NY Dem calls AOC's Green New Deal a 'socialist' lie, dares her to recruit candidate to beat him
Fox News ^ | -4-19

Posted on 04/04/2019 7:29:22 PM PDT by SJackson

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s 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, who’s facing ridicule over the Green New Deal, her plan for revising U.S. energy policies.

Rose -- who has also previously criticized another far-left freshman Democrat, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, over her remarks about Israel and Jewish lawmakers in the U.S. -- told the MetroFocus program host that while he sees climate change a pressing issue that requires a quick and bold response, Ocasio-Cortez’s plan is just not that solution.

“This is not the time for milquetoast incrementalism,” he said. “It just isn't. But with that being said, nothing about what I just said would provide a justification for a massive socialist economic policy platform. Just not needed.”

He dismissed the Green New Deal goals, such as job and housing guarantees, as economically unfeasible, saying the proponents of the deal are lying to voters.

“There's no need to lie to voters right now," he said. "We don't need the Democratic version of 'repeal and replace.'”

Ha!

A Rose by another name is still a socialist Democrat, if not a Democratic-Socialist.

Go get him, girl.

“her plan for revising U.S. energy policies.”

Now it’s just a small revision to energy policies instead of the wholesale destruction of the largest economy on the planet.

the empty headed flapping mouth does not realize it, but that whole notion has a marxist origin and a bloody history.

So disturbing

Max Rose. Even the Army and combat couldn’t take the New York out of him.

A longtime Navy vet just won a State Senate seat running as a Dem here in Pittsburgh. This despite the fact that she supports:

- Infanticide
- Gun grabbing
- Ramping-up taxes on the one industry that has saved this state

Signs that my Socialist Tipping Point theory is correct and racing towards its unholy conclusion.

“There's no need to lie to voters right now," he said

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. It’s not Trump country per se. Not a place you can admit to having voted for Trump.

There’s a huge Trump sign on top of a building in the town in lived in.
