.MaddowBlog: Disagreements among members of Congress are routine and unavoidable. Rep. Greene targeting Rep. Ocasio-Cortez was something different.

This wasn't an example of misplaced activism from years past; we're talking about Greene's antics from 2019 -- the year before her election to Congress.their physical safety might be at riskIt's against this backdrop that one of the most radical members in modern times chased down a colleague and shouted at her about"supporting terrorists."

Under normal circumstances, one might consider seeking a restraining order against such a person. Under these circumstances, that's not an option, because the unhinged bully is an elected member of Congress.'s Greg Sargent yesterday,"Once again, Marjorie Taylor Greene has crossed the line. It's completely unacceptable. There's a pattern of behavior. I'm concerned that if we don't do something, it will continue to escalate.

The Rhode Island congressman added,"I'm going to ask the sergeant-at-arms to directly speak with Marjorie Taylor Greene and make it clear she can't confront other members of Congress....

MaddowBlog The GOP needs to control its animals.. mtgreenee RepMTG

MaddowBlog This is the weakness of the Democrats, asking instead of acting. You don’t ask a bully for permission to punch them back. You don’t project a possible move. You take it, and damn the consequences.

MaddowBlog It has not because, well we know why..

MaddowBlog Hello- she is obviously a Russian in our American government.... watch what she does/acts and you can see Putin’s Puppet..

MaddowBlog Why is it that nobody cares to question the non actions of the US supreme court justices for not upholding the constitution? Did they do anything about Jan.6? NO! What is the sole purpose the US supreme court then towards upholding America's founding supreme law principles?

MaddowBlog Disagreement does not include harassment and unprofessional behavior. MTG is one of the worst things to come out of the Great State of Georgia.

MaddowBlog It should be!

MaddowBlog This abusive person needs to go.

MaddowBlog What the hell does the Democrat Party know about ETHICS?!

MaddowBlog She’s a disgrace to politics!

MaddowBlog This is no way for a human to act, let alone a congresswoman. TFG normalized this abhorrent behavior and now everyone thinks it’s ok to act like this. Disgusting

MaddowBlog She is a bully who seems to go into manic mode.

MaddowBlog It would be called stalking for anyone else deserving of jail time and a restraining order

MaddowBlog Maybe the ethics committee can have a sit down with Talib and Maxine Waters regarding their obnoxious talk toward other politicians. But you folks at MSNBC ONLY target conservatives. You are a news station. Report it fairly. And besides, AOC is not an angel to the GOP.

MaddowBlog She should not be in Congress because she doesn’t take her job seriously. She believes the answer to everything is aggression and violence. She clearly hates government and has nothing to contribute.

MaddowBlog MTG is as homely as she is crazy and unhinged. She needs to go.

MaddowBlog she is disgusting and needs to be removed

MaddowBlog Its what fascists do. She should be expelled JoeNBC morningmika FoxNews FoxNewsSunday newsmax TheView AliVelshi jaketapper ChrisCuomo mitchellreports NicolleDWallace LeaderMcConnell 🇺🇸

MaddowBlog Why doesn’t SpeakerPelosi get that freak mtgreenee out of Congress?!! She is a menace!!! MarjorieTaylorGreene

MaddowBlog Quit giving this miscreant attention. That’s all she wants and has to offer the world - a sick sideshow.

MaddowBlog This was raw, vile, vicious, and can pose a national security risk. It is not normal, and should not be 'business as usual'.

MaddowBlog A primary distinctive of Trumpism is to test the boundaries of good conduct in order to lower the bar of behavioral presidence. Every inappropriate act that occurs that goes without just repercussion undermines and degrades the status quo for civil engagement. Destabilizing.

MaddowBlog Let’s hope so.

MaddowBlog It’s called harassment and stupidity

MaddowBlog Probably not. I’ve noticed that many Republican leaders are amoral and seem as if they don’t care. This is in Direct conflict to their religious supporters

MaddowBlog Let’s be real on this one - it’s not a was - she has consistently been obsessed with and harassing AOC. If this was a man, he would have been charged already and for good reason. Is it going to take Greene physically injuring AOC for this to be taken seriously?

MaddowBlog This woman is nothing more than an ignorant, uneducated ass. AOC was right to ignore her. No one has yet determined how to talk to Trumpskies.

MaddowBlog She’s beyond unprofessional. Her words and behavior are just trashy. Very unbecoming.
