Ocasio-Cortez tweets video of damage caused by Dorian: 'This is what climate change looks like'
The Hill ^ | 9/03/19 | OWEN DAUGHERTY

Posted on 09/09/2019 1:21:55 AM PDT by Libloather

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) retweeted a video showing the extent of the damage already caused by Hurricane Dorian as it ravaged the Bahamas over the past few days.

In her post, the freshman lawmaker writes that the video “is what climate change looks like; it hits vulnerable communities first.”

“I can already hear climate deniers screeching: “It’s always been like this! You’re dim,” etc,” she wrote. “No. This is about science & leadership. We either decarbonize&cut emissions, or we don’t & let people die.”

The minute-long video showed flyover shots of Abaco in the Bahamas with the pilot pointing out all the things on the island that are “gone” following Dorian’s destruction.

Are you sure your picture is not from a demokrap governed city?

The caption should be what the US would look like if the demokraps have their hands on the levers of government. There must be pictures of Baltimore and Detroit that would approach hurricane pictures? We can play AOC’s (propaganda) game too, except ours would be much much closer to reality.

“is what climate change looks like”

She would be just as correct if she said, “Aliens did this.”

‘a 27 year old bartender with a degree from a third-rate college.’

if you’re referring to Boston U, it is not a third rate institution...

AOC is hard evidence that either; 1) their degree program is worthless, or 2) they indoctrinate students, instead of educating them, which brings us back around to number 1.

The problem is that her audience is just as stupid as she is, and they believe it.

Same strength storm hit Florida on Labor Day in 1935. Had a chat with a survivor of it last night at church. She was 10 at the time. She remembers many of the survivors were naked and the backs of their ears scabbed up later, as the winds ripped their clothes off and sand in the wind skinned them.

yeah Hannity is a real pain in the rear because ehe reminds us off Trump’s biggest failure. No equal justice under the law.
