A since-deleted video of US lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s Facebook live from her 2019 visit to the US Congress has surfaced since her confrontation with fellow lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the latest in a series of such incidents between them, outside the House chamber on Wednesday.
The video is from February 2019 while Greene, then a conservative activist, was visiting the congressional offices at the US Capitol. She can be seen taunting Ocasio-Cortez’s staff outside the congresswoman’s locked office by talking through a mailbox slot urging her to come out.
The video was reported by CNN.
“We’re going to go see, we’re going to visit, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Crazy eyes. Crazy eyes. Nutty. Cortez,” Greene can be heard as saying in the video while heading to the congresswoman’s office.
After reaching the congresswoman’s office and finding the door locked, Greene and her associates start taunting Ocasio-Cortez’s staff through the mailbox, for keeping the door locked, the video shows.
Greene can also be heard asking Ocasio-Cortez’s staff to unlock the door and let her in as she is a taxpaying citizen and members of Congress are “employees” who “work for us.”
She and her associates signed the guest book outside the office by drawing a picture of a border wall before leaving to go to another member’s office, CNN reported.
