Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) wants to debate Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).

“I’d like to challenge you to a debate on the Green New Deal economic policy,” Greene tweeted on Wednesday to Ocasio-Cortez.

She added, “Since you sponsored the Green New Deal and have a degree in Economics, I’m sure you are more than qualified.”

The Republican lawmaker argued:

“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.”

Greene proposed that each lawmaker choose a moderator and “negotiate a major news network to host the debate.”

“Let’s do this for The People. What do you say?”

It does not seem that Ocasio-Cortez has responded via Twitter to Greene’s proposal, as of Friday morning. Additionally, Greene’s spokesman Nick Dyer told the New York Post that Ocasio-Cortez has yet to respond and said, “We absolutely welcome a response and look forward to a lively debate.”

.@AOC I’d like to challenge you to a debate on the 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.

Cont’d..

— Marjorie Taylor Greene ?? (@mtgreenee) April 14, 2021

.@AOC you can choose one moderator and I choose a moderator.

Then we can negotiate a major news network to host the debate.

Let’s do this for The People.

What do you say?

— Marjorie Taylor Greene ?? (@mtgreenee) April 14, 2021

Greene was removed from her committee assignments in February, after her past controversial comments.

She added in more tweets later Wednesday:

.@AOC people are excited about our debate about the Green New Deal economic policy!

People are saying they would pay money to see it.

We could debate pay per view style?

And the money raised could be split between us for our choosing of where it goes.

What do you think? https://t.co/cXZWrFwcjI

Green New Deal Economic Debate#MTGvsAOC

Let’s do it for the People!

They deserve to know the pro’s and con’s and the policy from both side explained through debate.

Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass) introduced the Green New Deal in February of 2019. It is “a congressional resolution that lays out a grand plan for tackling climate change,” as The New York Times writes.

The resolution, which is not binding, “calls on the federal government to wean the United States from fossil fuels and curb planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions across the economy” and “aims to guarantee new high-paying jobs in clean energy industries,” the Times reports.

In February 2019, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was asked about the Green New Deal, to which she said, “It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive. The green dream or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it right?”

Ocasio-Cortez said in June 2019 that the Green New Deal would cost at least $10 trillion.

President Joe Biden said during the first presidential debate in 2020 that “the Green New Deal is not my plan.” However, on his website for his climate plan, he calls the Green New Deal a “crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face.”
