Full title: Ocasio-Cortez Rebuffs Fact-Checkers, Says The World Ending In 12 Years Was Dry Humor
Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez complained Sunday that GOP fact-checkers were taking her dry humor literally.
This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and fact check it, she tweeted. Like the world ending in 12 years thing, youd have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think its literal. But the GOP is basically Dwight from The Office so who knows.
(AOC tweet)
And when Ocasio-Cortez first made the claim, she certainly appeared to be playing up the absurdity of the statement for effect.
.@AOC on millennials and social media: "Were, like, the world is going to end in 12 years if we dont address climate change"

Well, her proposed GND certainly was way too ambitious and got laughed right out of 'deleted' fate.
The old ‘you took my joke seriously’ retreat.
She meant it seriously. We have heard the exact same thing from climate folks that are deadly serious.
And enlighten me funny girl, if its such a sarcastic joke, why 12 years? Why did you pick that particular number? Whats so funny about that?
She’s gone on to newer and better horror stories: garbage disposals.
Sarcasm would mean she doesn’t believe global nonsense is real.
Which is it?
She was NOT using “dry humor” when first she said this crap; she was just repeating garbage. Now that she has been called out about it and laughed at...she’s making excuses. It just won’t wash; we all know that she’s an idiot!
So it took her nearly 4 months to say “just kidding?” She truly is stupid.
When called out Democrats often fall back on claims of stupidity; here a stupid joke.
As opposed to “wet” humor? :)
Well, I for one , am glad that the barista is in detox
and is 'drying out' from her past employment.
That would explain her "dry humor"; maybe she has the DTs too ?
Dry humor? Her mind is an arid wasteland.
Is ‘idiocy’ dry humor, as well? /s
Is this Satire, or is AOC really trying to walk back the “12 years” talk, just as people like deBlasio are starting to support it out loud? What a comedy the Dems have become.
Late film director Federico Fellini would have used such scripts.
LOL she’s a moron, she only took it back because of how utterly stupid she would look(Besides the fact that she is a moron) if in 12 yrs we are all still here
So, is she saying all the global warming BS is just that?!
Did she just say Romney had the intelligence of a sea sponge?
But when Candidate Trump said he hoped Russia would find Hillary’s 30,000 emails, that’s collusion. /s
Shes such a dim bulb she doesnt even know what dry humor means.
PDJT says something funny at a rally. Ten thousand people laugh but it gets included as evidence in an FBI witch hunt. No one on her side laughed with AOC but she will be excused.
Dry humor? How can it be dry, when the seas will have raised over all the continents and only the Himalayan Islands will exist?
