AOC Celebrates Oil Workers Losing Their Livelihoods: 'You Absolutely Love to See It'
PJ Media ^ | 04/21/2020 | Tyler O' Neill

On Monday, U.S. oil prices fell below zero for the first time ever, shocking observers and raising doubts about the solvency of oil and gas companies coming out of the coronavirus crisis and the oil selling war between Saudi Arabia and Russia. These negative prices were distressing news for the U.S. economy, threatening livelihoods of oil and gas workers and the availability of the gasoline Americans will need after the crisis ends. Yet Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) saw them as a reason to celebrate.

"You absolutely love to see it," AOC tweeted. "This along with record low interest rates means it's the right time for a worker-led mass investment in green infrastructure to save our planet. *cough*"

In other words, AOC found the negative prices not only a reason to celebrate but another excuse to push her radical Green New Deal legislation. Except, the Green New Deal would not be "worker-led," of course. The green big government boondoggle would not just devastate America's energy sector and cost all those workers their jobs, but it would require the government to tax the life out of the rich, the middle class, and probably the poor, too.

But you know what they say, never let an opportunity — oh, sorry, I mean a crisis — go to waste, right?

Even Ocasio-Cortez seems to have had some shame, however. She deleted the tweet but not before it had been saved for eternity.

House Minority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) was among those calling out AOC's despicable words.

"Oil & gas workers are losing their livelihoods. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's response was 'you absolutely love to see it.' Then she deleted it because she doesn't want people to see the truth: Dems are willing to sacrifice people's jobs & livelihoods for their radical socialist agenda," Scalise tweeted.

Have you ever seen the outside of her office? It's utterly covered in post-it notes as if a 5 year old got a hold of a bunch of them and decided to decorate the walls. I assume these are from her disciples. Makes me wonder if the inside of her office is covered in crayon drawings

If you can dig for oil down in a mine shaft, you can learn to code....

Yes. She's that stupid to think deleting a Tweet makes the history disappear. Even the Russians in the 1950's couldn't pull off that trick successfully. Now with the internet, you post, it's forever.

The words of wisdom on those post-its must be priceless.

What a dummy. Low oil prices mean the “green” energy is really not competitive in the market. Ask the local Toyota dealer how easy it is to sell a Pious right now.

Shame on NY for their rotten Democrat politicians that are a scourge to our country: AOC, Schumer, Cuomo etc etc.

And there you have it. Sandy Ocasio is a heroine to her followers. It really does not matter how obnoxious or stupid Sandy is, she’s going to be re-elected. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the idiots in NY elect her Senator.

Just think if AOC didn’t audition as a Socialist Democrat congressional candidate and win a low turn out primary, she would be an out of work bartender now.

We are living through the economic devastation of her Green New Deal now. This is what America would look like if she got her way. The only thing missing is the next stage of raging inflation.

That has to be a coordinated effort. Who sends post-it notes by themselves through the mail, especially pink and blue ones?

Occasionally (not always) the camera captures the cold, ZERO compassion face of the psychopath. Barack, Michelle, Hillary, Rahm, Brennan, Strzok, Pelosi, Feinstein, Schumer, Ted Bundy, Manson, Mohammed Atta, Ayatollah Khomeini, etc., etc.

If you miss the 1) Face...go to the 2) Words and 3) Deeds

If you miss them all, your probably enslaved, raped or dead.

Lipstick on a psychopath ALERT!
