Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spent plenty of air time explaining “farting cows,” as she defended her so-called Green New Deal on the premiere of Showtime’s “Desus & Mero.”
According to an initial outline of the measure, the freshman Democrat and Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) said they “set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.”
The language was later changed to “emissions from cows.”
On Thursday night, comedy duo Desus Nice and The Kid Mero asked Ocasio-Cortez why she thought the initial reaction to the Green New Deal focused on bovine exhaust.
“In the deal, what we talk about, and it’s true, is that we need to take a look at factory farming, you know? Period. It’s wild,” Ocasio-Cortez said, according to Fox News.
“And so it’s not to say you get rid of agriculture, it’s not to say we’re gonna force everybody to go vegan or anything crazy like that. But it’s to say, ‘Listen, we gotta address factory farming. Maybe we shouldn’t be eating a hamburger for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Like, let’s keep it real.’”
“Slow down,” Desus joked.
“But we have to take a look at everything,” the ultra-left-wing pol continued, “and what we need to realize about climate change is about every choice that we make in our lives, you know?”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Desus Nice, and The Kid Mero.
That must have been some brain trust.
She wants to make every American spend every minute of their life thinking of her, and what she wants, just like Kim Jong-un.
AOC’s worried about cow farts because she’s afraid they’ll sound more intelligent than the flatulence that’s coming from her own mouth...
Methane is all she has between her ears.
“The Farting Cow”
Wasn’t that the name of the pub where she stole the tip jar?
keep digging, AOC ...
If we could just disarm the population and make the men too weak to fight or turn them into women with soy in everything, along with sterilizing them with hormones in the water, we can finally take over, and rule over a class of illiterate slaves ignorant of history
Oh, great. I have been looking forward to retirement where I can fly to outdoor sanctuaries in a plane and eat steaks cooked over a nice campfire.
These yokels can just go to join their bestest buddy in Hades.
Well, it is comical. Sad, but comical.
It’s there as a straw man to trade in negotiations for implementing socialism.
They’ll get their “free” college and guaranteed government jobs. We’ll breathe a sigh of relief that we got to keep airplanes and hamburgers.
Peak idiocy.
Well, they’re smelly and yucky. DOH! Now, about illegally paying your BF?
I'd wager that's the same advice the RAT Old Guard gave Occasional-Cortex early on.
She likely told them to get bent - SHE is the new face of the RAT Party, don-cha-know, and NO old fogey RATs are gonna try to control her!
As a result, the RAT Old Guard are loving every minute of the AOC meltdown. She pisses off her Governor and her Mayor!
So when some pissant little newly-elected Congresswoman disses you, and starts scaring the older constituents (forget about the SJW kids who love her), you step aside and let the little Chihuahua drown in the deep end of the pool.

When Occasional-Cortex crashes and burns (and what is also likely, gets her legs broken by the New York pols), Pelosi et al. can shed crocodile tears.
New party. who dis?
don’t let her see that image or the cows will never forgive you for that danged AOC green power harness.
How much of a factor is the farts of cows?
There’s a lot of animal life other than cows. Maybe the totality of human farting is greater than that of cows. What about insect farting, ocean creature farting?
Decaying garbage, which is a small percentage of the totality of of decaying plant and animal matter, emits methane, an important greenhouse gas.
Not sure, but I assume you're asking about the "RAT" moniker.
If so, I'm surprised you don't remember its etymology...
