They're using children as shields against any sort of criticism of the socialist sunrise movement.....these indoctrinated kids came in with words that someone else filled their young impressionable heads with. They came to harass.

Robert Hockett, who worked as an outside adviser to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on the green new deal, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein's (D-Calif.) viral exchange with young activists over the proposal was "unsurprising" and "sad."
Hockett described the 85-year-old Feinstein as "elderly" and an "old timer" in his comments to Hill.TV's Buck Sexton and Krystal Ball on "Rising," saying the young people who confronted the senator have much at stake in the battle over climate change.
"When we're younger we tend to have much bigger ideas as to what's possible. We're more energetic, we're less tired when we're younger, and that means we tend to view many more things as feasible than elderly folks do," said Hockett, a professor at Cornell University.
"When an old timer in the Congress sort of poo-poos them or dismisses them, and even is so cynical as to say well you can't vote for me anyway, so I don't care, it's in a certain sense unsurprising, and yet in another sense, very, very sad," he said.
Feinstein's encounter with children, teenagers and adults working with the Sunrise Movement went viral after clips appeared showing her appearing to dismiss the group. Feinstein said at various points of the discussion that she had worked hard on climate change in the past and had just won her election. She also said that the green new deal could not realistically pass Congress, a point that at least some other Democratic lawmakers also appear to share.
Hockett said the young people who had met with Feinstein have got "many more years ahead of them than do some of old-timers, especially like Senator Feinstein."
"I think for that very reason, they have a much greater sense of urgency on the one hand because they're going to have to live with the most profound effects of climate change in a way that old-timers in the Congress are not going to have to."
Kill the unborn, kill the elderly. It’s the Democratic Party way.
Occasional Cortex is going to find out how ruthless those old lefties can be.
I wouldn’t be surprised if right now there are RINO and dem senators and house members planning her political demise.
I PRAY for this green deal to be on the dem’s agenda in 2020.
Ping.
Wow... I am no fan of Feinswine, but Occassionally-Coherent is kicking a big hornet’s nest....
What goes around comes around.
Bigoted “progressive” Par for the course.
AOC provides comic relief every week.
Green New Deal?
For the 85 year old Feinstein it is the SOYLENT Green New Deal.
Cue the nature scene and music.
Nancy will frag AOC, not for DiFi, but DiFi will still how Nan a solid.

The Left is so full of hatred, it's what they do.
Yikes! What a way for her boyfriend to go!
Oh, please, more of this.
I had a feeling that 2020 is going to make 1968 look like a cakewalk.
I predict that “bug-eyed bitch,” as Roseanne called her, will have a RAT primary challenge in 2020.
Obnoxious Kotex has ruffled too many RAT feathers already.
In two years AOC won’t be able to find employment as a dishwasher. She’s toast.
Don’t take that kind of guff, Dianne!
Get out there and kick her scrawny ass!
Feinstein is being Trotskied.
