Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was “so beyond the pale” that it should be investigated by the House Ethics Committee. “This is beneath the dignity of a person serving in the Congress of the United States and is a cause for trauma and fear among members,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) said during her weekly news conference. On Wednesday afternoon, Greene (R-Ga.) followed Ocasio-Cortez out of the House chamber, quickening her pace behind her and shouting accusations that the New York Democrat supports terrorists and was a “radial socialist” who didn’t “care about the American people.” [ Rep.
