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.

I'm lovin' it.
That big brown thing looks like a chicken breast to me. Of course she said it’s a hunk of tofu or some crap. Actually, I can believe that she eats no protein. Her brain is clearly starved of something that it needs, AOC is aggressively stupid.
