Blah blah blah. You have moxie but not a lot of common sense. Please learn your job before you try to run the Democratic Party into the ground.

You propose ridiculous things there is a good chance you get mocked .. not even 1 of her Democrat cronies voted for the proposal.. just present .. lol that’s hysterical .. not even those people wanted their names associated with this garbage .. “oh that was the plan “

Why does she talk like a valley girl?!!

LOTS more people die from lead poisoning, all over the globe. WHY not tax going to war?

This lady really makes me happy that some women are as strong and liberal as she is.

I can kinda see how actually taking the Green New Deal serious is like mocking it. I mean, if it's so dumb, putting it for a vote is clearly an attack on it.

Just read a book and get back to me! You need so much learning. Your not twelve anymore princess!

👊

Have all the dems take a cut in pay and travel less and lets get the issue resolved.. this would be impossible So too all thats being said.. due to dems.

When we are greedy & careless in how we treat our beautiful planet, Mother nature let’s us know. How some are so sinical & caloused, is beyond logic. We should care about the future of your children and their children.

Hummm, so says an oil dark $$$$$ recipient! Get her a new iPad!

With their arm moves, she and Beto could conduct an orchestra...

Great speech

How would you like waking up each morning to this raving assault on normal life? We have enough crazy things to deal with so check please, I am out of here!

Looking at her, the way she lives makes her a hypocrite. Everything around her supports the cause of her “passion” livewhatyoupreach

Beautiful!

Almost as passionate when we lost those entire nations off the face of the Earth in the year 2000. 🙄

NIT WIT

People are figuring out how uninformed she is.

It is truly disgusting the amount of influence money has in our politics and effects our daily lives because our elected officials feel the need to sell themselves ....From big pharma, Oil companies, and NRA...what a racket

She's , out of her mind.

Lunacy.

Yes truth!!!!!!!!

I am feeling prettygood

Passionate but stupid. Some of us know the difference.

She is s buffoon

🙏

LASeoulGuy She’s an abomination

No matter the era your always going to have someone dying. What's the next so-called larger than life issue? Oh, let me guess another Ice age, the quacks they called scientist in 70s already predicted that. The 1 cause of global warming is over population not climate change.

Have said all along she needed to listen more, talk less. Anyone could see it wasn’t time for her plan. And a number of dem voters don’t support it

You Go Girly Girl !!!!!!

One and done.

She is now one of the elitist when it comes to healthcare coverage and other benefits that the average American don’t have. Her Green New Deal has too many hidden features that she has failed to acknowledge.

It's ridiculous, everyone but politicians have to make sacrifices! We don't need some unattainable outrageous green plan if everyone did their little part. The USA can't save the entire world.

Quack AOC. GET A LIFE

Liberal propaganda slanted headline. Learn to write

A passionate speech filled with emotional lies that won't stand up, yelling and pounding doesn't produce truth simple facts does

Nobody cares about this deal look at the poles

Passionate? More like a blame game to me. She is not showing any intelligence with that green deal demands

One and done

What was said or not John 3:16 follow are Heavenly Father’s teachings and our Savior Jesus Christ if we follow them all work out fine

And we have Elderly that are sick and Homeless need medication they matter all AMERICANS matter lets worry about Americans not who said

Quit the negativity and destruction what matters most is our Children and making sure none goes. Hungry and our homeless have places to stay

John 3:16 John 3:16 No man is a Island no man stands alone each man is my brother each man is my friend this goes for all AMERICA we need

Why TF is twitter posing this on my timeline.? WTF. We get it. You love Communism and and foolish AOC.....

I love you 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

What a Democratic joke. They own her. Press follows her. I get to let her know how stupid she is every time she posts. I don’t follow her, she just keeps showing up!! I like to be reminded of stupidity in this world!

I want a hamburger... no, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake...

I couldn’t hear a thing, the hands everywhere are distracting

Who is going to pay for all this?

