Pelosi condemns Marjorie Taylor Greene's 'verbal assault' on AOC, suggests ethics violation

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi chastised Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for her "verbal assault" of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and said the Republican's "egregious" behavior may rise to the level of an ethics violation. 

"It's so beyond the pale of anything that is in keeping with bringing honor to the House, or not bringing dishonor to the House," Pelosi, D-Calif., said Thursday of Greene's conduct. "It's so beyond the pale that … it probably is a matter for the Ethics Committee." The Washington Post reported that Greene called out to Ocasio-Cortez as they left the House chamber late Wednesday afternoon. When the progressive Democrat kept walking, Greene reportedly picked up her pace and began shouting at her about supporting Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Greene also brought up her desire to debate Ocasio-Cortez about her "radical socialist" beliefs, the paper said.
