Marjorie Taylor Greene mockingly impersonates Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez while recounting her debate challenge
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) remains very determined to debate Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY An American First rally with a lineup of conspiracy theorists and election-deniers, headlined by controversial U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, is now scheduled for the fairgrounds as a public event.
This is an upgrade and change from initial plans announced last week to host Greene as a speaker during a private breakfast at a local restaurant.
Wilke s 14 Bones BBQ was first scheduled to host Greene and the Indian River County Republican Party, but the Vero Beach restaurant announced over the weekend it was backing out after “threats and concerns with the safety of our employees,” according to a Facebook post by the establishment.
