Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be the leading voice behind a left-wing push for a Green New Deal, but the New York Democrat won't be serving on a newly created House committee tasked with combating climate change.
**SNIP**
On Thursday, both Pelosi and Ocasio-Cortez confirmed that she was invited to be on the panel but declined the offer.
"She did, in fact, invite me to be on the committee," Ocasio-Cortez said. "I don't think that this is a snub."

Makes no sense, she was invited but she declined but it wasn’t a snub?
“I suspect Pelosi will keep Cortez quiet by offering her travel on worthless overseas junkets.”
Pelosi may have been a smart politician who knew how to cajole and manipulate at some point. But age has taken her cleverness and left raw power, which lacks subtlety. Pelosi will make every effort to crush the little irritant. Also, AOC’s lack of smarts and huge celebrity is a danger to not only Pelosi, but the entire party. If somebody can’t take her under control and use her, then I suspect AOC will suffer a tragic accident. She will lie in state in the Capital rotunda and Democrats will shed public tears, and private smiles, as they always do.
AOC is too busy writing “unwilling to work” economic security paycheques
Where did she learn how to mix White Russians?
At Putin's knee?
Aha....she's colluding with Russia.
Mr Mueller, please call your office.
Why would “AOC” be on it? I caught a snip of the “Green New Deal” on the news, and I kid you not - it is to address “racial disparity”. I was shocked they even let that out over the airwaves; this is not related to environment, but a “brown new deal”/Great Society II - mo’ money!
The modern day ‘Big lie’ of climate change rolls on. It is a hoax, folks. I have read the data and it was manipulated to say whatever they wanted it to say.
JoMa
Ah yes, the 2019 Che Ocasio-Cortez "Small, Frail Aircraft Tour" for the perpetually ignorant, bigmouthed upstarts...
I can practically here her asking; "Why me?!?" A La the Sopranos "Adriana La Cerva".
Alexandria Oblivious-Commie has been chosen by the media as the next Kardashian politician. She even makes news for not making news. There’s nothing there, but the media still think she can be made into the same kind of vacuous star as Barack Hussein. I pray that they are wrong.
Enron, the sequel.
Does much of anything from AO-C make any sense? Logical and critical thinking are not among her strong capabilities.
She doesn’t even recognize that Mamma Pelosi tolerates no disobedience when it comes to obeying the whim of Nancy.
Was this another bloodless “decapitation”? Another Alexandra, Nancy Pelosi’s own daughter, shared a blunt response when asked: “She’ll cut your head off and you won’t even know you’re bleeding. That’s all you need to know about her.”
This is worse - she is openly admitting it is just a race-based wealth redistribution scam BEFORE perpetrating it.
Any GOP members on this committee?
occasionally conscious will just grow another dick .... it’s what mutants do.
I guess AOC has worn out her welcome already.
That was fast.
I suspect the same.
She’s a loose cannon.
Pelosi is jealous of all the attention AOC is getting without paying any dues. There’s only room for one queen bee in the house.
“I suspect Pelosi will keep Cortez quiet by offering her travel on worthless overseas junkets.”
Pelosi should only offer her travel that doesn’t use fossil fuels!
The committee would have been AOC’s graveyard. Kudos to her advisors for recognizing it.
Probably Susan Collins of Maine.
