She recently recounted at an event with fellow bomb thrower Rep. This was not the first time Greene has tried confronting Ocasio-Cortez in person. She posted the video of the incident on her social media. Before she was in Congress, Greene confronted teenage gun control advocate David Hogg outside of the U.S. Greene built her political brand in part by engaging in high-profile verbal attacks on people. Greene denied Pelosi's charge that she'd screamed at Ocasio-Cortez. A spokeswoman for the New York congressman also said she hoped House security would address the incident. Ocasio-Cortez's office confirmed The Post's account of the incident. Greene, R-Ga., who has had prior incidents of accosting and chasing people in public she disagrees with, yelled that the New York Democrat backs groups like Black Lives Matter, calling them “terrorists,” according to the account in The Washington Post, which was witnessed by two reporters. It's that I refuse to allow young women, people of color, people who are standing up for what they believe, to see this kind of intimidation attempts by a person who supports white supremacists in our nation’s capital.” These are the kinds of people that I threw out of bars all the time,” the congresswoman said Thursday. Ocasio-Cortez said the incident shouldn't be about her but about standing up against attempted bullying. Pelosi's comments come after Greene caused a scene outside the House chamber Wednesday when she accosted Ocasio-Cortez, according to The Washington Post.
