AOC Mocks Marjorie Taylor Greene’s New Role in DOGE Commission as ‘Actually Hilarious’

[Social Media]

 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a prominent figure in MAGA circles, is set to head a new House Oversight Committee Subcommittee that will coordinate with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s so-called DOGE commission. The commission, officially named the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aims to address government spending by proposing significant budget cuts. Despite the weighty mission, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) found humor in Greene’s appointment.  

 

 

“This is good, actually,” Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive icon, remarked on Twitter Thursday. “She barely shows up and doesn’t do the reading.” In her trademark style, AOC likened assigning Greene this role to giving “someone an unplugged controller,” implying Greene’s involvement might be more symbolic than substantive.  

 

 

The DOGE commission was announced earlier this month by President-elect Donald Trump, who tapped Musk and Ramaswamy to lead the effort. The two entrepreneurial heavyweights are tasked with delivering recommendations for slashing federal spending, with Musk floating the possibility of cuts as deep as $2 trillion. While the commission itself lacks the formal authority of a government department, its proposals could shape the fiscal priorities of the upcoming administration.  

 

Ocasio-Cortez didn’t hold back in her critique of the collaboration between Musk, Ramaswamy, and Greene. “Absolutely dying at those two now getting assigned the ‘privilege’ of ‘working’ with MTG,” she tweeted. “That is actually hilarious. Enjoy, fellas!”  

 

The progressive congresswoman’s pointed comments reflect ongoing tensions between the two political camps. Greene, often a lightning rod for controversy, remains a favorite among Trump loyalists, while Ocasio-Cortez has consistently positioned herself as a vocal opponent of MAGA policies. Their exchanges, often marked by biting humor and sharp criticisms, have become a staple of contemporary political discourse.  

 

As the DOGE commission takes shape, Greene’s role and its potential impact on government spending remain to be seen. For now, however, Ocasio-Cortez appears content to sit back and watch the drama unfold, making it clear she doesn’t see Greene’s appointment as a serious threat.
