Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared in a MSNBC town hall on Friday and forcefully defended her Green New Deal and called climate change"our greatest existential threat."
Even some Democrats in Congress have sought to distance themselves from the Green New Deal. Republicans, meantime, are trying to turn the progressive plan into a wedge issue in the 2020 elections. According to Ocasio-Cortez, if the American voters end up making the plan a priority or show overwhelming support for it, then there's"political room to pass it."
"This issue is not just about our climate," said the 29-year-old lawmaker. She said there's"runaway income equality" and the economy isn't producing and innovating like it needs to be for the American people.
Little Sandy, the victim of ignorance.
AOC GOP NASAEarth TheEconomist thedailybeast BuzzFeed nypost How climate is changing
AOC is removed from reality
Please check her green card
She’s correct, disagreeing with her is a privilege I enjoy
It’s her agenda which is not agreed by most of other people including his Democratic colleagues.
If only Democrat Senators would have voted yes for her New Green Deal, but they chose not to, because she allegedly told them not to, so, I guess Democrats are privileged and removed-from-reality on climate change, right?
This chic lives in a dream world - she needs drug tested because no one can be as stupid as she is.
Good thing Trump founded the space force and commanded nasa to go to the moon and mars. The real MVP
AOC please keep talking the American people are realizing how stupid and how naive you are.
She is a breath of fresh air

Great ! I reminded me of Henry Agard Wallace AOC is Rep for people,not for big business
She’s incredible 🥰
Woman needs a mirror.
Isn’t she removed from reality.
Climate change is a sad reality. Harsher hurricanes, excessive tornados, heavy flooding in some areas and extreme droughts in other areas are consequences. The GOP and President Trump and bury their head in the sand but that does not change the reality.
She truly is bat shit crazy...and of course a hypocrite
Yes wont take the train she lives a block from nor pay her back taxes ... Ok?
‘Cept the girl from Westchester is privileged and removed from reality.
Maybe 27,000 people per sq mile New York model is not the most sustainable one...
AOC should be in a psychiatric ward not Congress DontLetStupidPeopleLead
so much for a perceived reserved sophistication in politics.
eyebrows sponsored by Nike 🤔
