AOC Has the Perfect Clapback To Marjorie Taylor Greene Calling NYC ‘Disgusting’

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.

Donald Trump GOP January 6 Mike Pence The Trump Adminstration

Mike Pence Is About To Send Trump To Federal Prison For A Very Long Time

In a move that almost no one saw coming, former vice president Mike Pence announced today that he won’t appeal an order that he testify before a grand jury empaneled by Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is looking into whether or not failed ex-president Donald Trump tried to illegally overturn the 2020 election.

NBC News reports:

The decision not to fight the order could provide special counsel Jack Smith with remarkable access to one of the key people with critical insight into Trump’s thinking and efforts to cling to power. 

Robert Costa of CBS News noted that the move by Pence is not only historic, but it’s the worst possible development for Trump, who is facing indictment on federal charges related to the 2020 election and the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

“This Pence development today is significant and potentially historic. A former vice president is now willing, within certain specified constitutional grounds his lawyers fought to arrange, to testify about potential illegal acts by a president.”

“Trump’s lawyers might try to appeal Pence’s decision, but they keep losing efforts to assert exec. priv. with this grand jury. That means Pence could appear before Jan. 6 grand jury in the coming weeks to testify under oath about what exactly Trump did and said in private.”

“Think about what this means,” Costa said.

“The special counsel could now get a first-hand account of what Trump specifically said to Pence in Oval Office meetings ahead of Jan. 6, as long as Pence and his lawyers do not consider those conversations related to his specific constitutional role.”

Mike Pence, to borrow a phrase, knows where the bodies are buried. He had access to the innermost workings of the Trump administration, including efforts to overturn the election and the Capitol insurrection.

In other words, whether he likes it or not, Mike Pence is potentially on the verge of sending Donald Trump to federal prison for a very long time.

Crime Donald Trump Donald Trump Jr. Eric Trump WTF?!

Trumps Face Backlash For Targeting Daughter Of Judge Overseeing Donald’s Manhattan Trial

Indicted former president Donald Trump and two of his sons — Don Jr. and Eric — are being hit with massive online backlash and could also face legal ramifications for deliberately targeting the daughter of the judge overseeing the disgraced ex-president’s criminal trial in Manhattan.

Prior to the failed former president’s arraignment and booking in New York this afternoon, Breitbart published a story about Loren Merchan, the daughter of New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan.

The story from Breitbart suggested that Loren Merchan was a Democratic operative:

“According to Merchan’s archived LinkedIn account, she worked as the ‘Director of Digital Persuasion’ for ‘Kamala Harris For The People’ from February 2019 through December 2019 — which was during the 2020 presidential election. And according to the company’s website, the ‘Biden-Harris’ campaign was also a client.”

While Ms. Merhcan may have worked for the Harris campaign, there is absolutely no evidence that her father is politically biased in any manner at all.

But that didn’t stop the loser ex-president from posting an all-caps attack on his failing Truth Social site.

“VERY UNFAIR VENUE, WITH SOME AREAS THAT VOTED 1% REPUBLICAN. THIS CASE SHOULD BE MOVED TO NEARBY STATEN ISLAND – WOULD BE A VERY FAIR AND SECURE LOCATION FOR THE TRIAL. ADDITIONALLY, THE HIGHLY PARTISAN JUDGE & HIS FAMILY ARE WELL KNOWN TRUMP HATERS. HE WAS AN UNFAIR DISASTER ON A PREVIOUS TRUMP RELATED CASE, WOULDN’T RECUSE, GAVE HORRIBLE JURY INSTRUCTIONS, & IMPOSSIBLE TO DEAL WITH DURING THE WITCH HUNT TRIAL. HIS DAUGHTER WORKED FOR ‘KAMALA’ & NOW THE BIDEN-HARRIS CAMPAIGN. KANGAROO COURT!!!”

Then Eric Trump joined the chorus:

“They are all hand-picked. It is all pre-arranged. This corruption is on a different level.”

Donald Trump Jr. couldn’t resist adding his hateful take on the matter, too:

“Seems relevant… yet another connection in this hand-picked Democrat show trial. The BS never ends folks.”

Social media quickly reminded the Trumps that it was quite obvious they were attempting to intimidate Judge Merchan and his daughter and that they were disgusted by the postings.

Fox Attorneys Won’t Be Allowed To Use Critical Defense Arguments In Dominion Lawsuit: Report

Now that a judge has decided a jury will be empaneled to hear the case of Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News, the conservative network is about to face a monumental task of defending itself from a $1.6 billion lawsuit without several crucial defense arguments.

That was the topic of discussion Sunday on MSNBC when host Katie Phang spoke with Jeremy Peters of The New York Times.

“Judge Eric Davis on Friday decimated much of Fox’s potential trial defenses, ruling that Fox cannot invoke the neutral report privilege because the evidence does not support that Fox conducted good faith reporting, Phang noted. “The judge is also blocking Fox from using the fair reporting privilege because the statements made by Fox and its guests were not related to official proceedings.”

Peters concurred with Phang, adding, “When the jury gets the case several of Fox’s key arguments will not be available for its lawyers to make.”

The Times reporter then elaborated:

“Several of these will have already been decided in Dominion’s favor because of the judge’s decision on Friday. So what this does is it significantly limits Fox’s ability to mount a defense and leaves for the jury the key question of whether or not there is enough evidence to show that Fox hosts, producers and executives knew what they were putting on the air was false or at least recklessly disregarded information showing that it was false.”

“That is how you get to potentially significant and sizeable judgment against Fox News,” Peters added. “Dominion is asking for $1.6 billion and appears that, unless this settles, which I think it’s highly unlikely at this point, and has already been highly unlikely because Fox appears to be preserving its options for appeal here, this is going to head to the jury and it will be one of the most significant and far-reaching defamation suits against a major media company that we have seen in decades.”

Fox is also facing a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Smartmatic, an election and software technology company.

The first line of that lawsuit lays out exactly how both Smartmatic and Dominion plan to win their cases against Fox:

“The Earth is round. Two plus two equals four. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the 2020 election for President and Vice President of the United States. The election was not stolen, rigged, or fixed. These are facts. They are demonstrable and irrefutable.”

None of those facts are up for debate. And they could wind up bankrupting Fox.

Marjorie Greene Gets Pelted With Twitter Karma For Calling Stormy Daniels ‘Old And Disgusting’

Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is furious that her orange lord and savior, Donald Trump, has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury, and now she’s blaming everyone but the failed ex-president for the predicament he finds himself in.

The latest target for Greene’s online wrath is Stormy Daniels, the adult film star Trump allegedly slept with and then paid $130,000 to for her silence during the 2016 presidential race.

According to Greene, Daniels is “old and disgusting,” which kind of makes you wonder if the congresswoman has looked in a mirror lately and seen how much she resembles the caveman character from the 2004 Geico commercials.

Here’s the posting Greene made on Twitter:

“Democrat’s policies are so bad that they are relying on their heroine, who is too old and disgusting to make money as a porn star now, so she’s grifting off her lies about Trump.”

Of course, if Daniels is old and disgusting, then why did Trump sleep with her in the first place? Greene may think her online burn is brilliant, but it was only successful in getting her trashed by others on social media who reminded her that she isn’t exactly going to win any beauty pageants unless the judges are deaf and blind.
