MTG's Boorishness Obscures AOC's Excusing Palestinian Terrorism

Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is a menace with more than a few loose screws. 

Stalking and screaming at New York Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and accusing her of supporting terrorists is unbecoming. For her part, MTG denies such behavior but given her past history I am not inclined to believe her. Of course, MTG exhibited this sort of behavior before she was an elected official when she confronted Parkland high school shooting survivor and gun control activist David Hogg outside of Capitol Hill in 2019. 

In this case MTG was speaking about BLM and Antifa rather than Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Regardless of who MTG was calling terrorists her actions serve only to draw negative attention to herself rather than to properly scrutinize AOC's views. There is a right way and a wrong way to criticize AOC (or anyone else) and MTG doesn't care about doing it the right way. I do.

After all, AOC has been making excuses for terrorists - foreign rather than domestic. Yesterday, the very day of the confrontation, AOC took President Biden to task for stating Israel had a right to defend itself against Hamas rocket attacks and then took it a step further:

By only stepping in to name Hamas’ actions - which are condemnable - & refusing to acknowledge the rights of Palestinians, Biden reinforces the false idea that Palestinians instigated this cycle of violence. This is not neutral language. It takes a side - the side of occupation.

While AOC says Hamas' actions are condemnable she does not condemn them and thereby denies Israel's right to defend itself against such violence. She also then falsely denies the Palestinians instigated the violence and falsely calls Israel an occupying power in Gaza. Israel left Gaza in 2005. AOC is right about one thing though. Biden's language was not neutral. He sided with good against evil.
