‘She Ain’t Worth It’: AOC Intervenes to Stop Jamaal Bowman from Throwing Down with Marjorie Taylor Greene
Encounter between Democrat and Republican spills out on Capitol steps
It was up to Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to break up a verbal tussle Wednesday between hard right congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and fellow New York progressive Jamaal Bowman out in front of the Capitol Building.
Bowman began by heckling Rep George Santos, perennial liar and recently indicted Republican congressman from New York as he spoke to the press.
But the situation — caught on camera — quickly turned to an encounter between Bowman and Greene.
Bowman implored Greene, the conspiracy-minded congresswoman from Georgia, to help expel Santos from Congress.
“Expel him. Save the party. Your party’s hanging by a thread!” Bowman told Greene, referring to the Republican Party.
Which is how the bickering-like began between the two lawmakers.
An excerpt of their back-and-forth:
BOWMAN: “Expel him. Save the party. Your party’s hanging by a thread!”
TAYLOR GREENE: “No, we gotta get rid of Biden. Save the country!”
BOWMAN: “You’re party’s hanging by a thread!”
TAYLOR GREENE: “Impeach Biden. Impeach Biden! Impeach Biden!”
BOWMAN: “You gotta save the party. Listen, no more QAnon, no more MAGA.”
TAYLOR GREENE: “No more CNN.”
BOWMAN: “No more debt ceiling nonsense. Come on, now! Save the party!”
TAYLOR GREENE: “No, we gotta save the country! Impeach Biden! Save the country.”
BOWMAN: “Save America. Save the children. Do something about guns.”
TAYLOR GREENE: “Right. So close the border. Close the border. Save the children.”
BOWMAN: “The border is — the border is the way Trump left it! What are you talking about?”
Taylor Greene: “Hey, where are all the kids?”
BOWMAN: “What kids?!”
TAYLOR GREENE: “The migrant children. You guys have lost them.”
BOWMAN: “We’re accepting them. We love them.”
TAYLOR GREENE: “No, you lost them.”
BOWMAN: “We love the migrant children. What do you mean lost them?”
TAYLOR GREENE: “There’s tens of thousands missing. You can’t find them?”
BOWMAN: “What are you talking about? What are you talking about?”
TAYLOR GREENE: “Yeah, migrant children missing. You don’t know the news. Oh, you are sadly misinformed. Hey, let me tell you something. You’re not very smart.”
It was at this point of the congresswoman — known for spreading bizarre conspiracy theories like Jewish-owned lasers in outer space — insulting Bowman that Ocasio-Cortez came upon the scene and pulled her Democratic friend away from the encounter.
“She ain’t worth it, bro,” Ocasio-Cortez counseled.
“Save the party!” Bowman said, briefly persisting against Greene before Ocasio-Cortez repeated, “She ain’t worth it. She ain’t worth it,” and succeeded in ending the face-off.
