Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) reacted to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) appointment to chair a new House Oversight and Accountability subcommittee that will work in tandem with President-elect Trump’s new “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE).

Trump earlier this month tapped tech entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the advisory group, which will focus on cutting federal spending and reducing the size of the government.

“Absolutely dying at those two now getting assigned the ‘privilege’ of ‘working’ with MTG,” Ocasio-Cortez posted Thursday on the social platform X. “That is actually hilarious. Enjoy, fellas! Very prestigious post you have there.” 

A source previously told The Hill that Greene has already met with the incoming DOGE team, including Ramaswamy. 

“This is good, actually,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “She barely shows up and doesn’t do the reading. To borrow a phrase I saw elsewhere, it’s like giving someone an unplugged controller.” 

Greene was removed from all her committee assignments during her first term in 2021 when Democrats controlled the House, citing past social media interactions involving conspiracy theories and threats of violence against Democrats.  

The Georgia Republican will now lead the Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) confirmed. He praised Greene as someone who is “not afraid to back down or walk away from a fight.”

In response to the appointment, Greene said her past experience running a construction company makes her a prime candidate to understand workplace protections and to handle “bad employees.”

“In the private sector, if you’re not doing a good job, you get fired,” she wrote on X. “But for some reason, in government, bad employees — whether they’re failing to do the job they were hired to do or working in roles that are no longer needed — never get fired.”

“This is incredibly unfair to the hard-working taxpayers of our country, and it’s about to change,” she added.
