The mysterious case of AOC’s scrubbed 'Green New Deal'

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."

The actual authors were about to be discovered/left footprints?

It’s not like she actually wrote it herself. The thing about tearing down cities and rebuilding them comes out of Davos/Bilderberg of a couple of years back.

She must have powerful backers. She did meet Soros.

More from the article:

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

Robert Hockett, professor of law and finance at Cornell University, appearing on "Tucker Carlson Tonight," called the contents of the now-missing blog post “some kind of document that somebody other than us has been circulating.”

Hockett said Ocasio-Cortez does not endorse the idea of paying people “unwilling to work” and does not want to ban airplane travel.

He said Ocasio-Cortez “tweeted it out to laugh at it.” He added, “It seems apparently some Republicans have put it out there.”"

***

I saw this guy Hockett on with Carlson. He is one slimy character.

Not to suggest it’s a reality, but it just seems like the handlers of AOC have been easily led around by rogue-agents to build AOC up, and to present an idiot-savant. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was not Soros, but Russian KGB guys who designed her image and build-up.

____________

The smug, wise-*ss who came out to smooth-talk T. Carlson and explain away the AOC idiocy.

All he managed to do was make himself look almost as repulsive as Hillary Clinton, Peter Strozk, and Adam Schiff combined.

So...

She’s either an idiot for suggesting this lunacy or...
She’s an idiot for allowing rabid leftists (or that evil GOP) to post under her name.

“almost as repulsive”

“equally if not more” & looks like a garden vanity pervert and I am sure some one can find some excellent dirt on his obvious scum bag

No mysteries here. For Leftists the ends justify the means and that means all kinds of deceit.

It was clearly explained to her that’s not the way this works. You must lie to the people to get your true agenda thru and then it’s too late.

If she gets to the point of actually presenting a bill instead of a resolution, which can't be passed into law and has no legal authority, then I'll be concerned.

I dub her..."The Bluster".
