Ocasio-Cortez claps back at Jonah Goldberg: 'Totally get it if you've never bothered to read the legislation'

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) defended her Green New Deal initiative after The Dispatch editor Jonah Goldberg called the legislation a “fantasy.”

“Totally get it if you’ve never bothered to read the legislation you’re commenting so authoritatively on,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Thursday.

Jonah Goldberg Tweet: "Man this is so dumb and dishonest. You could confiscate every penny held by every billionaire and multimillionaire in America and it wouldn't cover a fraction of your Green New Deal fantasy. "

Goldberg, a former National Review columnist, responded to a different tweet from the congresswoman suggesting higher taxes for the rich could have enhanced the administration’s response to the virus. He said she “could confiscate every penny held by every billionaire and multimillionaire in America and it wouldn't cover a fraction of your Green New Deal fantasy.”

“The Green New Deal is a non-binding resolution of values. It does not have a price tag or CBO score and costs us $0 if passed,” the congresswoman tweeted.

Goldberg is a fraud as a conservative, but he got this right:

“Man this is so dumb and dishonest. You could confiscate every penny held by every billionaire and multimillionaire in America and it wouldn’t cover a fraction of your Green New Deal fantasy. “

The only thing I don’t understand about her is why SO MANY conservatives spend SO MUCH time thinking about her.

“she “could confiscate every penny held by every billionaire and multimillionaire in America and it wouldn’t cover a fraction of your Green New Deal fantasy.”

“Totally get it if you’ve never bothered to read the legislation”

Translation: The bill doesn’t confiscate every penny ... yet.

Oh so Goldberg decided to take a day off from attacking his own party to go back to targeting leftists.

Jonah Goldberg is a punk, who just happens to be right this time. Used to like him but not anymore since he outed himself as a Never-trumper.
