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.

Just a desperate attempt by the barmaid to remain relevant ... even if only on the political fringe.

I am sure that Trump is now scared, very scared.

This woman is a lunatic. That’s why the Dems are pushing her.

"The last guy who underestimated me lost.”

Yeah, but he was a Democrat.

And her comment about FDR and the 22nd Amendment was not the point she was making either.

IOW pay no heed heed to what she said yesterday.

I notice that our President has not responded at all lately to personal attacks by our domestic enemies.

I really hope there’s a very large hammer being quietly raised right now.

Even PDJT appears to be taking pity on the pinheaded one.

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.”

Although he may have a point, I think he is just trying to be nice.

Cortez is an idiot.
