AOC congratulates Marjorie Taylor Greene as she finally joins self-destructive MAGA government

The recent rise of DOGE (a think tank ironically led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy) has been marked by a series of outlandish ideas and zero legal authority, but the appointment of Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) to lead this non-government entity takes the cake. Greene, whose time in office has largely been defined by her chaotic antics and controversial proposals, is now free to ramp up her brand of extremism with a louder megaphone.

Enter Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), who has swiftly called out the absurdity of this move with her signature biting wit. AOC’s response to Greene’s appointment was classic: “This is good, actually,” she joked, noting Greene’s habitual absence from meetings and her notorious lack of engagement with legislation. AOC cleverly likened Greene’s role to “an unplugged controller”—a metaphor that sharply underscored Greene’s lack of meaningful contributions.

AOC didn’t stop there. She also pointed out Greene’s so-called “achievements” in Congress: introducing hundreds of bills and resolutions, only to have minimal results—like changing the names of post offices. In fact, Greene’s only real accomplishment seems to be grandstanding on a national stage, offering bizarre theories and conspiracy-laden statements instead of addressing real issues.

Greene’s boasting of her business acumen, particularly her claim that “if you’re not doing a good job, you get fired,” only added fuel to the fire. By her own standards, Greene’s record in Congress should have earned her a swift exit. Yet, she remains entrenched, focused more on outlandish claims—like the idea that raw milk holds magical properties and that Jewish space lasers are causing wildfires—than on doing actual work for her constituents.

AOC, as always, remains a vocal critic of the far-right’s increasingly bizarre narratives, offering a stark contrast to Greene’s unhinged antics. In a time when reason feels in short supply, AOC’s ability to call out the absurdities of the political circus is more important than ever.
