Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the gift that keeps on giving. I still have trot out my personal conspiracy theory that she’s a GOP plant designed to make Democrats look like the uber-far left Modern Socialists (meaning they aren’t just wanting all the economic policies of Socialism, but the massive, giant, controlling powers over our personal lives, which is actually 100% against the Socialist political model) they really are. To make them look nuts. To look bad. Because no federally elected Rep could be this bad, right? Sure, there are nuts like Maxine Waters, but, that’s just derangement. This is just stupidity
U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., defended the Green New Deal after the recent rollout of the New York Democrat’s policy proposal got a lot of attention over “farting cows.â€
In an appearance Thursday night on the premiere of Showtime’s late-night “Desus & Mero”show, the comedy pair hosts of the program asked the freshman congresswoman why she thought the initial reaction focused on “cow farts.”
“In the deal, what we talk about, and it’s true, is that we need to take a look at factory farming, you know? Period. It’s wild,†Ocasio-Cortez said. “And so it’s not to say you get rid of agriculture, it’s not to say we’re gonna force everybody to go vegan or anything crazy like that. But it’s to say, ‘Listen, we gotta address factory farming. Maybe we shouldn’t be eating a hamburger for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Like, let’s keep it real.â€
It’s a shame they don’t have the audio of this, because it certainly sounds as stupid as it looks, if we go be some of the available video whining about twitter trolls being “heavy” and sounding like a 9th grader.
Also, she’s admitting that the farting cows thing was meant to be in the GND resolution. It was yanked out after being laughed at, of course.
“But we have to take a look at everything,” Ocasio-Cortez continued, “and what we need to realize about climate change is about every choice that we make in our lives, you know?”
And therein lies the problem with the Cult of Climastrology and Modern Socialism: they want the Government involved in everything. I’d say “right now it’s farting cows. Next week it could be your use of natural gas in your house and the energy efficiency of your home”, but, they’re already coming after that.
Also
Also on Thursday’s show, the Democratic socialist also defended her call for a 70 percent marginal tax rate on incomes over $10 million, which she said represented a “pretty good year.â€
“It really comes down to the question of, ‘Isn’t $10 million enough?’ Like, when does it stop?†she asked. “At what point is it amoral that we’re building Jeff Bezos a helipad when we have the most amount of homeless people in New York City?â€
Imagine how much all the taxes paid by Amazon would have helped with decreasing homelessness in NYC. Imagine what all those jobs would have meant. Good job killing that off, AOC.
