U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezs Green New Deal is a lie to voters and a massive socialist program, a fellow New York Democrat, U.S. Rep. Max Rose, asserted in a television interview.
Rose then dared Ocasio-Cortez to recruit a candidate to run a primary challenge against him, saying he would lay out the red carpet.
The comments from Rose, a 32-year-old U.S. Army veteran who served in Afghanistan -- earning Purple Heart and Bronze Star for his service -- followed multiple questions and comparisons to the firebrand New York congresswoman, whos facing ridicule over the Green New Deal, her plan for revising U.S. energy policies.

Max Rose. Even the Army and combat couldn’t take the New York out of him.
I am a New Yorker, so I know that doesnt explain it for me
There, clarified.
My sympathies to you...and me here in illannoy.
Oh I escaped to Texas.
OK, then when is it the right time to lie to voters? Sheesh, the Dems are breaking apart like the sinking titanic and the media covers it up.
Hope that took the New York out of you...but then you were probably one of the normal ones and that’s why you split.
I knew a few people I could relate to in NY. The cost of living got so high.
Suffolk County is red - the entire east half of Long Island. Its not Trump country per se. Not a place you can admit to having voted for Trump.
Theres a huge Trump sign on top of a building in the town in lived in.
