Greene attacks Ocasio-Cortez: 'This is a woman that has really no life experience'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) slammed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) as a “woman that has really no life experience.”

Greene levied the attack on Ocasio-Cortez, who has positioned herself as a leading voice for the Democratic Party as its voters grow more frustrated with the Trump administration, during an appearance Tuesday on “The Eric Bolling Show.”

“This is a woman, she’s never been married, she has no children, she’s never had a job other than working in a bar, and that was short term for what we understand, she’s never run a business,” Greene said. “This is a woman that has really no life experience and has no life wisdom because she’s never done any of those things.”

“This is why no one will take her serious as a presidential candidate,” she added.

You were married but cheated on your husband MTG. Not to be judgmental but that's not a positive real-life experience, especially when you claim to be profamily.

...the family construction business, really just inherited it with a bit of her own equity as a sort of financial sleight-of-hand. MTG also didn't get much respect for her lackadaisical management style.

People at Taylor Commercial seem to have liked Greene personally, but she spent only a few years on the job and did not put her stamp on the company. Call her on a weekday afternoon, and there was a good chance she’d answer from the gym. She had “nothing to do with” Taylor Commercial, one person familiar with the company’s operations told me. “It was entirely Perry" [her ex-husband]...By 2011, the Journal-Constitution reported, Greene was no longer listed as the chief financial officer, or any other kind of officer. A year earlier, the company had been hit with state and county tax liens. Greene would one day joke about her lack of business acumen. But it doesn’t seem to have been terribly funny in the moment.

Unless you count his experience at grifting, bankruptcy, committing felonies, failing at business, lying, cheating, and shortchanging workers.

Her background great for going into politics: international relations/economics major, internship with Ted Kennedy, start-ups helping the community, working for a presidential campaign and then running for office herself.

Republicans really should look these things up. That she only worked in a restaurant with no political or other career plans, ridiculous!

Some days she looks like she has roots and then poof, bleached right to the roots, and then she goes back again.

I know a bottle blonde who would always say, "Well, you know us blondes" whenever she did something stupid.
One one day at a gathering, her sister-in-law said in reply, "You're a brunette and you dye your hair."

Some days MTG's hair looks so over processed and frizzy that it's practically falling apart.

Keep her big mouth shut. Taking care of her children instead of destroying the lives of other children. You know all the things Project 2025 wants women to be. She should make herself a shining example.

No one will take her seriously.

I won't consider taking MTG seriously until she learns what an adverb is.

I know a lot of people aren't taking adverbs seriously these days. But when you are stupid, demonstrating that you didn't pass 8th grad grammar when you accuse someone else of having no life experience, doesn't help.

Challenge them and they either want to silence you (eg, Elon wanting to squash Tesla negative comments) or, as I could imagine with MTG, would attack back with “aw, what’s wrong? Can’t take it? Did I hurt your feelings?” Everything I remember about being bullied in school is front and center again.

Pretty safe bet that Ocasio-Cortez has a better command of the English language than MTG. Just for starters.

The skank from GA-14 has not. So it's time to say something stupid and/or outlandish, which will make the rubes open their wallets. That's the real reason Margie Traitor Queen is in Congress: to fundraise. It's the one thing she's good at. Follow the money.

She was born on third base and thinks she hit a triple.

Meanwhile she makes a fool of herself while she is a steroid addict and had multiple affairs
while married.

By MTGs estimation, I also have no life experience. I am 56 years old, but unmarried with no kids. I have also never run a business, but I have a job my whole adult life.

She is full of shit. MTG is such fucking trash.

as that doofus has been alive, put myself through college earning undergrad and grad degrees, and I did it without living off a man, unlike that doofus, who had the buffer of a man's income to "own" her business and got everything she had through living off a man.

They have no values, no morals, no plans to make America better. They are just attention whores that want, want, want for themselves. Why anyone votes for these selfish piles of shit is beyond me. It is fucking sad. America has so much more to offer than MTG.

or being a breeder, but saying so just shows how brainwashed MTG is by patriarchy.


BTW, why is she in public life at all since she is a fundie?
