Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezs claim that the world will end in 12 years unless climate change is tackled was accepted as a fact by two-thirds of Democrats, even though she said herself that only those with the social intelligence of a sea sponge could actually believe it.
The New York Democrat drew mockery from Republicans after she made the doomsday warning in a bid to convince people that radical action against climate change is needed.
Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and were like: The world is gonna end in 12 years if we dont address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?' Ocasio-Cortez said. A few months later she repeated the claim again.
Earlier this month, however, Ocasio-Cortez backtracked on the gloomy forecast and instead blamed the Republican Party for taking her humor and sarcasm literally.
"This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and 'fact check' it," she wrote.
But it appears that more than two-thirds of surveyed Democrats took her literally.
A Rasmussen poll, conducted earlier this week, found 67 percent of Democrats believing that the U.S. has only 12 years to avert the disastrous and irreparable damage to the country and the world stemming from climate change. Out of all total likely voters, 48 percent of respondents believed the apocalyptic claim.

Ridicules little idiot!!!
2/3 may “believe it” for a pollster asking questions, but they also don’t GAS. If they did, we’d see far less cars on the roads, far less consumerism, etc. All for the sake of appearances, just like their voting record.
Mindless.
And -- ahem -- does the media do that with President Trump?
She’s so full of crap. Her audience didn’t laugh. They soaked it up like good little brain-dead lemmings. If her audience didn’t understand it as a joke, what does that say about them? She doesn’t like anyone questioning her infinite wisdom because then she looks like the vapid ditz that she is.
It would be humorous if she weren’t a puppet who auditioned for a lethal role in the destruction of our great nation from within and got the part.
She’s easy on the eyes, makes thinking people giggle but just the sort who, that when future historians assess how the USA ceased to be, will be lauded as a key and irreplaceable reason why it was able to occur.
I doubt she even knew what a sea sponge was until someone told her to say that.
She is lying. It was obvious from the video that she meant every word of it. She is like that fool who said, in all seriousness, that Guam might capsize, and then, when he was justly ridiculed, claimed that it was brilliant humor.
Obamas FBI and the Democrat House intel committees cite candidate Trumps joke at the GOP convention about having the Russians look for Hillarys missing emails as the reason they spied on him before and after his election. Now THAT is over-reacting to a joke!
In 11.65 years, there ain’t gonna be no sea sponges.
Almost every Democrat candidate for President has endorsed the Green New Deal. So they are all sea sponges?
“This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and ‘fact check’ it,” she wrote.
Liberal projection rears its ugly head, yet again..
When Ann Coulter, in her sane period, suggested killing Muslim men and converting their women and kids to Christianity, the left parsed it pretty thoroughly. And when Trump asked the Russians to find Hillary’s emails, oh the shouts of treason from the left.
The left is still running with her 12-years-to-die lie and scaring children with it.
Stalinists lie. Always
She’s on the same corrupt AF team as Mildred Gillars/Axis Sally was and Hanoi Jane Fonda too.
Apparently we are supposed to forget the video AOC made about saving the world with the Green New Deal.
Sort of like when the WaPo actually measured the height of a Big Mac and then ran the numbers to disprove Trump's assertion of ordering a mile-high stack of Big Macs for the football players who visited the Whitehouse. All for the purpose of then claming what Trump said saw "another lie".
Be nice to Speaker Ocasio. She faces the challenge of presiding over a caucus with the IQs of sea sponges.
That goes for anything she says.
