Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for more urgency to address climate change on Friday, comparing its impact on American to the tragedy of 9/11.
The Bronx rep. was discussing her Green New Deal on MSNBC when she said the devastation from Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico was similar to the 2001 terrorist attack.
“On the events on September 11, 2001 thousands of Americans died in the largest terror attack on US soil,” Ocasio-Cortez told host Chris Hayes.
“Our national response was war in one then eventually two countries: 3,000 Americans died in Puerto Rico due to Hurricane Maria. Where is our response?”
Ocasio-Cortez addressed the criticism of the cost of her plan by saying that the country needs to take action in order to avoid future catastrophe.

According to Sandy from Westchester the world is ending in less than 12 years so let's just buy more sunscreen and chill.

9/11 is apropos for her.
9 plus 11 is her IQ
As a NYer, I can’t say what I’d like to see happen to her for comparing a REAL and HORRIBLE nightmare to BULL####!!!!
Dumb ####.

The best thing about AOC is that she is too stupid to keep her mouth shut.

Let her SPEAK! She does more damage for the Dems every time she opens her piehole and says publicly what they all believe in, but don’t have the guts to admit to. Nancy and the rest of the House leadership can no longer control or muzzle her. All I can say is fire away AOC!

Difficult to believe that Ocasio-Cortez can even pour a drink correctly.

The author of the article isn’t much better...”the tragedy of 9/11.”
A “tragedy” is when a bus goes off a cliff. 9/11 was an Act of War.
Reality check: AOC was 10 years old when 9/11 occurred.
