She wasn’t always so green.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez chowed down on a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit, during a Facebook Live video from 2017 as she and her friends drove through the state of Wisconsin.

AOC, called the hearty sandwich a “palate cleanser” after taking a bite of a decidedly less-appetizing Wisconsin cheese curd.

She specifically suggested dumping breakfast meat and dairy.
