Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) mocked far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) new gig as “actually hilarious.”
Donald Trump acolyte Greene will chair a new House subcommittee that will work alongside billionaire Tesla owner Elon Musk and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s unofficial federal agency, the Department of Government Efficiency, which will seek to slash red rape and public spending.
Ocasio-Cortez explained on the Musk-owned X, the platform formerly called Twitter, why she believes the appointment “is good, actually.”
Greene “barely shows up and doesn’t do the reading,” the New York Democrat posted. “To borrow a phrase I saw elsewhere, it’s like giving someone an unplugged controller.”
In a second post, Ocasio-Cortez said she was “absolutely dying at those two now getting assigned the ‘privilege’ of ‘working’ with MTG.”
“That is actually hilarious,” she wrote. “Enjoy, fellas! Very prestigious post you have there.”
