Watch: MTG Gets in Heated Debate with Dem Outside Capitol, AOC Jumps in at the End
Conservative firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene engaged a combative Democrat in a hot debate on the steps of the United States Capitol on Wednesday.
Greene was filmed in an exchange with Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman.
The two members of Congress were surrounded by media members who filmed the altercation on phone camera.
"We've got to get rid of Biden to save the country, to save the country! Impeach Biden! Impeach Biden!" urged Greene, of Georgia.
Bowman, of New York, responded with a reference to the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Greene claimed Bowman called her a "white supremacist" during the confrontation, calling his verbiage the equivalent of a racial slur.
"I am very concerned about Jamaal Bowman, and he's someone that people should watch," she said.

Bowman went on to accuse Greene of slamming him by claiming he had been "aggressive" during the confrontation.
Black men continue to be characterized as aggressive and threatening when we are passionate and outspoken.
They're not just using dogwhistles, they're using bullhorns. It's dangerous, but we must ALL continue to speak truth to power. https://t.co/6eLZf2F3Cm pic.twitter.com/O29uCdAehC