The only person trying to do something for constituents and all anyone can do is bash her. She may be extreme but these times call for extreme measures. I respect this young lady very much. She has courage!!!

Flooded towns will come back! God Bless America and the great US companies that will give goods and funds to see that through, but seriously this has nothing to do with your laughable green deal.

From RBG 'take Small Steps'

Pointless legislation. Pointing out the flaws and stupidity of it is not mocking.

Typical left waa story

The ONLY accomplishment her “Green Deal” would make would be to strengthen the class system in our country, and make the elitists more powerful.

She's a loony

I keep turning up my phone so I can hear her, but I can’t over the sound of my federally potected farts.

She’s an idiot. Totally misses the point. Green New Deal - Climate Change agenda is about transferring wealth and power from the poor and middle class to the globalists elite. Has nothing to do with drinking water in Flint run by dims

Mocked ha ha.

No idea, why the DemMedia keep promoting her

If she's so concerned about Flint then she should introduce a bill to fix it, instead of her Green new deal which is a fantasy at best.

Does she ever fact check anything before she begins her baboon rants !!?

She really is an idiot, everyone on the right thanks God daily she got elected cause it only proves how lost the DNC really is.

And you guys think shes crazy! Nope!

Save us, go back to being a waitress.

As it should be mocked.... total crap

What is it with all the hand movement (RepBetoORourke) Cortez? AOC RepAOC Amazon GreenNewDeal Legacy

I wouldn't want to be on the opposite side of her when she's had a few years under her belt. Because she'll definitely be a force to be reckoned with.

Boy did she! She gave it to those climate denier's with both barrels.

And people mocked her speech why because

Laughing stock. That is what she is

Her proposal was too extreme. Thats the actual problem. Regular people can’t conform to what she was trying to pass.

This is crazy woman.

I love her look a lot. She rocks those bifocal frames from circa 1993 like no other. Plus she’s gorgeous

She is in the wrong Country to push her Green Agenda program. The USA has done a great job at minimizing pollution using the Free Enterprise System!

This woman is nuts.

0-57... AOC... you're a joke!

She has a plan

The boss has shrieked once again.

Blah Blah Blah 🙄

In some way it is an elite concern because our planet (the Earth) is considered elite. There is no other like it.

AOC LoopyDingbat MeltDownAlert 😆

She may save us.

I find her attractive, but that’s largely irrelevant.

Because it is open for mockery.

Idiot

With that performance you should get a academy award! Kill the cows now !

Did she break the the law by not having health insurance or did she pay the penalty ! Could be interesting ! Why don't you find out !?

There where all the green house gas is coming from, the longer she talk the worse it gets.

Passion...but not intelligent. She is an amateur. Only reason she isn't shunned is she has a large following of equally passionate idiots following her.

Green deaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahllllll....

What happened to to your Obama care if you just got medical insurance For the first time Last month ?

She has pipe dreams

All I got is NY elected a taco waitress who thinks she said anything in defense of the deal that has nothing to do with floods in the midwest. lead paint in the north east or water poisoning in Michigan. Betting her customers never got those tacos as she thought it junk food.

Right On! Keep up the good fight! xo

She cray.

Anyone who goes to an emergency room will vet treated no matter if they have insurance or not! The Government must not be allowed to run Health care! The Government cant run shit and keep it in a Budget! We have the best Health care system in the world and needs left alone!

Can someone please pull her aside and teach her something

Lol she’s so embarrassing

More like a lunatic talking.

How does it go again...? Facts don’t care about yourself feelings. History is full of well intentioned actions that lead to death and destruction.

0-57

Sad to see people insulting & demeaning AOC’s prior vocation. Irrespective of her political leanings, it is super commendable that she got elected to be a representative. It says something fundamental about America. That one doesn’t have to be a millionaire to get elected!

Can we all stop talking/following her, PLEASE!

I got distracted after she mentioned tacos 🌮...what did she say GreenNewDisaster

People who choose to raise their voice are typically the people who are wrong. Speaking louder doesn’t change anything.

