Marjorie Taylor Greene challenges AOC to charity debate over Green New Deal
MTG versus AOC, over the GND?
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Wednesday challenged Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) to a debate over the economics of the latter’s signature “Green New Deal” policy proposal.
“@AOC I’d like to challenge you to a debate on the Green New Deal economic policy,” Greene tweeted Wednesday morning in a thread.
The controversial Georgia Republican also brought up her and the self-described democratic socialist’s economic and business credentials.
“Since you sponsored the Green New Deal and have a degree in Economics, I’m sure you are more than qualified,” Greene wrote. “I just have a degree in Business Admin and have owned a construction company for 20 years.”
“A debate between AOC and I on the Green New Deal economic policy would be informative for the American People,” she added. “They deserve to hear the two sides with pro’s [sic] and cons.”
Proposing some ground rules, Greene suggested that she and Ocasio-Cortez each choose one moderator and then negotiate a major news network to host the debate.
“Let’s do this for The People,” the Georgia congresswoman said, concluding her pitch. “What do you say?”
The New York Democrat never gave a response to her, which prompted Greene hours later to further press Ocasio-Cortez on a debate, noting how many Twitter users expressed excitement over a potential televised event.
“People are saying they would pay money to see it,” Greene said, then floating the idea of making the debate “pay per view style” and have the money raised divvied up between the pair for places of each’s choosing.
“What do you think?” she asked.
However, Ocasio-Cortez has yet to respond to the debate proposition.
Ocasio-Cortez’s office did not immediately respond to this reporter’s request for comment.

Biden-Harris Administration Brought in More ‘Parole Migrants’ Than Jobs Created in October
Over 50,000 “Parole migrants” were welcomed into the United States by the Biden Administration’s Office of Field Operations (OFO) at the ports of entry along the border in October. They are flown or bused into the U.S. for jobs; despite the economic slowdown. In September, only 12,000 additional jobs were created, which was one-ninth of the 112,500 new jobs that were expected, reports Breitbart.
In addition to the ‘parole migrants’ an additional 56,580 migrants– including many women and children – crossed the border illegally and were registered by the Border Patrol. Some will be deported.
Biden’s deputies also welcomed at least 150,000 legal immigrants, foreign temporary workers, and refugees. “More illegal aliens crossed our border last week than jobs added for all of October,” said a tweet from Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI). “That’s Kamalonomics,” he added, as he blamed Kamala Harris who dodged an oversight over over migration in March 2021.
Breitbart adds:
Also, the inflow of migrants ensures that employers can ignore the large population of at least 5 million working-age American men who have fallen out of the workforce.
Instead of finding, training, and paying those of the discarded American men — many of who are overweight, alienated, addicted, and lazy — the CEOs can now make more money by bussing more of Mayorkas’ healthy, indebted, compliant migrants into their low-tech workplaces.
Moreover, if Biden had not extracted migrants from poor countries — such as Venezuela or Ecuador — more U.S. workers would have been hired by CEOs to help trade with the people in poor countries. The lopsided October numbers are a PR glitch for Biden and his deputies, such as his pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas.
In September, Mayorkas spoke at a public event in Texas where he championed his policy of importing more migrants for jobs that would otherwise go to Americans at higher wages:
We look to the north, with Canada. Canada takes a look at its market needs, and it says, “You know what? We need 700,000 foreign workers to address our labor needs domestically.” And, so, they build a visa system for that year to address the current market condition. And they say, “We’re going to bring in a million people.” And it’s market sensitive.
We [in the United States] are dealing with numerical caps on labor-driven visas that were set in 1996. It’s 2024. The world has changed. It is remarkable how there can be [elite] agreement that [the visas system] is broken and not have an agreement on a solution. The country is suffering as a result of it. Communities have “blossomed by reason of the infusion of individuals from another country,” Mayorkas said.
