Social media erupted in soup jokes on Wednesday after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) of having "gazpacho police" spy on lawmakers and their staffs.

The remark was an apparent reference to the Gestapo, the Nazi secret police, but the far-right rep instead named the chilled vegetable soup popular in Spain and Portugal.

During an interview on One America News Network, Greene said Pelosi was using U.S. Capitol Police officers as "pawns" and sending them into lawmakers' offices to "investigate."

"Not only do we have the D.C. jail, which is the D.C. gulag, but now we have Nancy Pelosi's gazpacho police spying on members of Congress," she said.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that Greene "clearly banned all books from her house years ago" in reference to the ongoing conservative push to ban from schools books deemed sexually explicit or racially charged.
