Look how many times MTG has been in the news this year and not one of them has been for passing legislation.

[VanisleGirl]

I watched the realtime session and was disgusted by MTG's behavior. It shouldn't be allowed.Comer was absolutely incompetent.

[ChipOsorio]

Even if you disagree with AOC in this interview, I would wager that MTG wouldn't be able to answer these same questions in an intelligent manner.

I am a recently retired American citizen. I was able to earn a pension to support myself in retirement. I am not collecting any Social Security. What surprises me about these members of Congress like MTG is that I had minimum requirements to be hired in my position I had to invest in continuing education to maintain my position. If I had done something foolish during my years of employment. Not only would I have lost my job, but I would have also lost my pension. Why are there not minimum standards for Congressional Representatives, for US senators, for Supreme Court justices?

MTG Has never had a bill entered and pass through She's a clown show

[TheHuester]

MTG is an example of how this government is going downhill. It’s sad and pitiful .

[monal.pendley]

MTG has only caused chaos since she has been in this Congress. Our country does not deserve this, we deserve more respect. Turn her out, let us begin to repair our country. What has MTG even accomplished.? What a waste.

[moridimafea]

Amazing what happens when someone is not reliant on corrupt lobby money. We need to get money out of politics so they work for the people.

[bawhitham]

I see the end of functional governance in DC, and I have deep concern about the future of our country, Notwithstanding, I think Ms Ocasio-Cortez is a rare bright spot in Washington. She is a genuine gift, one member, along with perhaps 25 others in the House of Representatives, who may yet save the nation, and get the US back on track.

[kathrynryches]

America needs more people like AOC, Jasmine Crockett and other intelligent, classy and strong people in congress!

[christinewarren]

"Don't start nothing and there won't be nothing"

[tdbourneproductions]

MTG is jealous that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is more intelligent, articulate, caring, and actually achieving goals and creating needed change for her constituents.

[Lonelyweirdo]

honestly, I love AOC. I hope she never changes. Never let these gremlins get away with the crap they try to pull off

[msaar]

This is how integrity looks like. Readiness to accept law as it is, not as it suits to you.

[uNails]

She's always composed and professional. To better days and brighter futures with you guiding the way Miss Ocasio-Cortez!

[ministerofdarkness]

Please Georgia! Get rid of this awful embarrassment to your state legislature.

[felicialawrence]

Thank you for coming to rep. Jasmine Crockett’s defense!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[simplymeh]

I took down MTG's words - how utterly offensive and COmer is a COWARD I guess he is a fraid of MTG

[beardown]

"Ogre" an absolutely perfect description

[soniaz]

Not fair they ruled it was ok for to leave personal insults on the record. MGT is not a person who needs to be in public service. She is working for an agenda and not for the people.
