I know who Greene is, but I honestly find it weird how they’re referred to by their initials only. No other country would do that in a world news community, especially when the politician isn’t even a major leader of any sort
I think it has more to do with the US preferring to use the second name initial as an identifier, like with George Bush and George W. Bush. Three letters just roll off the tounge better, while everyone know who is meant. Of course, with AOC it’s not her second name but a classic Spanish doubled surname. Though it couls be from somewhere else, too. Idk what countries all have doubled surnames.

It’s a bit of a trend in US politics.
JFK = John F. Kennedy
AOC = Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
MTG = Marjorie Taylor Greene
