Ocasio-Cortez: Get ready for our 15-city Magical Green New Deal Mystery Tour

Ed MorrisseyPosted at 12:01 pm on February 14, 2019

“Let’s go,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says in promoting a new 15-city tour in support of her Green New Deal. Just one question — how exactly will they “go”? Unless it’s by bicycle or on foot, the organizers might have some explaining to do. They can’t travel by car, not even electric, since the energy to recharge vehicles comes primarily from coal and nuclear sources.

I know, I know … this qualifies as pouncing, doesn’t it? Via Twitchy:

Let’s go:

‘We’re starting a 15-city tour + a 50-State campaign, starting in early primary states, to build political and public support for a Green New Deal.’ – @sunrisemvmt#ThisIsWhatDemocracyLooksLike ⬇️ https://t.co/bFs1nozd6e

The tour will be organized in part by Justice Democrats, which Ocasio-Cortez supports and which has pledged to primary Democratic moderates in 2020. The video urges Democratic politicians to fall in line behind the GND, or … else, presumably.

To watch this video forces one to come to the conclusion that the Magical GND Mystery Tour — the mystery being transportation — is some kind of modern Children’s Crusade. Rather than seeking Jerusalem, however, these children are trotting off in ignorance in order to impose Nirvana on everyone they meet along the way. They warn that a rising young generation wants to remake America in the same way that FDR’s New Deal and World War II supposedly created the “modern American middle class,” even though the American middle class had emerged decades earlier, and that the New Deal extended the Depression rather than bolstered the middle class.

I was just pulling your chain a little. I’m in Alabama, we (and by we I mean they) elected Doug Jones for crying out loud.

No more plane travel. Have to go by train. But between DiBlazio and AOC NYC is going back to a more 'fun' time.

I swear...just when I think we have heard the last from that ugly fat-faced carpetbagger and her stupidity, she shows up again and defiles my TV screen. She’s like a rash you can’t get rid of.

The best way to be an anarchist in this country is to vote for the most obviously disqualified candidates and watch the fun. There is a hell of a lot of that going on all around us.

And now, today, hearing the news that Senator Bernie Sanders (C-VT) is officially a candidate for 2020, I suspect he is the front runner among all the leftist crackpots vying for the coveted title of Supreme Socialist Santa Claus.

Fun, indeed.
