Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had the best subtle clapback to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s rant about her
Right-wing conspiracy theorist, QAnon supporter and Trump cultist, Marjorie Taylor Greene, has shown once again that not only is nobody at home, but the lights aren’t even on.
The Republican Representative for Georgia verbally attacked Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and it had the usual racist overtones used by MTG’s clique towards the New York-born Democrat.

Whatever the crowd thought at the pro-Trump super-spreader event, Taylor Greene’s histrionics were treated with well-deserved contempt online.

The face of the Republican Party. Any ballot cast for the GOP is a ballot cast for this lunacy. https://t.co/Gw4r9EloW3

Please, please, please explain to me how saying that a Latina woman born in New York City isn't American isn't profoundly racist. Please. https://t.co/EWTFmmUYVw

Yet again, however, the most powerful reaction came from AOC herself, with this casual dismissal.
First of all, I’m taller than her https://t.co/H6rXG66GJk

Her comment was a lot more popular than MTG’s.

It seems to me that trying to insult @AOC is just a bad idea. https://t.co/jx99e55OmQ

And you’re busier than she is because you have Committee assignments and she just has CrossFit

And unlike Marjorie Three Names, you can point to Georgia on a map.

She says “not American” because we are Latinos. She is not an America because she supported 1/6/2021

It’s not the first time Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has picked up the conspiracy theorist and neatly dropped her into a pocket – and it’s unlikely to be the last.
