Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called on lawmakers Tuesday to address the systemic cause of climate change as she reintroduced a resolution in support of a Green New Deal.
“The climate crisis is a crisis born of injustice, and it is a crisis born of the pursuit of profit at any and all human and ecological cost,” the New York Democrat said at a press conference in front of the U.S. Capitol.
She continued, “We must recognize in legislation that the trampling of indigenous rights is a cause of climate change, that the trampling of racial justice is a cause of climate change, because…we are allowing folks to deny ourselves human rights and deny people the right to health care, the right to housing and education.”
The group behind her clapped as she made her remarks, although they likely don’t have a clue what she said.
Ocasio-Cortez was joined by Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Representative Cori Bush (D-Mo.), Representative Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) and several advocates as she relaunched the resolution and related climate measures.

What a dingbat
Why is this thing even getting a headline?
AOC makes stupid people look smart. I have yet to hear her utter a single statement that makes sense. She needs to serve her country by leaving politics and returning to bartending. She might get the order incorrect, but she will not desecrate an already dysfunctional political system.
I wonder why the media follows her. If they got to visit in an insane asylum, they might encounter quite a bit that is far more logical than AOC.
Is this a joke! Typical liberal.
She makes as much sense as a pre1a child! Dumber than dumb with a mouth big like a crocodile and a venom for humans that is unmatched.
She is the face and spokesperson of the new Marxist TREASONOUS America hating DemonRat party.
This filthy demented maggot not only looks like sewer rat, but actually has the intelligence and brains of a rabies infected sewer rat.
Tomorrow Biden will prattle this nonsense. Psaki will circle back and try to reinterpret what the president meant. The next day CNN will interview the democrats who are elated that Biden is destroying America in less then 100 days.
I agree that she doesn’t really seem to have the whole picture, and attributing motives of greed in ecological issues as related to racial politics is steep in general.
However, the hoax of global warming which results in government tax dollars being spent on harmful chemtrails chemicals being sprayed from airplanes to block the sun; experimental vaccines being pushed on the populace and also financed by tax dollars that might be used instead for minorities or other needs of the people at large, and also similar issues are quite real.
Why would she call it a green deal? Black matters more.
She is indeed awful. She also won election. Twice. By a landslide. The onus is not on her and her ilk to go away. It’s on us to defeat her. If we can’t, it’s our side’s fault.
Thanks NY
ויפתח את פי האתון…..
It’s very simple!
Due to racial injustice and poor people, there’s riots where they burn down buildings cars and more which creates very high pollution…

@klal Yisroel, make no mistake, the donkey had by far better vision, and spoke with more clarity and sense 😉
