Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continues to draw fire from her critics on the right for her Green New Deal, but the New York Democratic congresswoman is making fresh headlines this weekend for getting slammed by what would seem an unlikely voice: a former president of Greenpeace Canada.
Here’s what Patrick Moore, who left his high-ranking role at Greenpeace decades ago, had to say on Twitter TWTR, -0.52% about her:
‘You’re just a garden-variety hypocrite like the others. And you have ZERO expertise at any of the things you pretend to know.’
He launched his latest criticism at Ocasio-Cortez — there have been others — following a piece in the New York Post, which called her out for claiming the environmental high ground while riding around in planes and gas guzzlers.
Moore was clearly triggered. He went on to call out Ocasio-Cortez as “pompous little twit” and “an immature bully” whose “arrogance plus ignorance... is a recipe for disaster.” She’s “unjustifiably condescending” and “a neophyte pretending to be wise," Moore said during his Twitter tirade.
Ocasio-Cortez’s detractors were quick to embrace and trumpet the views of the self-proclaimed “sensible environmentalist.” It’s important to note, however, that Greenpeace long ago distanced itself from Moore, saying he “often misrepresents himself in the media as an environmental ‘expert’ or even an ‘environmentalist,’ while offering anti-environmental opinions on a wide range of issues.”
Greenpeace accuses him of exploiting former ties with the group and portraying himself as a prodigal son who’s seen the error of his ways. “Unfortunately, the media — especially conservative media — give him a platform for his views, and often do so without mentioning the fact that he is a paid spokesperson for polluting companies,” Greenpeace said in a scathing 2010 statement.
Meanwhile, Ocasio-Cortez keeps building her case for the Green New Deal:

why didn’t we say this first——
“arrogance plus ignorance... is a recipe for disaster.”
Great analysis.
Self help guru Anthony Robbins once denounced overly confident people who “have confidence without competence.”
That could apply to the arrogant AOC, too.
This is the guy who got to hell away from the org he helped found after the GD freaks infiltrated and took it over.
Anyone notices she keeps saying “either do something about the warming(hoax) or shut up”, and yet this guy does advance something and she attacks him.
In liberal speak, take the leadership means do not criticize me and pay for my sins or shut up
Yes, they all are 2020 Alinskyists who killed the real eco scientists hippies
That's standard Leftist stuff -- "Let's have a dialogue". It means they lecture us and insult us, and we sit there and just shut up.
That game used to work.
The idiot is called a “media darling”, was celebrated at Sundance Film Festival, her every utterance is tweeted and repeated, and now there’s going to be a comic book about her.
She must have a hell of a PR machine behind her when she is actually so obviously stupid and her pronouncements are crazy and yet how many rat POTUS candidates have come out to agree with her? This has got to be some sort of charade!
Can she even garden? To be green, she should have a home garden and grow her own vegetables, compost garbage, and refrain from using plastic (including straws). She should walk or cycle everywhere, even refraining from riding polluting buses and cars. Poor choice of employment as a bartender, a lot of energy is expended in making alcoholic drinks. She could have worked in a green job (I can't figure out what a green job would be, but she could have done it). Meanwhile, stay off jet planes, and gas-guzzling vehicles, and don't eat meat.
Oh OK.
“Unfortunately the media gives him a platform for his views”
Tells you all you need to know about today’s left.
High self-esteem for no apparent reason.
How did she manage to win a seat in Congress and who funded her? Therein lies the tale...
And that PR machine had to get ramped up after she got elected in November.
Should have used an "a" instead of an "i" in the four letter word.
so hilarious watching the Green New Deal to tackle gloBULL warming being pushed by AOC & the FakeNewsMSM when:

3 Mar: Daily Inter Lake, Montana: Deep freeze settles over Flathead
An extreme cold weather warning was issued for the Flathead Valley through 11 a.m. Monday morning, with thermometer readings expected to crash as low as 15 to 30 degrees below zero.
“An extreme cold warning means that dangerously low temperatures are expected for a prolonged period of time,” the National Weather Service in Missoula warned. “Frostbite and hypothermia are likely if exposed to these temperatures.”
Local power outages and broken pipes are possible...
The arctic surge is expected to continue through Tuesday, with temperatures running about 20 degrees below average.

Yeah, it makes me wonder why her leadership hasn’t shut her down. The rat leadership must be that rudderless and I hope they let AOC keep yapping. Has anybody else noticed that Romney has run-silent/run-deep since he ran his mouth about Trump around Christmastime and then issued his lame “apology” soon after. Not that Repub leadership is really any better but they knew Mitt RINO was making everybody look bad and directed him to shut his cakehole.
as to where AOC comes from!
