"PEOPLE ARE DROWNING - UNDER WATER!"
Where else do people drown?
She’s confused. Is it polution or is it
climate change? One we can control, the
other, not so much.
People are dying...
Is she saying that if they pass the green new deal, people will stop dying and will everyone live forever?
Consider that stolen and called my own.
AOC is nothing but a very large pile of useless information
Oh.
One of those French art magazines.
She talks about democrat strongholds as if all of the shit and problems they have created are the fault of white Republicans.
BS lady blame it on the ones who did it, the damn socialist democrats.
About 10 times as many people die of suicide than of all the ‘weather related’ deaths in the United States.
And that’s nothing compared to deaths from heart disease or strokes, or car accidents... AOC is nuts. Or she’s a liar... Or a fool.
People are dying because the city has a huge rat problem. I also hear today that many of these households are full of dust and dirt and many of the parents smoke. Why dont you address these issues first.
People are dying...in Venezuela. And AOC wants to turn the US into Venezuela. No thanks.
She needs to go to China where the air is so much worse than it is here.
Please please please Democrats keep putting this complete moron out there and have her keep talking day after day month after month until the election
I suspect shes probably gone in 2020 the Democrats will put up somebody to destroy her in the primary
Are nominations accepted?
Bet those people in Flint are impressed being called brain damaged.
Hey Alex! Bring me a beer and an order of chicken wings!
