Freshman Tennessee Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) fired back at Democratic firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) saying there was “no choice but to assume” that Democratic lawmakers “condone” the recent attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.
On Monday, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that there was “no choice but to assume” Republican lawmakers “condone” President Donald Trump’s widely criticized tweets where he told a group of “progressive Democrat congresswomen” to “go back” to their home countries and “fix” them — seemingly referring to Ocasio-Cortez and her squad, Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.).
