Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) attempted to defend President Biden’s proposed ban on gas stoves in a viral Twitter spat Tuesday — only to be heckled herself by snarky social media users.
“Did you know that ongoing exposure to NO2 from gas stoves is linked to reduced cognitive performance,” the Bronx and Queens lawmaker tweeted in response to Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) vowing to “NEVER” give up his gas stove.
But the congresswoman’s attempted clap-back backfired, as detractors — mainly politicians and conservative activists — were quick to pile on.
“Is this an attack on @GordonRamsey,” joked Max Avery, a former Arkansas state legislature candidate.
“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?” asked Virginia Republican Delegate Nick Freitas. “Or is that really the point?

How come we NEVER ever heard before today that “gas stoves damage your brains” or that “gas stoves hurt minority children and give them asthma.”?
This comes just as cold stare kathy hohcul bans gas stoves, and the biden administration does the same on almost the same day?
Oh all of a sudden we’re “piling on.”
I don’t know if anyone has asked this question (I can’t be the first, can I):
What about gas furnaces? What does the government propose to do about gas furnaces? Surely they are a greater threat.
I think AOC has had her head in the oven too long…
Gas furnaces are vented outside while most stoves and ovens aren’t. Well, my furnace was vented inside for a while after some roofers dropped the chimney stack without telling me their mistake.
The simple solution is that all new gas stoves/ranges need to be vented.
I grew up in a house in WNY. Our gas range was vented. As was the range hood. Not recirculated.
Yeah
I’ve cooked on both, hate the electric. Harder to clean, and expensive to fix. This house came with electric, 4 days before Christmas the front Right burner, blew out the stove. Hub is retired, Electronics College Prof. Blew the main fusebox. Tripped it back on, still a dead stove. Trip to Appliance store, 3 days installing new parts, resetting the digital junk. $90 buck fix, as a repairman was eliminated. Then we got hit with TVA’s rolling Blackouts on Christmas Eve. Good thing I had made candles and had old oil lamps filled. We’ve lived in several states due to his first 20 yr career in the USN.
Lolszzz You can’t make this sheeeete up! Is AOC’s brain damaged from her mother’s gas stove? You know, them PRs are cooking beans all day on a slow bubble. Same for stews.
PR= Puerto Rican
She must have grown up in a home with numerous gas stoves.
If that’s true, then she must have one.
Lol. That would be a high capacity assault oven
She obviously has a house full of gas stoves.
Anything over 4 burners should be outlawed!
No one needs that much fire power!
