‘Oh, Girl. Baby Girl’: AOC Demands Apology In Angry Spat With Marjorie Taylor Greene

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) got into a heated spat with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) during a Thursday committee hearing, referring to the Georgia congresswoman condescendingly as “baby girl” and demanding she “strike” her words.

The tiff began as the House Oversight Committee met to discuss holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over audio of President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur in his classified documents probe — a subpoena the White House blocked by citing “executive privilege.”

Greene sparked the ire of Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) when she asked whether any Democrats had employed the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan — who is currently presiding over former President Donald Trump’s Manhattan hush money trial — a political consultant whose firm has worked for Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY).

“I’d like to know if any of the Democrats on this committee are employing Judge Merchan’s daughter,” Greene began.

“Please tell me what that has to do with Merrick Garland,” Crockett objected.

“Oh, Goldman. That’s right. He’s advising. Ok,” Greene continued.

“Do you know what we’re here for? Do you know we’re here —” Crockett tried again.

After a little bit of back and forth, Greene took a shot at Crockett: “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up your –”

“Hold on! Hold on! Order,” Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) cut in. “We have a point of order. Mr. Lynch, state your point.”

“Mr. Chairman, I would just like to ask the parliamentarian if your conduct here in raising money in connection with this hearing is referable to the Ethics Committee within this hearing. There’s a motion in order to refer your conduct and your abuse –” Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) said, prompting an immediate rebuttal from Comer.

“That’s not a point of order,” he said.

“I do have a point of order. And I would like to move to take down Ms. Greene’s words,” Ocasio-Cortez said then. “That is absolutely unacceptable! How dare you attack the physical appearance of another person!”

“Are your feelings hurt?” Greene asked.

“Move her words down!” Ocasio-Cortez shouted.

“Aww,” Greene mocked.

“Oh! Girl, baby, girl!” Ocasio-Cortez said in condescending tones.

“Oh, really?” Greene prodded.

“Don’t even play!” from Ocasio-Cortez.

“Baby, girl? I don’t think so,” Greene shot back.

“We are gonna move and we are gonna take your words down,” Ocasio-Cortez continued.

Greene then agreed to “strike her words” but said that she had no intention of offering the apology Ocasio-Cortez demanded.

Greene then suggested that Ocasio-Cortez debate her — an offer the New York congresswoman rejected out of hand. Comer caller for order again, clarifying for the record that Greene would agree to strike her words — although she repeated her prior statement that she would not apologize.

Crockett then interjected with another point of order, and took a shot at Greene. “I’m just curious. To better understand your ruling, if someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleached blonde, bad-built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?”

“A what now?” Comer asked, and all hell broke loose for a second time.
