The mysterious case of AOC’s scrubbed 'Green New Deal'
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 2/9/19 | Susan Ferrechio

On Feb. 5, the congressional office of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted a new blog entry under “energy issues” detailing her "Green New Deal" proposal and answering “frequently asked questions.”

The page, announcing an 8:30 a.m. launch on Feb. 7, is now gone, and a top adviser suggested Friday it was actually authored and distributed by the GOP. By the afternoon of Feb. 7, Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., removed the document from her website without explanation but following backlash and even ridicule over the radical plans outlined within it, including a call to "eliminate emissions from cows or air travel" — which would functionally ban the latter — and to provide “economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work."

They get busted red naded and they will staill blame the GOP.

Numerous main stream media outfits ran with the FAQ they are now saying was forged by GOP operatives.

They would force you to pay for the removal of your entire HVAC system, water heater and all kitchen appliances.

It is not gone. It will be back.I was not aware that took it down. But that is not surprising, Satan and his crowd always do their work in the dark.

They want to plane ideas and avoid actual scrutiny of how insane and stupid those ideas are....kind of like all the folks who signed the petitions to outlaw water when it was called "Di-Hydrous Mon-Oxide"....because it managed to seep into everything - especially plants.

On another note, I heard a song today that might be a good themes song for the Dems and their supporters...we can tell them we'd love to miss them...but..."How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away" - by Dan Hicks and his Hot licks

I collect a lot of music and put tons on USB to listen to when driving...has a lot of lesser known/arcane stuff in it and this song came up while I was running errands this morning.

I'm too lazy to make a hot link but the YouTube URL is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW9-FOLG-iA

Didn’t she (surrounded by other shillin Dems) hold a press conference hailing this Green schlock the other day? Did the mean ole Republicans make her do that too?

Yep! Either way she is still an idiot.

What I believe happened is that the truth of that deal was published before the lying tweaks could be made in order to sell it to the public. What was published what is the true manifesto. That was not intended to be public

“”A policy adviser to Ocasio-Cortez, though, told Fox News Friday night that the claims were some kind of hoax perpetuated by Republicans.”

If that were true, why is AOC acting as if it was never posted in the first place rather than putting an aide out there to spread a cover story.

Has anybody found anything about penalties for non-compliance with this “plan”? There must be penalties, or nobody will follow it, and it will be a big nothingburger. But if socialists love anything, they love penalties imposed on people who don’t agree with them.

So if you refuse to give up your car and take the train, if you refuse to leave the country for a hive in the city, what will they do to you?

Just keep posting the contents of her office’s posting on her new green deal as many times as it can be posted.
