Greene did not immediately respond to Insider s request for comment or clarification on what she had meant by terrorists in Wednesday s debacle.
In a Facebook video posted Wednesday, the congresswoman made similar accusations, describing Ocasio-Cortez and her congressional allies as The Jihad Squad a play on the group s Squad nickname.
In the video, Greene said Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive members of Congress such as Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Rep. Ilhan Omar supported terrorists in their public defense of Gazans in recent hostilities with Israel.
Ocasio-Cortez has not defended Hamas militant actions, tweeting on Wednesday that they are condemnable. Greene has challenged Ocasio-Cortez to a debate on pay-per-view TV over the Green New Deal.
he s not presetending he s not angry. trump is nursing this resentment over this red mark about to be tattooed in the history books as only the third president to be impeached. no matter what his critics say advisers say he generally does not want to be impeached viewing it as a personal humiliation. you think? even in private the article continues he accepts no blame, expresses no regrets but rails against the enemies he sees all around him. i don t know if you finished succession, david, on hbo. yeah. no spoilers, but there is a scene where you see someone who is a hardball person hurt by someone else s hardball and they least take some pride that the other person could finally stand up. and you have to wonder if donald trump who deep down takes no blame whatsoever is looking alt his political opponents and saying, oh, wow they re standing up to him and saying he feels humiliated. listen, we ve talked about this in the past. donald trump is a pathological
so you have a lot of republicans in those hearings wanting to think this is some sort of farce they re uniformly opposed to because that s their political incentive. and yet there may be some who privately resent the president brought them into this mess and they have to do this type of defense of the party. there may be some who secretly think maybe it s good donald trump is getting a hard time of it, although they can t obviously admit that to their conservative base. and then there s the president and his aides themselves, david, who you know very recently were claiming and appear to be lying saying impeachment would be good and good for them politically, bring it on, that sort of fake bravado. and now you have this reporting and it s backed up by trump breaking his record of most tweets ever in a day as he lashes out angrily.
it would seem that if these redactions were removed, the underlying material, if it s valid, could show whether that s an after the fact sort of lie, or whether if it were true, there were contemporaneous letters like this that supported it the whole time. is that your argument? trump said he s the most transparent president in the history of the united states. it seems this would be an opportune time for him if that is the case and that is true for him to compel his administration to release this information which would shine a great deal of light and provide a great deal of transparency to an issue at the heart of the impeachment inquiry and the ultimate impeachment that s going to likely happen next week of the president. he hasn t done that at this point, and we re going to continue to fight in court in order for the public to have the right to know what this information in fact entails. david levinthal, thank you so much for joining.
