Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) masterfully trolled Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene on Twitter after Greene called New York City “disgusting.”
Greene traveled to Manhattan on Tuesday for the arraignment of failed former president Donald Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records in order to hide hush money payments he made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump allegedly had an extramarital affair with Daniels, though he denies doing so.
The Georgia Republican was downright rude when she discussed her time in New York, where she led a protest rally and hightailed it after five minutes when people began hurling verbal barbs at her.
Asked by Fox News host Tucker Carlson about how New York City looked, Greene replied:
“No, his home is disgusting. I compare it to what I call Gotham City. The streets are filthy, they’re covered with people basically dying on drugs. They can’t even stand up; they’re falling over. There’s so much crime in the city, I can’t comprehend how people live there. It was repulsive, it smells bad. I think it’s a terrible place.”
That didn’t sit well with Ocasio-Cortez, who took to Twitter and destroyed Greene.
Ocasio-Cortez added:
“If anyone went on TV and talked about a rural area like this, it’d be gloves off – and deservedly so. This is no different,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “If she doesn’t like the greatest city in the United States, that’s her problem. I ♥️ NY.”
That’s how to take down a bully like Marjorie Greene, who hasn’t responded to Ocasio-Cortez yet.
