
See how she responds. Should be fun!
I suspect she’d wrestle us to the floor and put us in a headlock.
I hate that argument so much. Everyone (in theory) pay taxes. Even kidnappers, murderers, drug lords and terrorist who lives in the country pay taxes. Why should who pay taxes be a valid argument point. Taxes is not collected to benefit the people who pay taxes…. It is for the benefit of everyone based on the opinion of the govt (whether you like them or not). It irks me so much whenever someone says I pay taxes therefore I pay you.. and I’m like no. We don’t own the govt. We pay taxes cause we are given the opportunity to stay and work and use the public services.
By the way, MTG was lying when she said, “I pay my taxes…”. The IRS is investigating her for tax fraud – trying to deduct two primary residencies from her taxes.
David, FYI, that is not IRS. You should only post comments when you know what you are talking about
