House Representatives Clash Over Characterizations of Racism and Violence
- Members of Congress Marjorie Taylor Greene and Jamaal Bowman argued on the steps of the Capitol over remarks they made about each other.
- Bowman accused Greene of racist rhetoric that puts Black lives in danger while Greene claimed Bowman threatened her and compared him to white supremacists.
- Their argument began after Bowman and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez heckled Republican Congressman George Santos, who is facing criminal charges.
- Onlookers gathered around the two representatives as their argument descended into personal attacks and chaos.
- Ocasio-Cortez attempted to defuse the situation by telling Bowman Greene wasn't worth arguing with, ending the conflict.
