A year before her election to Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene sought out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Capitol office and taunted the Democrat through the mail slot, video unearthed by CNN shows.

“I am an American citizen. I pay your salary through the taxes that you collect from me through the IRS,” Greene says through the mail slot of a locked door. “I am a woman. I am a female business owner and I’m proud to be an American woman. And I do not support your socialist policies.”

The incidents add to a portrait of the activist-turned-lawmaker who has shown little interest in governing, but has instead used her platform to float conspiracy theories, push Donald Trump’s false claims about a stolen 2020 election and further her own notoriety. Her combativeness toward colleagues has only grown after an unprecedented rebuke where the House stripped her of committee assignments, effectively ending her ability to shape legislation.Rep.

“This is a woman that’s deeply unwell and clearly needs some help,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters Friday. “Her kind of fixation has lasted for several years now” and the “depth of that unwellness has raised concerns for other members, as well.” Yet so far, Republicans have shown little appetite for punishing Greene. They rallied around her in February after some of her past comments came to light, including her endorsement of calls to assassinate leading Democrats. That left it to Democrats, who were joined by 11 Republicans, in voting to strip her of her committee assignments.

Greene and Trump want to fight Democrats and they will get a civil war.

Trump wanna be. Not flattering

As well she should have

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s erratic behavior, odd comments, and irrational thinking are warning signs for being mentally unstable. I’ve seen this type behavior before…alcoholism, depression, and suicide.

Demagoguery is Yellow Her yellow ugliness

She has obvious mental/behavioral issues. Ignoring that can lead to even bigger problems.

Hitler's Germany would have welcomed her and her followers with open arms.

RepMTG what a piece of work you are! Devil spawn

This is not a matter of ethics it’s a matter of repeated harassment which is illegal. The Rs won’t discipline her continued attacks on other members as well. One of her targets had to move her office because of her concern about Green’s erratic and threatening behavior. ACTIONNOW

She needs to go

So passionate about her work.

Who cares?

- AOC full Capitol video AOC made clear she didn’t know who was at her door. Breathless attempts by media to fan fictitious news flames are dangerous. LIAR AlexandriaOcasioSmollett

This is a pattern of behavior that has continued since she took office. Where is the GOPLeadership with their PersonalAccountability talks and actions?

'Video surfaces of Marjorie Taylor Greene confronting Parkland shooting survivor with baseless claims'

SpeakerPelosi Given Marjorie Taylor Green's recent gestures, Given the fact that she owns guns, I think all Congress and Senate Democrat representatives are in grave danger, both inside and outside any federal building. They could be shot by Green herself or her followers.

SchoofsFeed Lol “Combative behavior”. Is that what they call it when a member of Congress does it instead of a playground bully?

Because 5th grade doesn’t have to end when you are a Trumpette.

This woman is in Congress but the GOP has a problem with RepLizCheney speaking her opinion? This is not the party I grew up supporting. Where is civil debate.

AOC deserves every bit of hatred she gets. One may say she's earned it... perhaps, its the only thing she's earned.

Meth will make you do all kinds of things.

I would not bet on this horse to win.

Lock her up!

MarjorieTraitorGreene is a honey crusted nutbar

ATTENTION SNL ...….I have an idea for another of your 'SHOW OPENINGS'.

I think she may be a sick puppy.

I’m pretty conservative, but this chick is nuts. Not good for anyone.

O tempo acabou o Messias está vindo

Talking smack while drunk....again

Could? More like SHOULD! Woman acts like a nutcase!

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene describes confrontation with AOC as 'pushing for debate'Rep. Ocasio-Cortez told reporters that Rep. Greene 'clearly needs help' following incidents with colleagues on Capitol Hill. “At this point, I think, the depth of that un-wellness has raised concerns for other members as well.” She just ain’t met her match. MTG talks a lot of shit, but she knows who to pick and choose because she’ll cross the wrong one and get that mug of hers beat. She’s not but a bully and if I was AOC, I would file a restraining order No reason for RepAOC to debate MTG cause Bees don’t waste their time explaining to flies why honey is better than shit! Why would AOC ever debate MTG? First up they are from different states and secondly MTG would not use facts or use made up ones. Sorry but MTG is crazy pants.
