Ocasio-Cortez rips McConnell for Green New Deal vote: 'He doesn't want to save our planet'


Speaking to Vox reporter Ella Nilsen, Ocasio-Cortez accused McConnell of rushing a vote and not wanting to take action against climate change "because he thinks we can drink oil in 30 years when all our water is poisoned.
“What McConnell’s doing is that he’s trying to rush this bill to the floor without a hearing... without working through committee -- because he doesn’t want to save our planet. Because he thinks we can drink oil in 30 years when all our water is poisoned,” she reportedly said.
In a tweet on Monday, McConnell seemingly addressed accusations that he was manipulating the vote to divide Democrats.
“I could not be more glad that the American people will have the opportunity to learn precisely where each one of their senators stand on the ‘Green New Deal’: a radical, top-down, socialist makeover of the entire U.S. economy," he wrote.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tossed another childish temper tantrum today, this time while speaking in Congress.
Watch below:
Wow. That is just nutty.
Her plan is so extreme that even Democrats are abandoning it, and yet all she can do is scream like a child that you’re anti-Science if you don’t want to ban airplane travel and get rid of cow farts. Pretty remarkable.
