A fierce political clash has erupted between Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, centering on U.S. military involvement abroad and alleged hypocrisy in anti-war stances. Greene publicly lambasted Ocasio-Cortez, accusing her of political opportunism for condemning recent military actions while previously supporting similar interventions under Biden’s administration. What does this exchange reveal about Congress’s approach to military intervention?
Greene Challenges AOC’s Anti-War Credentials
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) launched a scathing attack against Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) over perceived inconsistencies in her stance on U.S. military actions. The Georgia Republican directly addressed Ocasio-Cortez in a public statement, calling her a “pathetic little hypocrite” for condemning military strikes while previously supporting U.S. involvement in Ukraine.
Greene’s criticism came after AOC suggested that recent military actions constituted grounds for impeachment. “Shut up you pathetic little hypocrite,” Greene wrote, “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.”
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 clearly grounds for impeachment.

Conflicting Views on Presidential War Powers
The confrontation between the two representatives highlights significant disagreements regarding constitutional limitations on presidential military authority. Ocasio-Cortez condemned recent bombing decisions as “a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers,” stating that these actions “impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.”
Greene made it clear she was “not thrilled” with decisions to conduct military strikes, echoing concerns about authorization and constitutionality. However, her primary focus remained on exposing what she perceived as double standards in Democratic positions on military intervention under different administrations.
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. https://t.co/v1xor2ARpa

Party Divisions on Foreign Military Engagement
This public dispute underscores broader divisions within Congress regarding America’s role in international conflicts. Greene has consistently opposed U.S. funding for Ukraine, positioning herself among Republicans who advocate for reducing American military commitments abroad.
AOC and several Democratic colleagues have suggested impeachment proceedings for ordering military actions without congressional approval. Greene’s criticism highlights what many conservatives view as a politically convenient shift in Democratic anti-war positioning, depending on which party controls the White House.
