FNC's Carlson Fact-Checks Ocasio-Cortez Strategist on Green New Deal
newsbusters.org ^ | 2/9/2019 | Ryan Foley

Posted on 02/10/2019 10:18:58 AM PST by rktman

During Friday’s edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight, the eponymous host discussed some of the provisions of the Green New Deal, including the eye-popping idea that the Federal government will pay anyone who is “unwilling to work.” Carlson then began a conversation with Cornell University Law Professor Robert Hockett, who advised Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the Green New Deal. Hockett disputed the aforementioned provision of the Green New Deal but Carlson effectively proved him wrong by reading directly from a fact sheet and FAQ list posted on her website at the time of the Green New Deal’s launch.

Hockett seemed absolutely flabbergasted when Carlson asked “why would we ever pay people who are ‘unwilling to work?’” Hockett responded: “We never would, right?” He asserted that “AOC has never said anything like that” before accusing Carlson of referring to some “doctored document that somebody other than us has been circulating.”

What? Just because it's in the written document doesn't mean we ever said it or thought it. No, really. And WE'RE D-plorable? CW2 near at hand?

Check out the orangutan tribute hair on Hockett— does he ever look in the mirror? Dadgum hilariously look. Is it a toupe’ pasted on the back side of his cue ball?

Very orangutan looking dude primate-wise.

Newsbusters has it in the comments there— the original obmauamo PHONE woman who freely talks to media about “voting for cash, and my phone”. For white/hispanic “che” type academics and bartenders— the “gibs me dat” stuff plays well in the hood “plantation”.

Which the derps almost immediately took off-line.

Wonder why?

Typical commie-style behavior: denying the obvious, implying the claimant is nuts, radical, or mentally deficient; editing public versions of documents and policy. Coming up: news organizations shoving the original version down the memory hole. Give it time...people who have questions won’t be given a forum to ask them, or will be severely penalized for asking them.

And these people want to take away the 2A?? Lol.

Noone with a brain buys the crap that dipwad was slinging...of course they put it out, all the metadata exists including who posted it (her chief of staff).

But let them self-destruct...it’s fun to watch and in the end, they’re never going to walk back the socialist pig, all they’ll do is try a different shade of lipstick.

It won’t be disputable when she and the other white coats present it as a house bill.

They are realizing that putting Ocasio-Cortez out there was a tactical mistake. The woman is not terribly bright and easily says really dopey things in front of the camera. They even teamed her up with the Schizoid of the Senate, Markey, to give her “gravitas”. She is still popular however with the lunatic Democratic base, so they won’t give up on her. However she will be repackaged, retooled and given strict scripts to follow. Carlson also demonstrated that it is a mistake to put her advisors before a camera and a hostile interviewer.
