Reps. Marjorie Tayler Greene, R-Ga. and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., often find themselves as far away as possible on separate ends of the aisle.
Wednesday that changed.
The two were captured in a rare, viral photo that Greene shared late Wednesday.
It shows Greene speaking with AOC on what seems to be the House floor — and the feisty Trump-supporting Republican teased a debate with a shocking challenge.
“I’m glad I ran into you today @AOC to plan our debate about the Green New Deal,” she wrote on Twitter.
“After I finish reading all 14 pages, like we agreed, I’ll schedule time for our debate.”

Ocasio-Cortez and her Democratic cronies have reportedly been making a renewed push for the Green New Deal bill — the infamous bill that some studies show could reach as much as $93 trillion in cost.
Critics say the Green New Deal 2.0 would dramatically alter the economy and “punish” America without actually addressing climate change.
Now Green is ramping up the rhetoric against bill she says is going to destroy the U.S. gas and oil industry.
“.@AOC’s Green New Deal will destroy the US’s oil and gas industry just after we became energy independent from President Trump’s #AmericaFirst policies. Our ability to export oil and gas gives the US great negotiating power in the world. China and Russia love the GND.”

But that’s not all.
Less than 24 hours later, Greene has claimed she read the Green New Deal — all 14 pages.
“I read your 14 page Communists manifesto @AOC. Looking forward to debating you.”

Will AOC accept?
