Rep. Ocasio-Cortez Says She Told Senate Democrats to Vote ‘Present’ on Green New Deal
Breitbart ^ | 27 Mar 2019 | PENNY STARR

The Senate crushed the Green New Deal on Tuesday with a 0-57 vote against the resolution, with three Democrats and one Independent voting “no” and 43 Democrats voting “present.”

Democrats tried to spin the resolution’s failure into a win for the radical proposal, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who introduced it last month and took credit for Democrats not voting in favor of the measure.

“The Green New Deal costs $93 trillion and every single American family $600,000 in the first ten years alone,” Gosar said. “The Green New Deal would significantly increase taxes for all taxpayers in order to pay for this exorbitant fantasy. Make no mistake, the Green New Deal is a death sentence for the American Dream.”

“The fact that 43 Senate Democrats couldn’t bear to vote no on the Green New Deal should frighten the hell out of the country,” Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA)

Like she’s bright enough to think that one up. No, she more than likely told them to give her a “present” and vote Yea on it.

Alexandria communicates best with Interpretive Dance.

“Whaddya think she’s trying to say with all that jiggling, Frank?”

“Well, she’s either saying that she told everyone to vote against her, or she dropped a piece of hot hamburger in her blouse again.”

If the Senate Dems confirm that they did it under her orders, then they are screwed.

If they deny it, then they are screwed.

Obviously Ocasio-Cortez is too smart for her current position. She needs to get her presidential exploratory commission up and running pronto. Probably too late for 2020, but 2024 is just around the corner.

What the hell is wrong with these people ?

They really just play games like this and waste everyone’s time and money.

The new Democrats will collapse, and nothing I mean NOTHING makes me happier to type that sentence.

I still worry about the electorate. The fools in the Congress are symptomatic of something very wrong in this country. “The government that we deserve” is a truly horrific possibility.

This reaction of hers is a bald-faced lie. And it’s a lie she’s not bright enough to think up on her own. Someone else told her to say this.