Your rock !! AOC .. you have a big fight. Sweden should be a big example to where the USA can be environmentally

Can only hope she's a one termer.

space makeup, omg, we need zero gravity space makeup. of course a tube of lipstick would set you back say, mmm, $1000.-

Can you get me a cold beer and some nachos? That’s about all your good for!

Like everything in life, i like some things she says and hate other things she says

AOC LOL! 😂 LoopyDingbat MeltDown

It’s elitist because the bill has communist agenda in the fine print and pork barrel spending toward “Democratic Socialism.” Not even your most liberal Domocrats voted for this communist Trojan Horse bill. America should shoot down any communist/socialist attempts!

Lol omg who voted for this woman she was a bar tender before this she don't know what she saying lol

Then tell your buddy from Flint to put more focus on her water than impeachment. Oh and by the way... welcome to the swamp.

And by “passionate” we mean “crazy AF”.

Hows the farmers she cares about gonna power there farms and all the vehicles they need to produce on it and get around? Maniac

If she was an army general it would have to be Patton. Only because of her singleness of purpose. That is what is needed to wake up the plant to the most crucial issue of the 21st century. Economies have been in transition since the invention of the wheel. Mostly to our benefit.

She needs to see psychology... and congress have enjoy good show 😂😂😂😂

Funny u got orders wrong doing something as easy as waitressing in a taco shop.....what makes u think u can get them right for the United States of America u dumb a$$ AOC

Insane How can anyone take anything she says serious it's so Damn stupid

Public Servants need to step up and voice their concern over some of these issues to limit healthcare and the welfare of clean public water systems and breathable air.

29 Years old and no health insurance!!1 HOW IRRESPONSIBLE IS SHE?

maga

This is an example of what drives me crazy when 45 seeks to cut ACA & says republicans will be known as the healthcare party. Flint water is a huge health problem with NO PLAN from anyone to address it. The only plan that I see is attempts to reduce healthcare coverage - sad.

Ya, and and Cheerios are donut seeds!

But your plan to fix any of it is really really really really STUPID and illogical. Maybe we can just get Thanos in here to wipe out 85% of the world population and send us all back to the dark ages. We can all eat moldy bread and put rat guano poultices on our wounds again

Go back to the taco shop, loser.

I still fail to see how rebuilding every single building in the US and paying people who don't want to work is going to save the environment.

Present

Still no explanation as to how average families are going to pay for it though

Scale back that attitude a little bit please.

Passionate, but empty.

Go get em Gurl...💪💪💪

Who can stand that SCREECHING, talks to people like they’re 5 yrs old and she knows best! Pathetic! Then whines she has to WORK ALL DAY!

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🤮🤮

tired of listening to her and her other two cronies.

Can you fact check that she never had health insurance? I am sure she was covered under someone's plan.

Doo Doo

The Green New Deal is stupid!

Looks like she needs to go back to the Taco shop...this Congress stuff is over her head.

SHUT UP!!

Ah, bless her heart.

Why didn’t she have healthcare through the ACA? Wasn’t there a fine for not having health insurance until Trump repealed it?

Wait...back up a second. Just got health insurance for the first time a month ago?Isn’t that what the ACA exchange was for - so taco shop waitresses could get insurance for almost nothing? So then she chose not to be insured paid the tax penalty? Yeah right...

Tee hee, tee hee

Passion? Hope many DEMOCRATS voted fro GREEN DEAL Oh that’s right 000000000000000000

Knowledge is deeper than the ocean and wider than the sky. There is always so much to learn. So always keep your mind open to learn new things and you will find yourself everyday becoming wiser than yesterday.

Manic

Wow. She actually said something smart in that rant

It may be a serious issue but no one can take AOC seriously.

OMG MAKE HER SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Democrats didn’t support her. Wasting time on nonsense. Press complicit for giving her and other freshman air

Cant stand this bimbo

One word. Communist

Obviously, You should go to Hollywood to be an actress or still be a waitressing rather than being a representative, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez.

