New York Congresswoman and radical leftist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced a Twitter backlash following her claims that gas stoves are linked to brain damage.
AOC mocked Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, after he tweeted he would never give up his gas stove on Monday.
The heated exchange went viral, with many slamming Ocasio-Cortez for her claims.
“Did you know that ongoing exposure to NO2 from gas stoves is linked to reduced cognitive performance?” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in response to a tweet from Jackson.
Jackson vowed that he would rather die than give up his gas stove.
“I’ll NEVER give up my gas stove. If the maniacs in the White House come for my stove, they can pry it from my cold dead hands. COME AND TAKE IT!!”
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission commissioner, the agency is considering banning gas stoves over environmental and health concerns.
Ocasio-Cortez took the brunt from politicians and conservative activists who asked the congresswoman how many stoves she owned.
Ocasio-Cortez argued that the “proposal” to ban gas stoves was perfectly reasonable.
“The way we are handling it in NYC isn’t to force people to switch what they already have. Folks can keep their appliances, and new buildings in NYC will have gas-free stoves. As for federally, any proposal from the CPSC would go through a quite lengthy review and input process,” she said.
“Dems are literally insane,” actor Nicholas Tutora wrote.
Tutora also joked that the gas stove will be one of the many luxuries banned by the Biden administration: “Dems will be banning the wheel next.”
“Is this an attack on @GordonRamsey,” Republican Congressional candidate Max Avery tweeted.
“How many [gas stoves] do you have?” actor Matthew Marsden asked.
Freedom Speaks Up CEO Seth Weathers tweeted that Ocasio-Cortez might need to check herself for brain damage after using a stove that uses gas. “Is that what happened to you?”
Virginia state Delegate Nick Freitas said cooking at home was an important part of living in a free society:
“Did you know that it’s a lot harder for the government to arbitrarily cut off your access to power if you’re using gas as opposed to electric? Or is that really the point?”
That would mean that AOC has had several gas stoves with her everywhere she’s gone for the past 25 years.
Brain damage? Only if you fail to ignite the pilot light.
Which is probably her point. She evidently has spent many brain damaging hours with her head in the oven.
I guess brain damage occurs once one is dead
This woman will never go away, unfortunately. She’s in a district that’s overwhelmingly Marxist and crazy.
She’s a great argument for term limits.
She has cooked with gas stoves most of her life and is speaking from experience?
Just how did we survive with natural gas stoves for all these years without these people??
How many chefs in NYC restaurants are starting their plans to relocate? Democrats can’t destroy NY fast enough.
Sandy is a perfect example. What a jackassette.
Well, if she has a gas stove, that would explain a lot.
The only way I can see how a gas stove can cause brain damage is if one falls on your head.
Which I suspect has happened to AOC.
“How many chefs in NYC restaurants are starting their plans to relocate? Democrats can’t destroy NY fast enough.”

Most main stream media is probably not carrying this story because it would infuriate liberal elites who love their gas stoves.
Every dwelling with a kitchen switching from gas to electric will need to upgrade to 200 ampere service.
The power companies, street by street, will have to authorize that according to the power feed capacity on that street.
The power companies may have up increase the service to the entire region as well as street. That can take years.
Only explanation. I believe all the dems cook with gas. Does she want to argue with the congressman who is an MD?
They would just elect another Marxist clone...............
If that’s the case, what about gas furnaces and propane? They also need to be eliminated. People will die over this.
Dims never see a regulation they don’t like.
Banned in NY, banned in crapafornia.
First gas stoves, then the wheel and then fire... back to the stone age for the peons. The pigs will live as they please though.
This is a good fight for Republicans. Let them be the party of the Gas Stoves!
You have to understand that you and I will be paying for AOC’s expensive meals at the natural gas speakeasy, after the ban.
now you’re cookin’ with gas
used to be a good thing
right?
