Speaking to journalists the next day, Greene said Bowman's"physical mannerisms are aggressive," adding that she felt"threatened" by the New York Democrat. Greene also claimed Bowman had called her"a white supremacist" during their exchange, which she compared to"calling a person of color the N-word."
