Ocasio-Cortez adrift without Chakrabarti
American Thinker ^ | 8/21/19 | Bobby Harr

Posted on 08/21/2019 10:28:01 AM PDT by DeathBeforeDishonor1

"So how is Ocasio-Cortez holding up since the departure of the author of her entire agenda? Not so well."

"....Less than two weeks after Chakrabarti ditched the bartender-turned-socialist to bask in his lavish Silicon Valley lifestyle, she's in shambles. A once-eloquent speaker has entirely lost the ability to explain her flagship proposal, so she's going all in on the climate aspect of the Green New Deal. Without Chakrabarti's brains, Ocasio-Cortez is embarrassingly doubling down on the sham of a bill that has now been debunked by Chakrabarti himself."

"Recently, Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter to claim that coal-miners are allegedly now on board with her proposed Green New Deal. You know, because they're fed up with "policies"."

"The tweet included a link to an article published by the Guardian headlined "'Coal is over': the miners rooting for the Green New Deal."

Residents in Ocasio-Cortez's district can sleep peacefully knowing she's spending her time attempting to convince Americans that coal-miners like windmills and solar panels. When she's not busy with that, you can catch her back on Twitter arguing with Barstool Sports' founder Dave Portnoy over who he's allowed to permit his employees to direct message.

"Without Chakrabarti, the freshman congresswoman doesn't seem to have much sense of direction. From the constant ambiguity of her flagship $92-trillion fantasy bill to her inability to define "democratic socialism," Sandy O continues to erode at her own credibility."

There are those who believe she is little more than an actress hired at a casting call to impersonate a government official.

Her scriptwriter left her and now she has no lines to read.

We can hope she is a flash in the pan and will disappear after this term without her Svengali.

Same here.

Maybe she can't figure out how to get money to him?

Pelosi told her to lose him if she wants any chance to at reelection in 2020. Maybe she made it clear that "lose him" means he's gone, and that she'll be watching to make sure it happens.

AOC can now begin cultivating Nancy Pelosi’s vacant stare. You can almost hear the dial tone.

Maybe Pelosi showed AOC some evidence that Chakrabarti is not her friend.

She’ll be fine.

Just look at other Congress critters like Maxine Watters. Watters is all stupid, all the time - it has never hurt her.

Yeah, I have many contacts in both industries (coal and renewables). I can tell you with absolute certainty that half (if not much more) of coal families do NOT support renewables, and work to prevent new wind and solar farms... and they hate the Green new Deal even more. They see both as their families going bankrupt and losing their homes.

(Most of my friends in wind and solar are actually pro-coal, as well... it doesn't have to be a competition for existence, both are needed, both help diversify our resources, and both help keep energy plentiful and cheap.... and NOBODY is pro-GreenNewDeal.)

Chakrabarti was the brains behind AOC!!

Without her brain, all AOC can do is mouth utter nonsense!!!! She should be run out of Congress in the next election!

Meanwhile, Chakrabarti and AOC have a bit of legal trouble:

Wind is not needed unless you think we have too many birds.

Clearly, we're not talking about the same person, unless "wrong on everything" is acceptable as eloquent.
