Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could not handle President Donald Trumps 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 dont like their policy of taking away your car or taking away your airplane flights. Or Lets 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-Cortezs skin. The freshman lawmaker and self-proclaimed Democratic socialist lashed out at Trump on Twitter Monday night.
Ah yes, a man who cant 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 Trumps 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 Trumps 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.
Theyre coming for your money, and theyre coming for your freedom, Trump told rally-goers. Itll never happen. They wont even come close folks.
POTUS Trump attacked the idiocy of the proposed Policy.
She attacked POTUS Trump personally.
That’s how it works.
Example:
Statement: I don’t agree with your stances on Illegals, Gays, the Climate, Big Government etc.
Response: You’re a White Supremacist Homophobe Nazi Climate Denier Hater.
It makes for a healthy debate...

argumentum ad hominem
Yes, she complained last week of his ‘Ad hominem’ attack on her plan.................LOL! What a dumbass!...............
Pelosi will slap her down.
Soon.........................
Pelosi Galore needs to call Willie Brown and ask him to ask AOC out on a date. Willie knows what she desperately needs to calm her down.
(Worked with Round Heels Harris)...
She sounds like she is still in high school.

Eat your own poison there Bug eyes.
What did she say, “Nu-uh!”?
Well that's rather sexist of Alinksy, isn't it?
Failed term paper, good one!
She calls it the “Green New Deal” because she can’t spell “Communism”.
The more she talks the more insane and ridiculous she appears to rational people.
Yup! AOC = Another Outspoken Communist
“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!”
Ha. I think we should start calling the “Green New Deal” by another name.... “Unilateral De-industrialization”
She rips into him?
“Ah yes, a man who cant even read briefings written in full sentences is providing literary criticism of a House Resolution. “
this lady is psychotic. That’s the comeback of a two year old mentality. It’s your “Who Dat.”
I thought Obama was the ultimate light weight, no she is...BUT BUT I must admit, I love her honesty.
I’d love to see her on Laura’s show.
Yeah I had thin skin when I was a brain dead Democrat too
If we fact-check her, no one is saying Trump can't read the briefings because the quote sighted only says reading isn't his preferred method of learning the information.
Then, the Deplorables will meet them in the field using the fossil fuel equipment that they have retained in defiance of "the law".
In the aftermath, the Deplorables can decorate the spikes of The Great Southern Wall with the heads of New Green Dealers...
Yeah, but when will she be interviewed about this fantasy document? And no Joy Behar or Jimmy Kimmel softballs.
There is a great commentary in the National Post today by Rex Murphy. The online title is different than the print edition however. The print edition title describes the GND as an eruption of stupidity. :)
