Just days after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene verbally accosted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as they were leaving the House floor, a video surfaced showing Greene attempting to harass Ocasio-Cortez through her locked office door. In the video, taken in 2019 before Greene was a member of Congress, Greene and the men with her pound on the office door and mock Ocasio-Cortez, calling her “crazy eyes” and a “baby.” One of the men with her, Anthony Aguero, was part of the mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6th.
In what other workplace would routine harassment of and threats against a colleague be tolerated? Someone like Greene, who has clearly harbored an aggressive fixation with Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive lawmakers for years, should not be allowed in the halls of Congress. Her harassment already forced Rep. Cori Bush to move her office away from Greene’s for safety concerns. Greene poses a clear danger to her colleagues. Stripping her of her committee assignments is not enough. She must be expelled.
