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.

OH NOES I bet Trump is really scared of a freakin MORON like AOC..she is mentally retarded but she thinks highly of herself so thats a plus
Wasn’t Trump underestimated too? Last time I checked, he’s still POTUS!
The Don has said that for the last two years.
Let’s talk to the last guy who dated you, dear. I’d love to hear what he has to say.
She’s floundering.
I really don’t think she EVER stops talking.
Can you imagine what it is like to be anywhere withing 50ft of her?
Laff Riot AOC Ping!
AOCD won barely 16% of the Democrat voters casting ballots. This doesn’t include any Republican voters in the same race. So I’m sure President Trump is shuddering in his boots over your influence miss bar back assistant.
Hahahhahahahahhaha. You dumb ass puppet, dont even realize you are a puppet... you realize they LET YOU WIN... moron
Says the idiot who thinks cows eat grain from troughs.
I can't speak for Donald, but there's no way she'd get within ten feet of any of my next-to-the-skin garments. I'm disease-free, and would like to keep it that way.
“Seriously, she has the IQ of dust”
And a seriously big mouth.
its like mocking the mentally retarded.

It’s not like mocking the mentally retarded... it IS mocking the mentally retarded. That twat is dumber than a box of rocks.
Get Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Ajax Occasional Kotex into a locked convertible with the top down and they wouldn’t ever be able to get out...
She’s a last word queen, in addition to being an annoying ditz.
You cannot underestimate AOC. Every day she’ll come out with an even more amazing pronouncement.
