What, she didn’t clap back? Has the media finally given up on that meme?
‘Out of context’: AOC backtracks on claim climate change will end world in 12 years
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Sen. Rand Paul after he claimed she said the world would end in 12 years if nothing is done about climate change.
“Hey Senator! Would you like me to also take your comments out of context and pose them as your earnest position, as you have chosen to do with me?” the New York Democrat wrote Wednesday. “I assume the answer is yes, especially given that the GOP climate agenda is about as fictional as Spaceballs anyway.”

But, um, see, she did kinda say it
For some reason GOP seems to think this is a gaffe, but it’s actually a generational difference.
Young people understand that climate change is an existential threat: 3,000 Americans died in Hurricane María.

Wasn’t this why she released her Green New Deal with Senator Ed Markey? Yet, has failed to demand a vote on it in the House, and freaked when Mitch McConnell put it up for a vote in the Senate (forgetting that Markey submitted it to the Senate).
So far, Rand hasn’t bothered replying, but, then, what’s that old saying about “never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
