Washington ¨C In the latest sign of rising tensions within the U.S. Congress, a Democratic congresswoman said Friday she plans to relocate her Capitol Hill office for safety reasons after being ¡°berated¡± by an outspoken conservative Republican congresswoman.
Democrat Cori Bush, an ordained pastor from Missouri, described confrontations with Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, whose office is located near Bush¡¯s in one of the three large House of Representatives office buildings. Both are first-term House members who took office this month.
The incidents are further evidence of discord among lawmakers after a Jan. 6 riot in which supporters of Republican former President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol, interrupting the formal certification of President Joe Biden¡¯s election victory and leading to the deaths of five people.
