WASHINGTON D.C. (KMOV.com) -- St. Louis Representative Cori Bush is changing offices after a "maskless" Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene "berated" her and staff Friday, she said via Twitter.
The freshman Missouri congresswoman said that she decided to move offices for safety reasons. It was also reported Speaker Nancy Pelosi personally got involved. Greene, who represents Georgia's 14th Congressional District, is known for frequently posting conspiracy theories on her page, including QAnon conspiracies.
Bush added that she called on members that incited the Jan 6. insurrection to be expelled from Congress.
Greene responded to the tweet by Bush with a video saying that she "berated" her and called her the "leader of the St. Louis Black Lives Matter terrorist mob who trespassed into a gated neighborhood to threaten the lives of the McCloskeys."
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also joined the dispute on Twitter by calling out GOP leader Kevin McCarthy for not ensuring safety for House members.
"He is losing control of his caucus & allowing these threats to go unchecked, while looking the other way as members like Cori Bush feel so unsafe that she must move offices just 3 weeks into her 1st term," she tweeted.

A maskless Marjorie Taylor Greene & her staff berated me in a hallway. She targeted me & others on social media.

I'm moving my office away from hers for my team's safety.
I've called for the expulsion of members who incited the insurrection from Day 1. Bring H.Res 25 to a vote.
I re-tweeted Bush's comments on Greene, so here is Greene's response.

Seems the issue began when Bush told Greene to put on her mask.
Just so we're all clear, interactions like this between lawmakers of opposite parties are not normal. https://t.co/onMgjZWcMl
.@GOPLeader has a responsibility to ensure his members do not harm others.
