Ocasio-Cortez: 'There's no debate' that fossil fuel production should stop
Fox News ^ | 10/12/18 | Lauren Lee

Posted on 10/12/2018 5:02:41 PM PDT by Libloather

Democratic House candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rallied an audience of supporters in Washington Thursday evening with calls to implement single-payer health care and tuition-free college – along with an appeal to stop fossil fuel production entirely.

Ocasio-Cortez, who is running to represent New York’s 14th Congressional District, has made no secret of her opposition to fossil fuels. She’s called for politicians to forsake donations from the industry and is pushing a “Green New Deal” plan which entails a shift to 100 percent renewable energy by 2035.

But she cast her position in stark terms Thursday, during a fundraiser at a restaurant along D.C.’s hip 14th Street.

“There’s no debate as to whether we should continue producing fossil fuels. There’s no debate. We should not,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Every single scientific consensus points to that.”

There’s no debate that Ocasio-Cortez should be tossed in a tire shredder.

“Ocasio-Cortez is a useful idiot.”

Idiot, yes. Useful, not so much.

Sounds like they expect her voters in Washington to push her over the top.

She has a degree in economics but doesn’t even know basic economic terms such as how the unemployment rate is calculated.

She says the Electoral College was created as part of slavery.

She believes President Bush getting 51% of the vote had in fact “lost” the popular vote when he appointed two Supreme Court justices in his second term.

The DNC Chairman says she is the “future of the Democratic Party.”

The other candidates running for that seat must be thinking to themselves, “I can’t believe that I’m going to lose to her.”

Always believe women. NOT!

One notable exception: loving and devoted wives are infallible when speaking ex cathedra on matters of home and husband screw ups :- )

No jets, no taxis, no heat in her apartment, no hot food, no fuel to make her fancy wardrobe.

How do we get this woman a bigger platform? She’s a best spokesperson for conservatism that we’ve got.

So that big-mouthed Leftist walks or rides a bicycle to get around. Or does she just want us to so she and her comrades can drive or fly. Such an ignorant wind bag. Amazing that some university gave her a diploma. That place should be shut down.
