(CNN) Right-wing media outlets seem to be waging a coordinated campaign to portray US Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a dimwit radical. Their efforts will backfire. She is in fact championing the smartest, most practical idea in US politics to address two urgent problems: climate change and poverty.
Ocasio-Cortez, along with a growing number of Democratic colleagues, is asking Rep. Nancy Pelosi to create a select committee on a "Green New Deal" -- comprehensive legislation for a mass mobilization of people and resources toward solutions to the climate crisis. If Pelosi agrees, the congressional committee could develop a plan to improve the economy and the environment within a year.
In 2007, Pelosi established a select committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming; it played a role in the creation of the 2007 energy bill, a 2009 stimulus package that included funds for energy efficiency and other environmental provisions, and the 2009 Waxman-Markey bill, which would have established emissions caps and implemented a system for trading emissions allowances, was passed by the House but never acted upon by the Senate. A select committee on a Green New Deal could allow congressional Democrats to pick up where they left off after Republicans disbanded the former committee in 2011 when they took control of the House.

That is cringe-worthy.
“...Right-wing media outlets seem to be waging a coordinated campaign to portray US Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a dimwit radical. Their efforts will backfire....”
No, it will no backfire. Because she IS A DIMWIT RADICAL. Reality will prevail.
Right-wing media outlets seem to be waging a coordinated campaign to portray US Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a dimwit radical.
i.e. it’s not a coordinated campaign. It’s just the sane people noticing reality.
“climate change and poverty”
Both created by libs.
She’s an ignorant, lunatic, communist.
Unbelievably great satire!
Isn’t it?
Climate change ... nothing we can do about it ... so tax the crap out of people.
Poverty ... not enough of it to support permanent Dem majorities ... so import more of it from every third world crap hole on the globe.
van jones. lol.
It's like arts & crafts class. They're finger painting and gluing things together, hoping the Senate will hang them on the fridge. But everything they make is going straight in the trash.
In other news right wing nutjobs are waging a propaganda campaign to convince gulible voters that water is wet. But smart well informed people know this is not so because the orange man said water was wet and orange man bad.
Occasional cortex wouldn’t understand the operation of a screwdriver.
There is so much material existing about that dumbass that we really should publicly shame the joke of a university that actually gave her a degree. H*ll, she’s too dumb for even an SJW degree. She’d make an excellent community organizer, though.
But I want say it again: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a dimwit radical!
"Green is the new red."
“climate change and poverty.”
Van, the planet will take care of itself, and President Trump is taking care of poverty.
Go away, Van.
