WASHINGTON — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Republicans for labeling everything they don’t like in her Green New Deal “socialism” at a congressional hearing Tuesday.
“While I am incredibly flattered that the ranking member and many members across the aisle seem to be so enamored with a non-binding resolution presented by a freshman congresswoman sworn in three months ago, I think that ironically — despite that fixation — it doesn’t seem that they’ve actually read the contents of the proposed and presented resolution,” Ocasio-Cortez said at an oversight committee hearing on climate change.
“I would encourage that we don’t need CliffsNotes for a 14-page resolution that was designed to be read in plain English by the American people,” she said.
**SNIP**
“I would also like to highlight that it is not responsible to complain about anything that we dislike as quote-unquote socialism,” the New York Democrat said.

More Cortez flatulence.
I’m okay with dismissing it as just plain stupid.
The “green new deal” is already dead AOC, you stupid bimbo... Now go away.
Calling a spade a spade. It is what leftists refuse to do because they are overly emotional about everything.
JoMa
Both Obama and Nancy have told her....”Just shut up”.
Don’t dismiss it simply as “socialism” - it is openly race-based socialism.
Oh, the Green New Deal that no Dem in the Senate voted “yay” for?
Well we could dismiss it as complete garbage or the ravings of a delusional psychotic dimwit or proof of the abysmal ignorance of the voters in NY and their equally ignorant representative since it is all of these things as well as socialism.
Yeah now she’s just annoying, like a fly.
And Trump will use the new germ dead constantly in the election and ask whatever piece of garbage wins the dem primary if they are for or against.
I dismiss it as Naziism
Condescension doesn’t work well when used by 29 year old snoot nosed twits...
Al Gore thought he would become a billionaire off this. F’n grifters should know we all get it.
Any zero sum game is socialism. The green new deal is a zero sum game of we bad, nature good, all you convicts hand over all your stuff
“I’m okay with dismissing it as just plain stupid.” < This.
Yea it is, but she is being pushed by the Euros who are calling it now the green transition. She is just hiding that she is coordinating it. Bunch of lawyers probably have drafted the legislation already, waiting for the process.
It is frightening. Bunch of terrorists.
A socialist is someone who is too stupid to grasp they’re a communist.
