Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez \u2062(D-NY) has criticized Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) \u200cfollowing Greene\u2019s appointment as chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency. In a recent post, Ocasio-Cortez expressed skepticism \u200cabout Greene&#8217;s work ethic and ability to handle her new role, suggesting she &#8220;barely shows up&#8221; and \u200b&#8221;doesn\u2019t do the reading.&#8221; She likened Greene&#8217;s involvement to &#8220;giving someone an unplugged controller.&#8221; Greene\u200d defended her new position, viewing it as a significant opportunity for transformational change in government. This\u2063 appointment occurs in conjunction \u200bwith \u200dthe \u200bnewly formed Department of \u2062Government Efficiency, aimed at reducing bureaucratic waste, which is being led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s comments highlight \u200dthe ongoing tensions between the two\u2064 congresswomen, who represent \u200bcontrasting factions within their parties.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">AOC rips MTG after DOGE promotion: &lsquo;Barely shows up&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1882925\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/alexandria-ocasio-cortez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez <\/a>(D-NY) started another feud with Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/marjorie-taylor-greene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Marjorie Taylor Greene<\/a> (R-GA) after the Georgia Republican&rsquo;s appointment to a new government committee.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Greene was named chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency this week.
