esponding to fresh criticism from President Donald Trump Tuesday evening that her Green New Deal climate change proposal was done by a young bartender, Democrat Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez told Newsweek Wednesday that the last guy who underestimated me lost.
Thats all I gotta say about that, she added.
In an unexpected upset, the freshman New York congresswoman and former bartender unseated incumbent Democratic Congressman Joseph Crowley in her 2018 primary election.
Ocasio-Cortez has faced continued criticism from Republicans and the president for her ambitious climate change proposal, which seeks to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and for the U.S. to operate on 100 percent renewable energy by 2030a feat critics say is unrealistic, in addition to overly expensive.
A young bartender, wonderful young woman, the Green New Deal. The first time I heard it, I said, That's the craziest thing, Trump said Tuesday evening at a fundraising dinner for the National Republican Congressional Committee.
But he told Republicans not to kill the proposal just yet.
Don't kill it because we want to be able to run against it, the president said. If they beat me with the Green New Deal, I deserve to lose.
In a Senate vote last week, which Democrats classified as political showboating by Republicans while the GOP said it gave Democrats the opportunity to express their support on the record, the Green New Deal failed to advance. In protest to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell putting the non-binding resolution up for a vote before having hearings or debates, Democrats voted "present" with Republicans voting against it. The final vote was 0-57.
Despite House Democratic leadership showing little willingness to consider the Green New Deal as a whole, Ocasio-Cortez told Newsweek that was not the point of the proposal.

And they may be worried about hiding their tracks now that AOC is being investigated by the FEC and has three violations already discovered.

the last people who underestimated Potus lost.
I’ve seen REAL cows. I know what they eat.
She may not realize it, but she’s lost plenty of times since.
Hey Alex......go get me a f&$king beer and shut the f$&k up!
The left get their power via threats and bluff... just being louder and more determined and more ‘out there’ and assuming they are in charge... or soon will be.
We’ve seen this young socialist get the media following her... it’s her gall.. we’ve seen her do to pelosi what the gop has not... we’ve seen her outlandish ideas being played ad copied by the dems...
The bully picks on the one he can... he goes after the weak.. the one he can beat up and not get hurt. it’s not ever fair.. it’s a war!
What is keeping the gop from playing this game for keeps... what is keeping them from taking over and getting this dog and pony show going in the right direction.
Pres Trump needs to hit the trail a running and not let any of them stop what he has to do.. that’s the only way to win this war in this climate.. it stinks!! Fix it... do what has to be done and hill with anyone who does not like it... wtihout someone to do the right thing... we perish!
She is a BU girl. She probably doesn't even know who Catherine the Great is. But she almost surely thinks she is way smarter, prettier, and popular than she is.
How bout dat? lol
REAL cows eat grain, in fact, cattle raised for beef are generally finished on grain.
And, REAL cows frequently eat from a trough.
We have passed the use by date for this idiot by the media.
Shes a certified moe-ron.
well, isn’t she special? Always quick to prove just how classless and low-rent her world is.
And by the way, National Enquirer, let’s find this ‘underestimated’ last guy and get his side of the story, since she brought him up and all
She needs to realize that she won when only 19% voted and Pelosi is looking for a primary challenger to exploit the Amazon issue.

“...A conservative group filed a 21-count Federal Election Commission complaint Wednesday against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez alleging that her unreported arrangement with the Justice Democrats PAC violated campaign finance laws.
The Daily Caller News Foundation first reported that Ocasio-Cortez and her chief of staff held legal control over the political action committee at the same time it was supporting her campaign.
The Coolidge Reagan Foundations FEC complaint is the third filed against Ocasio-Cortez in the past five weeks...”
What about the airhead’s ties to Soros and have they been investigated with a microscope?
It would, indeed be interesting.
FOTFLOL!!!!!!
She doesn’t have a clue.
No one has ever accused Donald Trump of too much humility; and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez out shines our POTUS ten-fold in her arrogance and self illusions about her greatness.
