As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/05\/25\/gop-leaders-marjorie-taylor-greene-holocaust-rhetoric-490737\">Politico<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"21.937153419593\">\n<p><em>House Democratic leaders have been discussing for weeks how to handle Greene\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/05\/21\/lawmakers-security-jan-6-threats-490165\">troubling pattern of behavior<\/a>.

Pelosi and other top Democrats have also called for an ethics investigation both publicly and privately, though the House Ethics Committee has not disclosed the existence of any such probe.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Democrats also acknowledge that punishing Greene is a complex issue: They want to hold her accountable without simply emboldening her public stunts \u2014 and her fundraising. Top Democrats have not ruled out a vote on a measure such as a censure, though the House will not be back in session until mid-June.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In 2019, Greene stood outside of Ocasio-Cortez congressional office insulting the then-freshman Democrat, calling Ocasio-Cortez \u201ccrazy eyes\u201d and \u201cnutty.\u201d Earlier this month, Greene confronted Ocasio-Cortez in the Capitol about supporting \u201cterrorists and Antifa.\u201d As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/greene-ocasio-cortez\/2021\/05\/12\/fd61d664-b37e-11eb-a3b5-f994536fe84a_story.html\">The Washington Post<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"23\">\n<p><em>Two Washington Post reporters witnessed Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) exit the House chamber late Wednesday afternoon ahead of Greene (Ga.), who shouted \u201cHey Alexandria\u201d twice in an effort to get her attention. When Ocasio-Cortez did not stop walking, Greene picked up her pace and began shouting at her and asking why she supports antifa, a loosely knit group of far-left activists, and Black Lives Matter, falsely labeling them \u201cterrorist\u201d groups. Greene also shouted that Ocasio-Cortez was failing to defend her \u201cradical socialist\u201d beliefs by declining to publicly debate the freshman from Georgia.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYou don\u2019t care about the American people,\u201d Greene shouted. \u201cWhy do you support terrorists and antifa?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ocasio-Cortez did not stop to answer Greene, only turning around once and throwing her hands in the air in an exasperated motion. The two reporters were not close enough to hear what the New York congresswoman said, and her office declined to discuss her specific response.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Democratic majority in the House has cracked down on Greene since she took office. Usually, rogue or controversial members are dealt with within their own caucus, however Democrats have made an exception with Greene. In February, Democrats and 11 Republicans <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/marjorie-greene-removed-from-committees-multiple-republicans-vote-to-remove-her\">voted<\/a> to remove Greene from all of her committee positions.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Greene has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mccarthy-condemns-greenes-appalling-holocaust-comparison-marjorie-is-wrong\">earned<\/a> rebukes from top Republicans such as House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy over comments she made comparing vaccination logos to the gold stars forced onto Jews in Nazi Germany.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
