ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ WARNS DONALD TRUMP: ‘THE LAST GUY WHO UNDERESTIMATED ME LOST’
Newsweek ^ | 4/3/19 | Ramsey Touchberry

Posted on 04/03/2019 12:17:32 PM PDT by DeathBeforeDishonor1

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.”

“That’s 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 2030—a 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.

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.

Donald wouldn’t even let her wash his jock strap.

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.

You cannot underestimate AOC. Every day she’ll come out with an even more amazing pronouncement.
