Last week, we touched upon Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's support for the asinine government overhaul of the American economy known as the" Green New Deal. " In what appeared to be spontaneous show of support, Ocasio-Cortez met with a group of environmentalists inside Nancy Pelosi's office and told the mostly young group of people just how proud of she was of them "for putting yourselves, and your bodies, and everything on the line to make sure that we save our planet, our generation, and our future." However, Ocasio-Cortez had actually delivered that same message a day before at a training session for the activists which inspired many of them to get arrested.
Take Emma Chinman-Hatton, a 21-year-old University of New Hampshire student for example. When Chinman-Hatton heard that Ocasio-Cortez encouraged this behavior, she simply had to get arrested to fully show support for the environmental movement.
According to Foster's Daily Democrat , Chinman-Hatton and New Hampshire Youth Movement were heading to Washington, DC and deliberating how far they wanted to take their protest.
"While driving to D.C., Chinman and New Hampshire Youth Movement members decided it would be too risky to make getting arrested part of their mission to demand action on climate change in a protest at the office of Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic U.S. House minority leader," Fosters reports.
But, "Chinman’s mind was changed after hearing inspirational words from Democratic Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York during a training session a day before the Nov. 13 protest, designed to push party leaders to take immediate legislative action."
Apparently, after learning more about the Green New Deal, the group was "split into two: people who wanted to be arrested and those who did not. Chinman and the rest of NHYM were still firm on the fact they’d be in the low-risk B group, which would go into the hallway outside Pelosi’s office but would not enter."
Then Ocasio-Cortez made an appearance at the training session on November 12 and told the group how more young people needed to put their bodies on the line to fight against climate change.
That is when Chinman said she decided she would move into Group A and plan to get arrested.
On the morning of November 13th, Congress-woman elect Rashida Talib met with the protesters and even gave them jolly ranchers for the sit-in.
Then during the sit-in, Chinman and her comrades sang songs, chanted, and demanded that Rep. Pelosi heed their requests.
But, "after three warnings from members of the Capitol Police Department, Chinman said, the 51 activists were arrested and taken to paddy wagons to be processed. Published reports on the incident state they were charged with unlawful demonstration after refusing to leave. Chinman said she and the others were fined $50 and released after five hours, adding they will not have to appear in court."
Chinman-Hatton has no regrets for her actions saying, "I’m really glad that I decided to do the action. Young people (must show they’re) going to inconvenience themselves and show that we’re going to put our bodies on the line, we’re going to inconvenience you if you aren’t taking climate change seriously. We’re going to continue to get arrested, continue to do actions and continue to protest."
She could use a little support.
Only wacked out, deranged Marxists could have voted for this moronic human waste. How low we’ve sunk.
That woman has a head like a rake.....nothing but teeth in it.
cant wait to see her debate a seasoned congressperson on the other side
Hehe.
Jobs?
She wants good jobs?
The Democrats haven’t worried about jobs in a long time.
Trump starts increasing good jobs in the US, and people vote in Democrat Representatives to thank him.
Another kid filled with BS.
Yep...I’d venture to say she’s going to learn more in the next year than she learned in HS and college, the hard way.
But how good is this bartenders pina colada?
Let's Wrap This Baby Up, Folks!
gloBULL warming played no part in the mid-term campaigns, but note how it’s now almost the only issue!
BBC/NPR etc quoted Brenda Ekwurzel of UCS as one of the authors of the ridiculously exaggerated National Climate Assessment - she will be joining Bernie next month! it’s pure politics:
20 Nov: HuffPo: Bernie Sanders To Host A Climate Town Hall, Amplifying Progressive Calls To Cut Emissions
The likely 2020 presidential candidate is daring TV networks to finally cover climate change.
By Alexander C. Kaufman
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will host a livestreamed town hall summit on climate change next month…
Speakers include 350.org founder Bill McKibben, activist and “Big Little Lies” star Shailene Woodley, climate scientist ***Brenda Ekwurzel, activist and musician Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, and Mayor Dale Ross of deep-red Georgetown, Texas, whose avowedly pragmatic embrace of newly cheap renewable energy has made him a poster boy for how Republicans could quit climate change denialism…
The summit, which took months to plan, will take place less than a month after Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) propelled talk of a so-called Green New Deal into the Democratic mainstream…

Is still play wiff um
Another brain-washed idiot.
Not really 'putting their bodies into it, just a few hours and a few bucks. As much as I like to see Pelosi discomfited by protesters even farther left and more stupid than she is, the penalties should be $5000.00, and five weeks in jail, for the first offense.
If they really want to put their bodies into it, they need to go the Rachel Corrie route. I might be impressed with their dedication 'to the cause' then.
Is her 15 minutes up yet?
24 Nov: Daily Caller: ‘Embarrassing’: Climate Expert Explains What’s Wrong With The White House’s New Climate Report
by Chris White
The scientists who wrote the National Climate Assessment (NCA) used unreliable information that exaggerates the risks global warming poses, University of Colorado Prof. Roger Pielke Jr. noted in a series of tweets. He fears the report will make it easier for critics to dismiss future climate studies.
“By presenting cherrypicked science, at odds w/ NCA Vol,1 & IPCC AR5, the authors of NCA Vol.2 have given a big fat gift to anyone who wants to dismiss climate science and policy,” Pielke Jr. wrote in a tweet Friday shortly after the White House released the report. “Embarrassing.”...
A White House statement Friday said the report was “largely based on the most extreme scenario” of global warming and that the next assessment would likely be more balanced. Pielke agrees...

Most of the spineless RINOs & GOPEs would not dare ‘argue’ with her lest they ‘hurt her feeling’s
Kind of like how they treated BO.
What I am waiting for is her to go toe to toe with Maxine or one of those Texas BC idiots or even have Nancy try to tone her down and have her jump on Nancy....
“We have a right to a good job and a livable future”
A right? Is that in the Bill of Rights?
Who is going to hire a graduate of a gender studies program? LOL
