Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is ripping her fellow Democrats for failing to take up her proposed special climate change committee called the Green New Deal because it was deemed "too controversial."
Ocasio-Cortez in a Twitter thread Monday blamed House leadership for rejecting the idea behind the Green New Deal, which aimed to create a plan to get the country on a 100 percent renewable energy electric grid.
"A few weeks ago, I joined youth activists in a specific demand for a Green New Deal Committee. It had 3 simple elements: 1. No fossil fuel money on climate cmte 2. Offer solutions for impacted communities 3. Draft sample #GreenNewDeal All 3 were rejected as too controversial," she tweeted.

No, Pelosi’s new nightmare. Every stupid utterance from the Commie makes Pelosi look older, less hip, and more conservative.

"No doubt shes an idiot, but the bigger concern is that an entire generation of children have been fed a diet of this nonsense in grade school, high school and college and actually believe it"Amen! We need to figure out how to take back the schools, or at least offer alternatives to the nanny state education system. A free market would be best.
Progressives have been working on academia for generations.

In the last election, Arizona had a prop that the whole state would be required to go green energy regardless of the cost to consumers. Thankfully it was defeated but it was dicey...As the whole world knows, sometimes Arizona voters choose poorly.

As has been pointed out by others, for the last 20 or 30 years the environmental movement has been a facade for the socialist movement
As far as Little Miss AOC is concerned, she’s essentially a media construct. She is a congressman from a single district that would never elect a Republican, so her sole accomplishment, getting elected, means absolutely nothing. She has not even taken office, yet the media treats her as the second coming.

There is only one country on earth that has reduced carbon emissions over the last 10 years. I wonder if the grinning bartender knows which one that is.

It’s now scripted into children’s movies as a factual issue. I witness this regularly.

AOC wants a short path to get rich. The New Green Deal offers massive opportunities for graft. Her greed is self consuming.
I predict that she’ll be brought down fast in a corruption scandal. She ain’t bright enough to steal.
To: allendale
Quite possible she’s a lesbian.
I’m sure she’s been taught that men are evil and need to be destroyed, that men have caused every problem on earth.
A “Lorena Bobbitt” for the right guy.
