This is what you do, treat them to their own medicine...

Hit ‘em back twice as hard. Ya know, Rep Greene wouldn’t have time for such things if she was occupied with the usual committee work. But she isn’t, so we can look for more amusements like this.

[The Hill] Marjorie Taylor Greene to introduce resolution to expel Maxine Waters

GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) announced on Sunday that she plans to introduce a resolution to expel Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) from Congress.

Greene in a statement on Sunday said that she will "be introducing a resolution to expel Rep. Maxine Waters from Congress for her continual incitement of violence."

The Republican lawmaker specifically targeted Waters for speaking to protesters at a demonstration in Brooklyn Center, Minn., on Saturday. Protests broke out in the city last week after police fatally shot 20-year-old Daunte Wright during a traffic stop on April 11.

Waters told reporters on Saturday that she is "going to fight with all of the people who stand for justice," adding, "We've got to get justice in this country, and we cannot allow these killings to continue," Fox News reported.

The killing of Daunte Wright comes as former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is on trial on murder charges in the death of George Floyd last year. Floyd died after Chauvin knelt on his neck for several minutes during an arrest.

Asked about Chauvin's trial, Waters told reporters that if Chauvin is not found guilty, "we've got to stay on the street, and we've got to get more active. We've got to get more confrontational. We've got to make sure that they know that we mean business," according to Fox News, in addition to making other comments on the trial and police brutality in the U.S.

Greene on Sunday claimed that Waters's comments "led to more violence and a drive by shooting on National Guardsmen in Minnesota early this morning."

#2 AOC is just a media darling. Ongoing media political comedy. SNL version of congress.

#3 More a Ron Paul type than AOC. If you look at recent history, types like AOC are pro-active, coming up with all kinds of new weird and wacky fecal matter. Trunks tend to be re-active - that is they respond to the weirdness rather than inventing their own.

#4 Pelosi won't let it go anywhere... unless she is more concerned about the threat of AOC to the Dems than the pseudo-repubs, in which case she could use Greene to do her dirty work for her...