I can really use a cold beer right about now ...🍺

Pump the brakes, sweetie. This environmental “crisis” didn’t happen overnight and taxpayers can’t afford to fix it overnight. Little changes over a longer period of time. Conservation in our daily lives is a start.

Cities underwater, world ending in twelve years, everyone is going to die, lions and tigers and bears oh my... lol

A. Midwest towns have flooded in the past and again will recover. B. Cramming millions of people in cities will cause health problems. We have so much earth to use yet we strive to stack humans like cord wood in large cities.

Lol

She is an idiot. Quit overpopulating metropolitan areas. I live in a city with 80,000 Surrounded by forests with small towns scattered around us. EVERYONE has at least one V8 or Diesel powered pickups. Most of us have 2. I breathe cleaner air than Silicon Valley, Prius Land.

Enemy within our USA this demwit mascot

Grow up cupcake. You sit at the grownup table now.

maybe point in more different directions and talk a little louder. i dont think we got it

I could bet my life savings on the fact that if people were dying all over the place from dirty water and air in our country it would be plastered all over the news.

If she cares about the poor, why does she want them to starve and freeze?

She says people are dying but this is not the case in the mainstream America. And in the cases where water has been dirty & people are dying in America has not been a federal issue.

Why's she always complaining about the taco shop? What did it ever do to her? I used to work in Big Mike's Tacos shop on Hennepin. Do you see me hollering about it, AOC?

You should still be waitressing or something besides this.

None of which has anything to do with climate change. Excellent animated arm movement but no substance. Nice try shit stirrer. We ain't buying it.

With AOC, you characterize her passion. Were this President Trump, you’d highlight the 53-0 vote. You don’t report the news. You push a narrative.

Did she pay her finetfie not having insurance to the irs?

USA Today she has zero intelligence ...why are you trying so hard to make her relevant

She does realize those Midwest towns have flooded before and will flood again and they actually flood less now than before - that’s just modern history.

Mocked the deal. No one on either side voted for it... get over yourself

Too bad NO senator voted for your great plan. 0-100 not for your plan

OOOOOOOOO THIS WOMAN IS FUCKING FUMING! I love it. She is my new spirit animal. 👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏻

Partisan as usual and the flooding in Nebraska has nothing to do with the end of the world. It is an extraordinary occurrence and climate has done that throughout the history of mankind. The world is steadily in motion with few REAL changes; only gradual as designed.

I'm with her on this. That craziness that Repubs came up with to disparage this Green New Deal is just more of their own elitist BS. One fool said to combat climate change, fall in love, get married & have children. Won't work if there's no safe air to breath or no planet left.

As childish as she is, we will be hearing about defeat for awhile What fun !!

Can we ship her off to China, please... 🙏🏻

Well the ACA would have given her health insurance if she was really financially in need right?

'Passionate' yet incomprehensible.

She's so hot, I don't even care what she says.

comunista

What did she accomplish? She going on one of her rants because the GND was shot down by her own party. Stupid.

elitistrant

Lol

0-57. Hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Great!

Nice speech 👍

All of our Representatives should be this passionate as they serve us, the American People!

🤙🏼 idontthinkso !!!

This is what it looks like when your heart is bigger than your wallet.

Sit down or better go away

Critiques means scientists, economists and realists

Just in: We accidentally inserted the word “passionate” instead of “agitated rambling” in speech where AOC gave after nobody voted on her proposal. We apologize for this error.

Didn’t she tell people not to vote for it? Oh that’s right she did but god forbid garbage news like you actually do your damn job.

And she didn't even vote to support her own idea...........

Please go use the mental health benefits in that new health insurance of yours ... please!

And she was still wrong.

You are doing a great job these Republicans to wear you down is never seen such an articulate well thought-out evidence-based Latina

Her own party didn't vote for her deal. She is not very bright.
