Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could not handle President Donald Trump’s mockery of her controversial “Green New Deal” and ripped into him for his comments during a rally.
The New York Democrat fired back at the president after he ridiculed the proposal during a rally in El Paso, Texas on Monday where he called it a “massive government takeover that would destroy the incredible economic gains” made in the nation.
“It sounds like a high school term paper that got a low mark,” Trump said.
“I really don’t like their policy of taking away your car or taking away your airplane flights. Or ‘Let’s hop a train to California,’” he said. “You are not allowed to own cows anymore? There are a lot of problems.”
His remarks during his first “Make America Great Again Rally” of the year drew cheers from the thousands gathered at the El Paso County Coliseum on Monday, but apparently got under Ocasio-Cortez’s skin. The freshman lawmaker and self-proclaimed Democratic socialist lashed out at Trump on Twitter Monday night.
Ah yes, a man who can’t even read briefings written in full sentences is providing literary criticism of a House Resolution.

She quoted a Washington Post article which stated, “Reading the intelligence book is not Trump’s preferred ‘style of learning,’ according to a person with knowledge of the situation.”
The president had already derided Democrats in a tweet encouraging them to move ahead with their “brilliant” proposal.
I think it is very important for the Democrats to press forward with their Green New Deal. It would be great for the so-called “Carbon Footprint” to permanently eliminate all Planes, Cars, Cows, Oil, Gas & the Military – even if no other country would do the same. Brilliant!

Fox News’ Jedediah Bila “loved” Trump’s tweet, noting during “Fox & Friends” that the “Green New Deal” was “so removed from the rational and the practical” that all he could do was “to laugh at it.”
The radical legislation has come under fire for its impractical goals as it seeks net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in 10 years, effectively eliminating all fossil fuel energy production as well as nuclear energy, basically rebuilding every building in America and making air travel unnecessary. The socialist dream plan, which tasks the government with providing for anyone who is “unable or unwilling to work,” would be funded by printing more money.
“They’re coming for your money, and they’re coming for your freedom,” Trump told rally-goers. “It’ll never happen. They won’t even come close folks.”
Several times over.
That’s how to handle this train wreck.
Mock the he!! out of them
Remind folks this is the same old tired agenda of the old Soviet Union just with more bells and whistles or windmills and solar panels. Those in charge mean to reduce your lifestyle.
When kids find out travel will be severely restricted that’ll get their attention.
The intelligence book? Wut?
AOC wants to ban ice cream. (No cows. No cream. No ice cream.)
Occasional Cortex is childish, immature, extremely thin-skinned, STUPID, and grossly incompetent.
She proudly unveiled her breathtakingly ridiculous “Green New Deal,” and the nearly unanimous reaction has been laughter, mockery and ridicule.
When she realized how bad the situation was, she tried to claim that the document on her web site had been somehow sabotaged, then it was just a “draft, “ and then the document was pulled from her web site.
Finally (coward that she is), she went into hiding and sent out her soy boy to take the beatings for her. He hemmed and and hawed, then claimed there were just a few small “typos” in the document.
You can’t make this stuff up LMAO!
“...Both dumb as a box of rocks, however.....”
Agree. However, ALL libs are dumber than a box of rocks....LOL
And yes, some rocks are harder than others...just like libs.
Libs destroy everything they touch....EVERYTHING.
Liberalism is a chronic, no-cure mental disease.
“...She’s giving Pelosi fits...................”
Well, she’s really nothing by PeeLouzie’s “Occasional Kotex”.
#3. The Green Deal is misnamed, on purpose. It should be called the “Red-Green Deal” because it’s Marxism covered in Green bullcrap.
Hey, that would explain why Cortex is so braindead. She’s been sniffing cow farts for too long. Oh the horror if it all.
I’ve found that not many do; even among FReepers.
This woman has a pleasant personality. She, like Trump, comes across as not beholden to the swamp. I wonder if President Trump should be giving her the spotlight.
Macron is working the same plan.
The EBT card is the life blood of the Bronx.
Without it, all commerce would cease, including cocaine and heroin sales.
I don't know who to root for. But I hope to get play-by-play and that it goes into extra innings.
I don't have THAT much popcorn on hand, either.
That would also be a ban on CHOCOLATE........................
What is another word for unnamed sources?
FICTION............................
The new face of the Dems....a rabid anti Semite and a Commie puppet.
Image comes to mind of her stamping her little feet in outrage at him.
Agreed. Seems to be the style today for young women to squash their voice down to the back of their throat where it gets gravelly, and then force it out through their nose. Lately I've been listening to radio show classics from the 30s and 40s, and absolutely none of those women speak like these modern snotty whiners.
I don’t know exactly how Trump gets his briefings, but maybe, just maybe he prefers to have a quick written summary and someone he can ask questions of and get the information he needs not just the info he is given.
