She says that she and her staff were working at a table in the restaurant and were not aware of the duo’s presence until they started shouting.
“They had no respect for the restaurant or the staff or the other people dining or people like me who simply have different political views,” Greene tweeted. “They are self-righteous, insane, and completely out of control.”
