  • A video shared on Facebook purports Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene humiliated New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to her face in Congress. Verdict: False The video’s caption is inaccurate. The nearly 30-minute video shows Greene making a speech about President Joe Biden’s Green New Deal on the House floor, but does not humiliate Ocasio-Cortez before Congress. Fact Check: Greene received social media backlash for taking a recent vacation to Costa Rica amid power outages in her home state of Georgia as well as a Congressional address from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Newsweek reported. Greene was also criticized by members of the far-right after disavowing white supremacist Nick Fuentes, according to The Daily Beast . The Facebook video, viewed 13,000 times, purports Greene humiliated Ocasio-Cortez to her face in Congress. The video’s caption reads, [SH0CKING]: Marjorie Taylor Greene HUMILIATES AOC To Her Face In Congress. The claim is false. There are no credible news reports suggesting Greene humiliated Ocasio-Cortez. Likewise, there is no mention of the claim on Ocasio-Cortez’s website or her verified social media accounts . In addition, Greene also has not publicly commented on the purported claim. The nearly 30-minute video shows Greene making a speech about President Joe Biden’s Green New Deal on the House floor. Greene opens her speech by mentioning how the Green New Deal is a real piece of legislation with real-world implications and not just a high school project. Greene continues, saying the Green New Deal represents an America Last agenda and truly only serves Communist China’s interests. Though Greene says Biden is listening to Ocasio-Cortez and other members of the climate police within the Democratic Party, she does not humiliate the New York representative before Congress. Ocasio-Cortez does not even appear to be present while Greene delivers her remarks. (RELATED: Is Marjorie Taylor Greene Facing Jail Time?)
