Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez came under fire from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for her alleged hypocrisy on war policy, revealing the Democrat’s shifting position on military operations based on the president’s orders. The straightforward “Shut up, you pathetic little hypocrite” rebuke from the Georgia Republican demonstrates how the progressive Squad member silently supports Biden’s similar military interventions while loudly denouncing Trump’s actions.
MTG Exposes AOC’s War Policy Double Standard
Greene unleashed a blistering critique against Ocasio-Cortez, highlighting the New York Democrat’s shifting anti-war positions based solely on partisan politics. The confrontation erupted after AOC condemned former President Trump’s military actions while supporting similar operations under President Biden.

The fiery exchange between the two representatives reveals a deeper divide in Congress regarding America’s military engagements abroad. Greene’s frustration stems from witnessing colleagues like AOC condemn unauthorized military strikes when ordered by Republican presidents while remaining silent when Democrats authorize identical actions.
Democrat Hypocrisy on Full Display
“Shut up, you pathetic little hypocrite. YOU fully supported our military and IC running the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. And you VOTED to fund the Ukraine war under your President with dementia. You don’t get to play anti-war and moral outrage anymore,” Greene stated directly to Ocasio-Cortez.

Greene’s comments specifically targeted AOC’s previous vote to fund the Ukraine conflict, which stands in stark contrast to her current anti-war positioning. The Georgia Republican made it abundantly clear that she disapproved of unauthorized bombing decisions regardless of which president orders them, maintaining consistency in her America First foreign policy stance.
Constitutional Questions About War Powers
The core of the dispute centers on constitutional authority for military action, with both representatives questioning presidential power to conduct strikes without congressional approval. Ocasio-Cortez had proclaimed: “The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and grounds for impeachment.”
Greene similarly expressed her disapproval of unauthorized military actions but called out Democrats’ selective outrage. The confrontation underscores a fundamental divide between America First policy advocates who consistently oppose foreign entanglements and establishment politicians who adjust their war stance based on which party controls the White House.
This heated exchange exemplifies the growing frustration among conservative lawmakers with progressive Democrats’ disingenuous anti-war posturing. The dispute between Greene and Ocasio-Cortez reflects broader tensions in Congress over America’s proper role in international conflicts and the constitutional limits on presidential war powers.
