I think we all know who would win this debate.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene in her latest tweet challenged Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to a live debate on the Green New Deal.
Greene went on to challenge AOC by saying “since you sponsored the Green New Deal and have a degree in Economics, I’m sure you are more than qualified”.
AOC has yet to respond to the challenge.
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.
They deserve to hear the two sides with pro’s and cons.
Cont’d…

The New York Post covered the story, see what details they shared:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has challenged Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to a live, televised debate on the economic policy behind the Green New Deal.
Greene (R-Ga.) pitched the idea Wednesday via Twitter, telling her fellow lawmaker she’d like to debate “Green New Deal economic policy.”
“Since you sponsored the Green New Deal and have a degree in Economics, I’m sure you are more than qualified,” Greene continued.
“I just have a degree in Business Admin and have owned a construction company for 20 years.”

The Hill didn’t stay behind and had these details to share:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) challenged Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) to a debate about the Green New Deal in a series of tweets on Wednesday.
Greene said that with her degree in business administration and experience running a company and Ocasio-Cortez’s degree in economics, a debate “would be informative for the American People.”
Greene said she and Ocasio-Cortez could each pick a moderator.
The debate would be on a major news network negotiated between the two, Greene said.
Ocasio-Cortez has been a leading proponent of the Green New Deal, saying it is needed to seriously combat climate change.
Republicans such as Greene have argued that the Green New Deal costs too much and is unrealistic.
If these two were to debate, it would probably get more views than a “woke” Major League Baseball All-Star game for sure.
