Total hypocrite Ocasio-Cortez outed for relying on
combustion engine cars and vans while claiming fossil
fuels are destroying the planet
Self-proclaimed ‘democratic socialist’ Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York has regularly
drawn the ire of Republicans on Capitol Hill and
elsewhere, but she’s increasingly putting Democrats
whom she aligns with, politically, on the spot as
well.
For one thing, her grasp of public policy-making is
infantile, at best, as evidenced by the recent
sophomoric roll-out of her “Green New Deal,” which
called for radically altering Americans’ use of
current energy sources including nuclear power and
those generated by fossil fuels within a decade — an
impossibility.
For another, nearly every time she opens her mouth to
opine on a subject she is quickly exposed for her
hypocrisy, which, of course, reflects badly on
herself but also on Democrats in general.
Case in point: While introducing a plan to
“radically” eliminate Americans’ use of fossil fuels
after claiming recently in a ‘sky-is-falling’ manner
that we only have “12 years left” to “save the
planet” (from destruction due to overuse/over-
reliance on fossil fuels), Ocasio-Cortez has been
outed for relying primarily on big fossil-fuel-
guzzling modes of transportation.
As TownHall writer Timothy Meads noted:
“For thee but not for me,” New York Democratic
Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez apparently
believes when it comes to saving the planet from its
potential doomsday within 12 years.
The New York Post added that “gas-guzzling car rides”
have exposed the freshman lawmaker’s abject hypocrisy
on the environment, her overtly political end-of-the-
world prediction and the fact that she doesn’t
believe the rules she prescribes for everyone else
should apply to her.
“We’re like, ‘The world is going to end in 12 years
if we don’t address climate change,’” she said in,
like, January. “And, like, this is the war; this is
our World War II.”
Just a week ago she elevated her rhetoric past the
point of ludicrous when she said, “It is basically a
scientific consensus that the lives of our children
are going to be very difficult” due to climate
change. “And it does lead young people to have a
legitimate question: Is it OK to still have
children?”
