This week, members of the House of Representatives had a heated exchange on social media after Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California removed Ilhan Omar from his committee.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called out Alexandria Ocasio Cortez on Twitter, accusing her of being a coward after the New York Democrat accused her of inciting anti-Semitism and trafficking in conspiracy theories.
"In response, the New York Democrat said that she had repeatedly asked the two of them to debate, but they had not responded."
“Why are you so scared of me when it comes to debating me on policy?” she asked.
.@RepAOC I have repeatedly asked you to debate me, but you have been a coward and can’t even respond.
But you go on @CNN and lie about me.
When are you going to be an adult and actually debate me on policy instead of run your mouth like a teenage girl? pic.twitter.com/XIl7LQNu9r

The two of them then hit back, with the former accusing the latter of forgetting about their committee, which held its first debate this week. After only a few minutes, she claimed that one elementary school received a $5 billion grant to teach CRT.
She then called out the Democrat Squad member, saying that before becoming a political operative, Ocasio Cortez worked as a bartender.
AOC has never put her degrees to work in the real world to find out half of what they teach you in college are theories that don’t work.
All she did was make a few drinks behind a bar and she wasn’t even good at that, so she even makes bartenders look bad & I respect bartenders. https://t.co/1p2ddJPx2z
