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?”

I would like to see methane levels from around the world. Pic the largest farm in the US and use that as a benchmark. Then go around the world to random areas and measure methane levels.

we see everything you say and now she is bat sh*^ crazy..I say what comes out of her mouth is more harming than a grass fart, don’t you know its vegan gas?
Bill Gates addressed “bovine flatulence” last weekend on Fareed GPS. He’s a but smarter than AOC so the discussion isn’t completely “wacky”. By that I mean, she’s not the first to bring it up. I forget what his solution was because they diverted off pretty quickly to combustible toilets for the 3rd world.
but it is clean veggie gas..no meat farts clouding our skies..embrace the vegan gas..yes embrace the farts..
we have to smell her mouth gas..jus sayin
I imagine she is taking the train back and forth to NY rather than using an airplane correct?
Hey Almost Occasionally Coherent, your bull sh!t is worse than the cows ever farted.
Go back to your barkeep duties, moron.
Somebody should starting following Sandy around with a tape of Cow Farts and Cow Moos. Everytime she speaks in public, turn the recording on. Keep a safe distance from the crowd, so you don’t get shut down right away.
Two years ago Governor Jerry “stop the warming” Brown signed anvil outlawing “cow flatulence” in Cal. Have seen nothing in the media about enforcement efforts.
California, stronger than the sun, more powerful than the tide.
signed a LAW
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.’”
I would like to her definition of a factory farm.
3 in one gas turbines to steam, line the cows up, clean veggie gas to be used for power plants 7fa turbines, use a sniffer in place in the hrsg, and let the cows eat...now that is energy there..green for all..wait the gas is bad, oh I forgot, never mind there is so much as it is killing us, but not enough to run a power plant..oh the humanity..jessie, no!!!!! I am triggered must run and eat some sushi, very gassy
Climate change happens, with or without people. It’s what the Earth does..
My guess is that she gets “pneumonia” and meets an early demise
In western Kansas they call it the smell of money.
“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.”

If Sarah Palin had ever uttered a statement as stupid as this, the press would have howled.
