Nancy Pelosi's Gazpacho police. Spying on the work that legislators do. In a chamber that is deliberately open to the public, broadcast live on C-Span, reported on by the media, and where things like legislation are read into the Congressional Record, released online so everyone can see, each vote is completely not anonymous and all the speeches in favor of/opposed to said legislation are recorded for posterity.
God damn that Nancy Pelosi for her Gazpacho police and their spying on Congress!

The Republican Accountability Project on Twitter: "Just to clear things up, @RepMTG
Gazpacho: a vegetable-based Spanish cold soup
Gestapo: Nazi Germany's secret police (vid link)" / Twitter
She also called the DC jail the "DC gulag", a reference to the Jan-6 attackers jailed there.
She said that "Nancy Pelosi's Gazpacho police" was spying on everybody in Congress.
Jake Sherman on Twitter: "MTG says Nancy Pelosi has a “Gazpacho police”
Gazpacho is a cold tomato soup
Gestapo is the Nazi police force.
Neither of these things are right." / Twitter
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "At least she leads by example. She clearly banned all books from her house years ago" / Twitter
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "For real though when you see how the GOP openly embrace and leverage fascist members of their party vs how much some Dems run away and frame their own base mobilizers as “just as extreme” it’s not hard to see how that asymmetry/false equivalence has contributed to where we are" / Twitter

At first I was wondering if this was some kind of auto-correct error that was missed.... but no, she actually said it. Was she mindlessly reading off a tele-prompter?!? How on earth can you mix up the two when speaking?? Was she thinking of her lunch while spewing the talking points?

I think she's truly that stupid. She doesn't know how to pronounce Gestapo and came up with Gazpacho, which, by accident, is an actual word.

Some day when the Qarens completely take over the country and for decades the propaganda makes its way into the fabric of education about history, our children's children will believe they live in a world where Reich wingers heroically stopped Jewish space lasers, Gazpacho police, 5g magnet vaccines from Bill Gates, the Great Reset holocaust, mandated mask sex toys, Wayfair furniture pedophilia, and Mazel Tov cocktails.

He mistakes your passing interest for the kind of crazy-eyed, unrelenting obsession Republicans hold for AOC.
Projection has been honed to an art form by the radical right. They not only project their own feelings onto their opponents, they even accuse “the left” of the very crimes they are themselves planning to commit.

It's an interesting speech defect that is similar to a
spoonerism. Spoonerisms involve a transposition of speech sounds (phonemes), usually across different words, e.g. "Yuck Foo" for "fuck you". This looks like a word-internal spoonerism.I suspect that Greene had planned to use the word "Gestapo", pronounced gesh-TAH-po". Perhaps she got it from a speech writer, who was attempting to link Pelosi to Nazis (
Godwin's law strikes again!). However, she could recall only the first syllable correctly: "gesh". What is interesting is that the "sh" sound apparently caused the following "t" to undergo a common assimilation to a "ch" sound. If you then apply the spoonerism rule to the two final syllables, it comes out "gesh-PAH-cho". That palatal assimilation is very interesting linguistically. I'd never heard that in a spoonerism before. Anyway, Greene's lack of knowledge of WWII and Nazi Germany probably also played a role in the confusion.

Or, judging from her body of work she could just be a moron.

Some responses from Twitter...
Although some say they have a wonton disregard for safety.
Especially their controversial “stop and bisque” program.
Yes, but they always arrest on souped-up charges.

True, but that doesn't exclude the possibility that she just tripped over the pronunciation of a word that she wasn't too familiar with. I think somebody coached her to pronounce Gestapo with a "sht" instead of a "st", because a lot of German words begin with that cluster. English simply doesn't like that at the beginning of a syllable. Usually, only foreign words begin with "sht", "shp", and "shk". Even a moron can have trouble with strange pronunciations.
