AOC on climate change

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) stood up for a Republican rival on Friday after he was heckled by an audience member at MSNBC’s town hall on her signature policy proposal, the Green New Deal.

A heckler called former Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.) a “moron” after he said it would be impossible to pass the resolution to obtain carbon neutrality in the U.S. in a single Congress “with the number of committee references that you would have in the course of that.”

Inglis also suggested progressives such as Ocasio-Cortez focus solely on climate change now and address other issues like basic income at a later date.

“Make the changes now, you moron,” shouted one man from the audience.

Ocasio-Cortez immediately fired back at the heckler.

“Hey, hey, hey, hey that’s unacceptable,” she said.

“And that’s the difference between me and Trump,” she added to Inglis.

Inglis voiced his concern about the GOP’s skewed stance on climate change ahead of his departure from Congress in 2011.

My idiot brother, the Trump apologist, has announced that AOC is a “hater.”

Someone who follows Trump calls someone ELSE a “hater.”

Okay.

Here is the quote: “She is a hater. A polarizer. A politician feeding on totalitarian instincts combined with moralizing.” A Donald Trump supporter literally wrote that on one of my other idiot brother’s post.

He also said in the same breath, “‘Racism’ is a silly anti-Donald insult repeated ad nauseam as if it means something. Yet what we see in real life is Nathan Phillips and Jussie Smollett.”

And so…I just hit the back arrow because there is nowhere to start with that, and nowhere to go once you start anyway. People who genuinely believe that racism isn’t a thing are simply impossible.
