The two representatives, both known by their three initials, had it out on Twitter.
Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez,(D-NY), known as AOC, and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), known as MTG, sit on opposite sides of the aisle, and they are both known for being outspoken for their particular political parties.
AOC (Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez) went on CNN, where she called out MTG (Marjorie Taylor Greene) for “regularly trafficking in Anti-Semitic conspiracy theories” and “inciting Anti-Semitism” MTG took to Twitter to complain and ask AOC for a debate.
MTG Takes Aim
She wrote, “@RepAOC I have repeatedly asked you to debate me, but you have been a coward and can’t even respond. But you go on @CNN and lie about me. When are you going to be an adult and actually debate me on policy instead of run your mouth like a teenage girl?”

AOC Claps Back
Wrong move! AOC took to Twitter to respond.
She wrote, “Hey there! In case you forgot, we sit on the same committee, which debated for the first time this week. I don’t blame you if you forgot. You spent almost no time there. In the few minutes you did show up, you claimed one elementary school got *$5 billion dollars* to teach CRT.”

Another commented on the CRT claims, “Yo, 5 MILLION? Okay, I’ll teach CRT for half that to animals in the street, people at Walmart etc. who needs my CashApp?”
