Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) harshly criticised Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-N.Y.), telling ‘The Eric Bolling Show’ that “Ocasio Cortez was a woman who ‘really has no life experience.”
Greene’s attack against Ocasio-Cortez came as the Democrat joined Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on a speech tour across the United States, as she positions her as a leader for her party. The Hill reported.
She has been mentioned as a possible challenger to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in his next primary.
Greene said of Ocasio Cortez, “This is a woman. She’s not married, has never had children, worked in a pub for a short time, and we believe she’s also never owned a business. This woman has little life experience and no wisdom because she has never done anything like that.”
Greene said that “this was why no one would take her seriously as a candidate for the presidency.”
Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman ever to serve in Congress, was elected in 2018. She took office in 2019 at the age of 29.
Since then, she has built up a large following online of Generation Z and millennial fans who are attracted by her boldness in Congress as well as on social media.
